Generational Gaps And Conflicts

Among the short stories "Who is Irish by Gish Jen" and "Everyday Use by Alice Walker", both writers are concerned about the fight to live with a very different cultural mindset from the conflict between generations between mother and daughter I am arguing. . The meaning of these two stories is that each family tree has intercultural problems. And it is common to find comfort in places where it is unlikely. Mothers may not agree to their daughter's choice, but she never loses her love.

Another argument against the gap of generations leading to conflict is the core value of each generation. Giancola (2006) cites a report from the American Retiree Association (AARP). It states that the central value between generations is not much different. "The difference is so small that AARP means the disappearance of generational disparity" (p. 34). Perhaps the most ignored argument against intergenerational thinking is all the other reasons for people's differences. "Many factors such as race, sex, ethnicity, geographical factors, socio-economic background, etc., in addition to the birth age will affect others' thoughts and actions" (McDonald, 2008, p. Each of these functions can play a role in the way people are influenced something. Since the United States is currently quite diverse, many organizations employ different types of people.

Generational disparity is often thought of as a difference between generations that causes conflict, complicates communication, and creates "gaps". "There may be times when generational disparity helps to make lack of communication between frustrated young people or to separate the culture of society and to cultivate their own personality. There is always a difference, but the big difference implied by this term has not been proved well before the 20th century. Prior to that, society was not very fluid. Young people usually live close to their big family, are worshiped in their childhood church, and are often working at family farms and family owned.

Family conflict is a theme that is elsewhere, for several reasons. In several ways, family conflict is combined with the theme of intergenerational disparity. This is because conflicts among families are often caused by lack of understanding among people, and often happen between adults and children / teens. In the sky of October, the conflict between Homer and his father John can not be avoided in many ways. Homer and John were bought in an entirely different world. John grew up in a traditional world, most things are black or white - right or wrong, things are always done in the same way. Homer is in adolescence, during which the future of a small town is uncertain and America is in the technical era. When growing in such a different world, they will have very different ideas and opinions about almost everything. In other words, conflict will definitely occur in these respects.
