General Gap

The generation gap which refers to the differences in attitudes between people of different generations like leading to the lack of understanding between a family, friends, officers or the others. It is also defined as a difference in values, lifestyles, and economic, the opportunities that exist between people of different age cohorts living in the same society. The generational differences have existed throughout history.’(Stevenson, Soanes, 2004)’ A gap has been always noted between the current generation and the other generations distinct. ‘(Emillia, 2011)’ Everything is affected by the changes of the time-the age, the culture, mannerism, morality, and thinking. It is possible that the generation gaps are very different from both teenagers and parents like me. Nowadays, the technological having a greatest change in advantages between generations. We can see that the comparison of technologies between the past and the present years especially like the television. The television in the past was only having a black and white image, optical screens, a few channels, and also with an antenna attach to their back. But today there are many types of varieties televisions which we can have and hold. The new generation can enjoy about watching television by having a liquid crystal display and plasma display, which also having great sound systems and in flat screens which can let them enjoying the better of the hearing sense and the sense of sight. The computer is the one of technologies that are evolve completely that can make our works easier and faster, great-organize and fitting than older types of writing and manipulating the files. It is also changing the Central Processing Unit (CPU), keyboard and mouse have improved into which is called laptop or notebook that can help us access the Internet quickly. For example, my parents have to use handwriting to complete their works since they are young but now new generations can use the computer to complete their assignment or works in quickly and easily even that they can find information by computer using internet. Communication was all technologies the most important tools under our lives because it can help all people communicate with their distant relatives so that they can contact them in any time which is called Smartphone. At the era of parents, the Smartphone was very thick and weighty which causes them hardly to carry conversely the era of new generation like us of the telephone was very advanced and the size very thin and easily to take it out. It is many differences of Smartphone between parents and young people’s era like the parents Smartphone can’t support for the games and also messages but when until the young people’s era, the Smartphone have designed too many new tricks like a lot of applications, games supports, online and so on. In summaries, the technologies of communication between parent and young people’s era are very different. ‘(Emilia, 2011)’ After that, our parents were grown up under hard life when they were a child by worrying about foods and clothes. Because they are life under the wars and also the corruption of political. They tend to exercise caution and take everything into consideration before making a final decision. So, the new generation is living well under the care of our parents, having a peaceful and abundant life. Teenagers never put in effort under the details of fulfilling their goals. For examples, the differences between teenagers and parents which is teenager more concern under shopping or playing, but our parents are more likely to go to the market for buying some vegetables or a basket of fruits. Parents will think clearly which product is cheapest and more quality however young people can purchase goods by credit card without caring the price whether it is expensive or not. In conclude, young people are rapid decision-makers whilst our parents having prefect and detailed plan. ‘(Mrarching, 2009)’ In addition, most of young people having a great and perfectly education but our parents didn’t have a chance to receive a great education because of the economics or others reason. They are directly gone to work to earn money to feed their families since they still a child so that they can’t get education. On the other hand, the young people were very lucky because they have parents to support them from getting better education than before. However, young people also have to learn from parents because they having more practical experiences under problem solving efficiency and effectively simultaneously they are doing better on how to communal and collaborate with others to run things smoothly. ‘(Mrarching, 2009)’ Furthermore, the lifestyle is also completely different between parents and young people. In the era of parents, familiarly they have other favoritism in music, style and culture. For example, most of the parents like to listen flute music and lyric song whilst young people like to listen the song with rap or pop song like Koreans or others country. Parents also like to follow with interest in others country culture like my father mostly getting interest on China culture such as ceramics, ancient city, brilliant historical figures and so on but our young people always concentrate on playing games, watching dramas and movie series, or use computer online to social network sites. They rarely focus on a country cultural or historical because they think it is boring from keep focus on history or culture of a country, young people very like to focus on computer matter because it is fun. Actually, I believe that all people are having an independent lifestyle and not the generations which he or she belongs to, but it is important of differences between parents and teenagers generation. ‘(Samyon, 2012)’ In conclusion, I believe that nowadays society of children and parents was having an huge differences. Young people no need to have struggle to live, everything has come easily to them. But the older generation have to experience more than arduous life. Differences of generation have their own system of values and views, but no matter how different between the generation and the happens of generation gap, new generation have to treat the old generations with a great respect. ‘(Tang Zhong Hua, 2010)’
