Introduction
My goal in this project is to critically analyse the generation gap between the older
generation and the younger generation which is prevalent across various interest of daily life.
-It is an issue all over the world where the generation gap is one of the major things
that has affected the role play and the working of the different families. The older generation
prefer to stick to their old school customs and traditions and not to go with the time. The
younger generation however try to incorporate the various kinds of new ideas and beliefs into
their lives and try to make sure that the old school thoughts that are not valid anymore are
modified accordingly. Though there is a misconception among people that the younger
generation do not feel any sort of issue as compared to the older one, this theory is
completely invalid. The younger generation feels a lot of problems which is discussed below.
- My interest in the topic comes from the personal experience I have and the problems
that I face compared to my previous generations and the ways in which I can solve them.
- Personal experience: I live in a country that has liberal point of view and that helps
me in making my own decisions and giving me the freedom to do the needful. My parents
and the older generation of my family have always been supportive of my decision and have
given me the scope to face my problems and solve them accordingly. However, there are
people in this world living in countries that have a huge generation gap and the older
generation do not understand the problems of the younger self that I have experienced with
my friends.
- I need to acknowledge some of the nations and the problems that the younger
generation faces. In addition, I need to analyse the root of the problems and the various ways
in which those problems hamper the daily life. The problems of the younger generation can
be both professional and personal and can be treated accordingly.
- The society plays a major role in determining the problems that the younger
generation can have and what are the implications that are measured by the problem. The role
of the younger generation as determined by the society has no problems or issues which
makes them seem heartless and irresponsible. However, in reality this is not the case as like
any other generation, the youths face some major problems right from the professional issues
to relate to friends and family.

The young generation is inclined towards the use of mobile phones and the
technology associated with the same. The use of technical equipment in the everyday life of
the people is one of the major means with which the people is being outclassed. The focus
group in this study is the young generation people who are mainly concentrated into the
lifestyle related to the technical advancement of the people.

The youth of the 21st century face a number of problems in their life which their
previous generation have never faced in their lifetime. Right from their birth, the people of
the young generation have to face certain kinds of problems like unemployment, issues with
family and friends and also certain educational and society issues. Their counterparts are very
much affected by the different kinds of circumstances given by them by their parents and
society.
