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：现实还是心理偏见对我的心理产生的差距是比较现实的，比心理上的偏见。它一直是一个热门的问题，它仍然是紧迫的今天。这是一个流行的术语来形容年轻一代和他们的长辈之间的巨大差异。这可以被定义为“当发生在老年人和年轻人不理解对方，因为他们的不同的经验，意见，习惯和行为。在20世纪60年代，这个词最早在西方国家出现，并描述了婴儿潮一代和他们的父母之间的文化差异。虽然在历史上存在着一些代际差异，在这两代人之间的差异在过去的时代相比，特别是在音乐品味，时尚，毒品的使用，文化和政治等方面的差异，现在你很难找到一个男孩或女孩满意他们的父母。你也会找到一个大人，父母不抱怨的年轻一代的孩子。流行音乐，超现代的衣服，喧闹的政党和孩子们希望能有更多的自由成为成年人和他们的后代之间相互理解的障碍，帮助父母和青少年之间的差异。看来，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。根据老一代青少年的懒惰，无忧无虑，不礼貌，不礼貌和粗鲁。他们穿着可笑的衣服，听着糟糕的音乐，他们想的是聚会，约会，朋友和娱乐。青少年很少有责任感，很少有问题。但这真的是这样吗？如果我们看到一个少年的思想，我们会看到一幅非常不同的画面。十几岁的青少年们很担心他们的外貌、朋友、父母和老师的关系，以及其他人（尤其是同龄人）对待他们的方式。他们遭受粉刺，欺负，在学校的问题，自己的男朋友/女朋友的误解，缺乏自信，等等。青少年往往不知道他们的好，他们的未来似乎是比较模糊的。他们每天面对很多压力的情况而感到沮丧。除了他们从上级和长辈的恒定的压力应该如何行为，行为，外观和感觉。
有很多书和电影专门的代沟问题。一个这样的电影是“怪异的星期五”（2003）。苔丝科尔曼（柯蒂斯·李·杰米）和她十几岁的女儿安娜（林赛·罗韩）之间的鸿沟越来越明显。他们根本无法理解对方的喜好。他们对服装、发型、音乐、责任和人的看法完全不同。在一个星期五的早晨，母亲和女儿交换身体。当他们适应新的个性，他们开始彼此了解，最终他们获得了对方的观点。它是‘无私的爱’，改变了他们的生活，但在现实生活中没有魔法，这就是为什么在父母和孩子之间的差距应该有一些桥梁。我的心灵沟通是解决问题的最好方法。成年人和孩子们在一起的时间越长，他们就越是交谈，讨论不同的事情，他们彼此理解得更好。它是非常重要的是无私和开放的态度，耐心和真诚。尽管在过去的几十年里电子技术环境发生了巨大的变化，在六十年代和七十年代，一个定义的差距并没有像今天的那样单独的一代人。“代沟”会消失。如果我们有点聪明，孩子们会发现他们的父母的核心，反之亦然。
