I am feeling very much pleasure while sharing my experiences on this topic. First of all, let us discuss briefly what is this generation gap ?
Generation gap is the term used to describe the age difference between two generations. For instance, the gap between our fathers and grandfathers. I remember a poem which I read in my grade 11th. The name of the poem was Father to Son in which poet as a father was describing about his relationship with the son. This poem was totally based upon the conflicts arisen by generation gap. Although poet shared his personal experiences in the poem but the subject is really universal which has it’s consequences in every relationship.
The term is very wide in itself. The differences between them are actually based upon their thinking/thought process. As the time passes on, the living style of people goes on changing and modernization makes their lifestyle more advanced. Children start refusing their parents’ orders whereas parents want them to opt the lifestyle which they lived. This is the root cause of conflicts between parents and their wards. The love between gets lost between these daily quarrels. Although their may be love and care but is generally not expressed. The example for such conflict is like when parents want their children to not go outside in the late night but children are willing to go with their friends. Additionally, when parents want their children to wear traditional clothes but they are interested in wearing western culture clothes. There are many more examples and the list is endless.
Now there is one major solution to avoid or solve these quarrels that is mutual understanding. Children and parents should understand the emotions of each other. They should respect their feelings and try to cooperate. If there would be opposition on any topic then obviously there are high chances of conflicts. So there should be agreement to sort out the matter or if not possible then they should have strong points to prove their statement. All in all, efforts should be done to maintain the love and care in relationship.
