What's a
generational
gap?
The generational gap is the age difference between
groups of people with divergent values, beliefs and
perceptions of life.
This gap goes much further and creates significant
daily problems and friction.
For example, parents may feel that the values of the
current generation are wrong, that their hobbies are
inadequate and, in general, that their way of looking at
life is not right.
