We can see that there are two points in this definition. First, the difference. What is the difference? Between generations, we can find differences in culture and social roles; Different lifestyles. Old people like traditional culture, while young people are eager to update it. Old people want their children to act according to their wishes, while young people want to go their own way. Old people like memories, while young people look to the future. Old people live a traditional and serious life, while young people like a modern lifestyle.

There are so many differences between generations, because each generation has different cultures and experiences. To some extent, the generation gap has become a social problem. However, we find this absolutely difficult to solve, because there is no way to eliminate these differences.

Many people think that the generation gap is a fashionable saying. But three thousand years ago, the great philosopher Socrates described the young people in his society. He said, "They have no manners at all. They flouted authority, contradicted their parents and beat their teachers. They wolfed down their food, chattered and didn't give others a chance to speak. " It can be seen that the history of the generation gap is much longer than we thought.

But I think we still have a way to mend it. Do you remember the second point of its definition? The generation gap does not come from the differences between the two generations, but from the lack of understanding between them, and mutual understanding depends on the communication between the two generations. Unfortunately, we don't communicate enough now. But I think the most terrible thing is not this, but our ignorance of communication. I can take our daily life as an example. On the one hand, many parents try to provide a good living environment for their children. But they just want their children to study hard and seldom want to know what they are thinking. On the other hand, children always complain about their parents, but they don't want to understand them.

Do you think it is difficult to communicate between generations? I don't think so. Remember how you made your first friend? Open your mouth and strangers will become friends. With your tongue, we will know each other better. I believe that the generation gap can be bridged in this way. As an old song goes: "Open your heart, the key is in your hand."
