Introduction
My goal in this project is to critically analyze 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.
I am analyzing this because Generation gap is the process, which is perceived as the age gap
between the old and young generation. I interpret this to mean These generation gap is the
reason for conflicts and communication related gaps and misconceptions, due to which the
balance between societies are destroyed. A distinction in suppositions, qualities, dispositions
and way of life among individuals of various ages is called 'generation gap'. Because of these
distinctions, individuals having a place with various generations get themselves unfit to
identify with each other. It has been found that individuals from various generations act
diversely in any given circumstance. In light of their perspective, convictions, thoughts, and
over all conduct generations have been ordered into various classifications.
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 generation gap is a frustrating gap that hampers the communication process between two
age groups leading to create a social gap within the society and unable to influence each other
positively as well as negatively. The present children are naturally introduced to an
aggressive world and have a battle to get everything. Numerous a period their actual potential
gets eclipsed in the rat race. Parents, then again, feel that in this quickly changing society
where everybody is so conceited, it is their obligation to ensure their children.
The younger generation feels a lot of problems which is discussed below.
My interest:
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 interpret this to mean that, the modern context of generation gap can be understood by the
study that younger generation nowadays do not consider the achievements of elder generation
as they think that competition at their generation is higher than the elders. I interpret this to
mean that, Generation gap is the phrase given to the distinction between two generations. The
general public changes at a steady pace and thus the way of life, philosophies, sentiments,
convictions and the general conduct of individuals additionally experiences change with time.
This change offers approach to more up to date thoughts and breaks the outlandish
stereotypes and it positively affects the general public. Moreover, the greater part of the
circumstances it turns into a reason for struggle between two generations.
What I need to make clear:
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.
Connection and analysis:
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.
- After reading my project I want people to realize the situation that the young people face
and also the problems they have in comparison to the older generation.
