People today are still talking about the generation gap(代沟J) .Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect,while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.
What has gone wrong?Why has the generation gap appeared?
One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style.In more traditional soci¬eties,when children grow up,they are expected to live in the same area as their parents,to marry people that their parents like,and often to continue the family occupation.
Parents often expect their children to do better than they do,to find better jobs,to make more money,and to do all the things that they were unable to do.Often,however,the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.
Finally,the high speed of social changes deepens the gap.In a traditional culture,people are valued for
their wisdom,but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight(隔夜).
如今人们仍在讨论代沟的问题.一些父母抱怨说他们的孩子不懂得表现出适当的尊重,而孩子们抱怨父母一点都不理解他们.
问题出在哪里?代沟又是为什么出现的?
一个重要的原因是年轻人想选择他们自己的生活方式.在更传统的社会中,当孩子长大了,他们被期望和父母住在一起,和他们父母喜欢的人结婚,并常常继承家业.
父母经常希望他们的孩子比他们做的更好,找到更好的工作,赚更多的钱,并做到一切他们做不到的事情.尽管如此,父母对孩子过高的期望就往往成了代沟的另一个起因.
最后,社会的快速发展则加深了各代间的代沟.在传统社会中,智慧是人们存在价值的所在,但是在现代社会,终生所得的知识可能隔夜就过时了.
