Read the article below. 

The generation gap is an endless social phenomenon. Every generation lives at a certain time under certain circumstances and conditions. That is why all generations have their own set of values and views. Every generation wants to uphold the principles they believe in. This is a problem that has continued for ages. Generation Gap is a term given to the gap or age difference between two sets of people; the young people and their elders. 

It is always good to have a wide range of ideas, views, and opinions. It indicates how we are developing and advancing but sometimes this becomes worrisome when the views and ideas are not accepted by both generations. People born in different periods under different conditions have their views based on the circumstances they have been through. Everyone wants to live and behave in his way and no one wants to compromise with his or her values and views. There has always been a difference in attitude or lack of understanding between the younger and older generations.

Examples of two generations are parents and children. Parents want to bring up their children with values that they have been brought up with and expect their children to follow the same. They want children to act following their values, as they believe, it is for their benefit and would do well for them. Children on the other hand have a broader outlook and refuse to accept the traditional ways.  They want to do things their way and don’t like going by any rulebook. Parents at times fail to understand the demands of this fast-paced world. Ultimately, despite love and affection for each other both are drained out of energy and not able to comprehend the other.

The generation gap occurs because society is constantly changing. It is the responsibility of both generations to fill this gap with love, affection, and trust.
