　　Generation Gap

　　Though many aspects of our social life have been improved, the generation gap between the youths and the olders remain and even grows wider.

　　In my opinion, because of the influence of individualism from western civilization, the youths do not blindly follow what the elders say, that causes the gap. The young are creative and revolutionary, always go along with the trend and like changing. While the old, accustomed to everything of the past, are hostile³ to change. Also with more and more different beliefs and philosophical⁴ ideas, it is natural the young hold different opinions from the old.

　　I think in order to narrow the gap, both parts should try to understand and respect each other, instead of trying to change others as they wish. Diversity doesn't mean conflict so long as they hold the right attitude towards the problems.
