NEW GENERATION VS OLD GENERATION

The generation  gap is widening at an alarming speed.Things are changing significantly. The way things used to work in the past is not the same as now because new systems of doing things have been make known to the society.Others have been of assistance to us in a way or another while some have relapsed our influence on the society.New generation should take the advantage of modernization, which has taken place all over the world at a very fast pace. This should be considered blessing, but at times, the young mind can get tempted  and his/her use of modernization, may not be appropriate.The stress level of the youth is very high due to a very competitive world. We have to change for better and adjust according to the need of the time.

What culture used to prevail during olden days, was not absolutely right, and what is happening these days can't be totally appropriate. Sometimes parents want to give advice to their children about what they gathered from their lifetime's experience.Children don't have patience to listen and they will prefer to have their own experiences.At times, there is so much disparity the way two generations think.For new generation run, run and run, and have fun. Life is once and should be enjoyed. Factors, which have widened the gap so drastically are: Misuse of IT like cellular phone and internet, social networking, media, rave parties,luxury schools, peer pressure, etc.

India is a very culture oriented country, and there can be change of language, dress code, cooking habits among-st the people of different religion and caste.The elders should be tolerant to changes as long as they are within normal limits. Youth in metro spends time in malls, watching movies and eating fast food.One fine day, some of them may fall in love and relationship.Few will progress further towards marriage. Most such marriages are usually not successful, because soon they discover they are different types, cultural problem, family background and well arranged marriages are also not successful, but they make all possible efforts,and also parents from both the side are co-operative.

New generation believe much in brand, fast food, fast transport, fast communication, over cellular phones or internet, hobbies are surfing, face book, twitter, whats app, etc. No time for games and if they add some kg of extra weight, would prefer to go to Gym.Some of the modern advancements have changed the lives of so many. You just think and plan and you will be there very soon. We should have more counselors in schools, colleges and other institutions and there should be stress on moral education. They should live life fully and enjoy, but not at the cost of their career, health and compromising with morale.
