2-GENERATION GAP

The generation gap definition is the difference in values and opinions between older and younger people. Often those in different generations have different ideas about how one should behave and believe

The oldest generations´ childhood was without many modern conveniences we are used to today like TVs, radio, airplanes, air conditioning, or refrigerators. Families often consisted of a mother staying home while the father worked for one institution throughout the life of his career. Children were expected to work hard in school.

A certain amount of misunderstanding between the younger and the older is almost inevitable, but that does not deny that today’s generation gap is different and potentially more profound. The rapid development of technology and financial insecurity create significant obstacles in understanding younger and older generations
