What is the generation gap?

The generation gap is a common social phenomenon, which hinders the exchange and communication of ideas, feelings and life between generations.

The elders and the younger generation grew up in different environments, received different education, moved in their own life circles, contacted different people and things, and formed certain differences in thought and behavior.

If this difference is not mended and allowed to expand, the invisible wall between the two generations will accumulate thicker and thicker, making it easier to misunderstand. This is the psychological generation gap. To paraphrase a modern language is the so-called "generation gap".

The older generation and us new humans have different social experiences. With the development of history, people's social environment and social tasks are inevitably different. From youth to old age, physical changes will inevitably bring about psychological and behavioral changes.

The existence of the generation gap is objective, but not helpless. Its expansion will deepen the contradiction between the two generations and bring some disharmony to family life and even school life.

As a junior, as long as you work hard, you can minimize the distance between the two generations, which is not only conducive to your healthy growth, but also helps to maintain the warmth of the family atmosphere.
