Generation gap refers to the lack of understanding between generations caused by their different attitudes and experiences. It is common everywhere and it has a great influence on the relationship between generations.
People of different generations are likely to have different views and responses on the same things. Owing to different experiences, the young and the old have much to disagree on, Young people on average favor changes and new ideas while old people are usually conservative, sticking to traditional principles and old ideas, and looking down on young people's renovative behaviors and radical ideas. This often causes obstacles between them. They have great difficulty in reaching an agreement while arguing on something. This often occurs almost families. Different opinions between parents and children usually end in quarreling.
Generation gap may result in some negative influence unless we deal with it properly. The young and the old should find more that they can share, and they should understand each other rather than condemning the weak points. Thus the gap may become narrowed and have little effect on our work and relation between generations.
