gap refers to the difference in attitudes or behaviour between a younger generation and the older one In my opinion, different attitudes towards life, different views about certain problems, and a lack of communication can cause a generation gap in most societies The first factor is that parents and children generally see things from different perspectives Choosing a career is a good example for this Many parents try to impose certain careers they favour on their children, based on their own perceptions However, young people don’t always understand their parents’ points of views Instead, they prefer to be free to make their own decisions on their future career Another factor lies in differences in musical tastes, fashion, and political views between young people and their parents For example, having a pierced nose might be viewed asfashionable by some teens, but for many parents, it is considered to be an act of rebellion against social norms Some parents may also find their children’s behaviour unacceptable and disrespectful to traditional values The major factor causing the generation gap is the lack of communication between parents and their children Parents tend to be dominant and not to trust their children to deal with crises Also, they keep talking too much about certain problems That is the reason why young people seldom reveal their feelings to their parents When facing problems, young people prefer to seek help from their classmates or friends The above mentioned factors could lead to a generation gap In order to bridge the gap between the old generation and the younger one, mutual understanding is the vital key The wisest solution would be for parents and their children to treat each other as friends Does the generation gap refer to the difference in attitudes or behaviour between a younger generation and the older one? _ How young people usually react when their parents impose career choices on them?
