What is the difference between new generation and old generation?

Answer 1

INTRODUCTION

The only thing that persists in the world is change. Every passing second ages the existing people while witnessing the birth of new ones. Age adds to the experience and challenges of people. This game of experiences and challenges gives us opportunity to learn an experiment. However, sometimes experienced/ old want others to benefit from, what they have learnt, while inexperienced / youngsters insists on experimenting themselves. At the same time, the changing needs poses new challenges that the previous generation has not encountered. This difference of experience and way of thinking together with new inventions, availability of information and technology introduces friction between the two generations. This friction is also referred to as generation gap. However, understanding the presence of generation gap and agreeing to disagree can reduce the chances of unhealthy and unpleasant argument between the two generations.

HOW DO YOUNG PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THE OLDER GENERATION TODAY.

It is the fact that wise older adults can often learn from the young and the young can learn from their wise elders. Sometimes the old and wise true methods of getting through life still apply to today's youth, but young people can make some of the older generation feel their youth yet once again and help the older generation to expand their idea on certain subjects and some of the younger generation can keep the older generation in the 'know' on many subjects. Both should respect each other. The older generations have a history that could be very interesting and valuable to the youth of today. If the younger generation is rude; arrogant and disrespectful then that's what they'll get back from the older generation and if the older generation is grumpy and complaining about the younger generation it's because they have not experienced anything positive from them. Many of the youth today are volunteering in nursing homes to help the elderly; getting to know the older generation by joining clubs, etc. and hopefully more of this is happening so the two generations are combining and learning from each other.

HOW DO THE OLDER PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THE YOUNGER GENERATION TODAY

Children now are often organized so much to fit into a system but it is becoming obvious that there are things wrong with that system, so perhaps the older people are thinking on helping the young generation become more able to cope with challenges and changes instead of challenging them into specialized paths quite so much. They are also organized so much to fit into the system to study hard, get a job, get a mortgage, have a family, accumulate things, and continue the cycle into the next generation. Many people are not really thinking about that the younger generations are becoming slaves of the system, because in their limited spare time they seem to be sucked into the TV, reading newspapers or worried in their businesses.

They think that the young generation is not physically active but are mentally sharp due to the valuable information they get from the internet. They are lazy but smart. Nowadays children don't listen to their parents. They are inquisitive but don't have a sense of responsibility. They have bad eating habits. They are self-confident and are not shy to ask. If the older generation don't encourage their young generation to think for themselves, seek alternatives, or at least let them know that we accept their need to do so, then they are going to feel very trapped, and also probably worried about disappointing us.

HOW DO YOUNG PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES TODAY

The young people of today think about nothing but only themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age people. They are mostly impatient. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what is wisdom for older generations is foolishness for them. The young people today think are wonderful, creative and are hoping for a brighter future. Many young people sense the need for change in our society, and most people see them wanting to make the world a better place. The media puts too much emphasis on the bad acts of a few young people to create a crisis where there is none, attract attention from real issues, and as an excuse for government to trample on everyone's rights. They are optimistic and ambitious. Earlier on, people fell easily for emotions whether it was for family or friends, but today's youth can equally balance emotions. Even though the younger lot is considered to be impatient, their impatience is because they don't want to waste time. The young generation wishes to explore all possible horizons. Most of the times over smartness shown by them put them in trouble. At times the greed of money makes them do something they are not supposed to.

HOW DO THE OLDER PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES TODAY

Older generation has seen life and hence they know the positive and negative of every situation. They have a natural ability to do so. Older generation can better judge people since they have met so many in their life. It is seen that most of the crimes are committed by the younger generation who get influences from TV and cinema. Older generation being more practical and intelligent can easily point out the difference between wrong and right. They all say that there was a safe and pleasant environment, due to less robbery and killing. There was less pollution, as there were no cars there but there were motorbikes, whose pollution was absorbed by the trees. There were more healthy people compared to nowadays, as there were not many junk foods. People mostly used to eat eggs or parathas, and fewer chips. They also say that they were not risk-takers. They used to think and plan more than nowadays. They over-protect their children and were not contended. The old generation has the flexibility which allows them to change with time.

CONCLUSION

The study done above tells us that we being the future of this world get prepared for tomorrow. The lessons learnt and the experiences made by the old generation should be considered an asset rather than junk. Similarly the older generation through the flexibility should accept the alternate thinking. This acceptance and understanding will bring peace to the two generations without hampering prosperity that asks for change on the bases of the experiences and sometimes bold decisions and experiments without any experience.

Answer 2

Since i am old it is better to explain the secret of gap. old generation faced lot of problems and came up and reached a state where thet can grow their children, with out putting them to hard ships. every one pressumes that their future generation should not face difficulties which they had faced. even they did not bother to educate in explaining the past due to false prestige. hence present generation developed inflated EGO that they are born with gold spoon in their mouth. since all old people failed to explain traditions ,professional back ground of past, hardship,and struggles, present generation lost the link. as long as the gap is not filled it ,will continue.

Answer 3
