Generation Gap: Reality or a Psycho

Generation Gap: Reality or a Psychological Prejudice
To my mind generation gap is rather reality than a psychological prejudice. It has always been a topical problem and it still remains urgent nowadays.
So what does a generation gap mean? It is a popular term used to describe big differences between people of a younger generation and their elders. This can be defined as occurring 'when older and younger people do not understand each other because of their different experiences, opinions, habits and behavior'. The term first came into prominence in Western countries during the 1960s, and described the cultural differences between the Baby Boomers and their parents. Although some generational differences have existed throughout history, during this era differences between the two generations grew significantly in comparison to previous times, particularly with respect to such matters as musical tastes, fashion, drug use, culture and politics.
Nowadays you will hardly find a boy or a girl satisfied with their parents. Neither will you find a grown-up, a parent not grumbling over 'younger generation' of their children. Pop music, ultra-modern clothes, noisy parties and children's wish to have more freedom become a stumbling-block on the way of mutual understanding between adults and their offspring and help foster differences between parents and teenagers. So it seems that in most families parents don't understand their children and children don't understand their parents.
According to the older generation teenagers are lazy, carefree, ungrateful, impolite and rude. They wear ridiculous clothes, listen to awful music and all they think about is parties, dates, friends and entertainment. Teenagers have very little responsibility and very few problems. But is it really so? If we look inside the mind of a teenager, we will see a very different picture. Teenagers are greatly worried about a great number of things: their appearance, relations with friends, parents and teachers, the way other people (especially their peers) treat them. They suffer from pimples, bullies, problems at school, misunderstanding with their boyfriend/girlfriend, lack of self-confidence, etc. Teenagers often don't know what they are good at and their future seems to be rather vague. Every day they face a lot of stressful situations and feel depressed. Besides they have constant pressure from betters and elders as to how they should act, behave, look and feel.
There are a lot of books and films devoted to the problem of the generation gap. One of such films is 'Freaky Friday' (2003). The wide generation gap between Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) is more than evident. They simply cannot understand each other's preferences. They have absolutely different views on clothes, hair, music, duties and even people. On a Friday morning the mother and the daughter switch bodies. As they adjust with their new personalities, they begin to understand each other more and eventually they gain respect for the other's point of view. It is 'selfless love' that changes them back.
But of course there is no magic in real life, that's why there should be some other way to bridge the gap between parents and their children. To my mind communication is the best way to solve the problem. The more time adults and children spend together, the more they talk and discuss different things the better they understand each other. It is very important to be selfless and open-minded, patient and sincere. Despite the great changes in the electronic and technological environment in the last several decades, a defined gap does not separate today's generations as it did in the sixties and seventies. So the 'generation gap' can disappear. If we are a little wiser, children will find a key to the heart of their parents and vice versa.

代沟：现实还是一个心理偏见
心头代沟是相当现实比一个心理偏见。它一直是一个热点问题，它仍然迫切。
什么代沟意味着什么？这是一个流行的术语，用来描述一个年轻人和他们的长辈的人之间的大的差异。这可以被定义为发生在老年人和年轻人不了解对方，因为他们不同的经验，意见，习惯和行为。这个词第一次来到西方国家突出在60年代，并描述了婴儿潮一代和他们的父母之间的文化差异。虽然有些代际差异在历史上一直存在，在这个时代，两代人之间的差异显着增长，过去相比，特别是音乐品味，时尚，药物的使用等问题，文化和政治。
现在你很难找到一个男孩或女孩满意他们的父母。你也不会找到一个成年人，父母不抱怨的年轻一代的孩子。流行音乐，超现代的衣服，嘈杂的派对和儿童希望拥有更多的自由成为绊脚石在成年人和他们的后代，帮助家长和青少年之间的差异之间的相互了解，培养方式。如此看来，在大多数家庭的父母不理解他们的孩子，孩子也不理解他们的父母。
据老一代青少年是懒惰的，无忧无虑的，忘恩负义，失礼和粗鲁的。他们穿着可笑的衣服，听可怕的音乐和他们所想的是当事人，日期，朋友和娱乐。青少年很少有责任和很少的问题。但真是如此吗？如果我们看看里面的青少年的心，我们将看到一个非常不同的画面。青少年非常担心很多事情：他们的外表，与朋友们的关系，父母和老师，其他人的方式（尤其是同龄人的）对待他们。他们遭受青春痘，恶霸，在学校的问题，自己的男朋友/女朋友的误解，缺乏自信，等。青少年常常不知道自己擅长什么，他们的未来似乎是相当模糊的。他们每天面对很多压力和沮丧。除了他们的长辈和老人恒压应该如何行为，行为，外观和感觉。
有很多书籍和电影专门的代沟问题。一个这样的电影是“freaky星期五”（2003）。在苔丝科尔曼宽代沟（杰米Lee柯蒂斯）和她十几岁的女儿安娜（林赛·罗韩）是显而易见的。他们根本不了解对方的喜好。他们的衣服，头发完全不同的看法，音乐，甚至人的职责。在一个星期五的早晨，母亲和女儿的开关机构。当他们调整他们新的人格，他们开始彼此更和他们最终获得对方的观点，尊重理解。这是无私的爱，改变他们回来。
当然没有魔法在现实生活中，这就是为什么应该有一些其他的方式来桥父母与子女之间的差距。我心灵的沟通是解决问题的最好方法。花更多的时间在一起的成人和儿童，他们越谈和讨论不同的东西更好的了解彼此。它是无私的和开放的态度很重要，耐心和真诚的。尽管在过去的几十年里，在电子技术环境的重大变化，一个定义的差距并没有单独的今天的一代是在六十年代和七十年代。所以代沟会消失。如果我们聪明一点，孩子们会发现他们的父母和反之亦然
心脏的一个关键。
