LAHORE: Generation gap occurs when there is a difference of age between one generation and the other. For example, conflict between parents and children. It may be a difference in political views and the general attitude towards life, among other things. There could also be a huge difference between the thinking of two generations.

Every generation adopts new ideas and develops new ways of life. Communication between people belonging to different generations at home or work sometimes becomes difficult to understand. People belonging to earlier generations were good at their work. People these days get bored quickly from their old job and find new jobs within a few years. This is quite an unsettling trend.

Generation gap occurs due to a constant change in the world. It should be understood that because people are born at different times they happen to be different from others but neither of them is wrong.

At all times, people must respect each other for their individuality. No individual has the right to impose his or her ideas and opinions on others.
