Parents today are still talking about generation gap(代沟) .Some parents complain(抱怨)that their children do not respect them,while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.
Why has generation gap appeared?
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.However,the high expectations that parents place on their children cause generation gap.
Besides,the high speed of social changes makes the gap wider and wider.In a traditional culture,people are valued(重视)for their wisdom.But in our society today,the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of date very soon.
