MY GENERATION VS. MY PARENTS’ GENERATION

            There are vast differences between my generation and my parents’ generations. My generation’s thinking is related to our nation as well as the whole world, but my parent’s generation was restricted to their family and native country. Nowadays, we are living in a world that is constantly changing, so we have to adapt ourselves to interacting with people from different generations. Consequently, the differences between our generations appear in three major areas: communication, education, and lifestyle.


     In addition, another great difference between people in my generation and my parents' generation is education. Most people in my generation tend to have at least a bachelor’s degree. In other words, they cannot work until they have an appropriate education. In contrast, people in the older generation did not have a lot of opportunities to study. In the past, only rich people would have the opportunities to study. Also, people in the older generation focused more on working than studying. Thus, people in my generation have a higher education than people in my parents' generation. And to be more specific, my generation in Saudi Arabia has the opportunity to study abroad. Our government gives scholarship to almost everyone in any fields. This is in contrast with my parents' generation when the scholarship program was only for the people who had a high position in the military.

            

In conclusion, communication, education, and lifestyle are the primary differences between my generation and my parents’ generation. Each generation has its own unique advantages and drawbacks, but the most important thing is that every generation gives valuable lessons to the next generation.
