The Reality of Generation gap in India
The
phenomenon in which one generation is not able to cope up with another
generation is known as a generation gap.
The generation gap
is continuing from long years ago. First of all, let’s
talk about the time when the care of our parents was taken by their parents. At that time, they (our parents) had to
do whatever they had been told to, and if they would not have been done that, then
it would have been seen as a crime, especially if you are a girl.
Mostly the
victims of this generation gap were girls. They were not allowed to go outside
their homes much; they were not allowed to talk to a boy. They were not allowed
to wear some particular types of clothes.
And after their marriage, they (girls) were told to whatever your in-laws say
may be good or bad, you have to follow them.
That time
there was no case of giving acceptance to what type of jobs they want to do.
But in today’s life children have to struggle to say what they actually want to
do in life.
In today’s
time, most parents want to push their
children to the jobs or profession where there is a process or almost security to
achieve the security. For example, if a
parent is pushing his child to engineering,
then he /she has study and earn good marks in four years according to which
he/she will get a job, and n the job if he/she works well, he/she will get
promotion, but if the child wants to become a cricketer, a parent thinks that
there are many who are dreaming of becoming a cricketer, he or she may not be
able to be a cricketer but the parents doesn't think about the fact that they
can’t force a person to do something which doesn't make them(children) happy, if
a person is happy with what he/she is doing then the work gets easier and is
completed but if a person is made to do a work from which he/she is not happy
then the work turns into a cage for the person and makes harm to the person
from inside or we can say mentally.
So, to avoid
this generation gap, the parents should allow their children to explore things,
teach them to be a good person before become anything, and then let their
children decide what they want to become or what they want to do.
Another
example of the generation gap is when
parents want to tell their children to not to do something then they tell it
like ordering them to not to do that thing. But they should not do like that
,they (parents) should think first that what they would have done if they were
in the situation in which their children are, what they would have done if they
would have been in their children’s age, then after deciding through these
factors they should talk to the children.
And in
another case if the parents want to advise
something to their children, then it should not be like you (parents) would go
and tell your advice thing to your children and come back, the parents should
give the advice by making an environment such that the children have interest
in listening to the advice. Likewise, the parents who complain that their
children don’t share anything with them should create such an environment. Parents
should not pressurize the children they (parents) should behave with them
(children) in such a way that the children will share stuff from their side.
Now let’s
talk about the stuff of the children
related to the generation gap. Children who complain about that their parents don't give them this phone, this bike etc.
,first of all, they should think that who
are giving them food to eat, clothes to wear and a place to live. The children
should also think about the mentality of the parents who do a lot of hard work
for them (children) . The children should keep in mind that we can achieve
everything in life if we work properly and if they (children) are asking their
parents for something then they should, first of
all, know through which situation their parents are going through, and
if they (children) are asking their parents for something they should first
ensure that they (parents) are in a good mood.
