Generation gap is a term used to describe differences in cultural norms between members of a younger generation and their older. This is when older and younger people do not understand each other because of their different experiences, opinions, habits and behavior. None is exception to this phenomenon. In this essay I will elaborate on generation difference.
The prompt response in decision-making is a characteristic of today’s young people. They have learnt to act fast. The video games young people have grown up with have played a vital role. They have played with simulations since their childhood and have learned to act fast, observe what happens, and adapt. I don’t remember to have imagined of a video game in my childhood. The games I knew about were Kabbadi; Musical Chair; Foot Ball & Volley Ball etc.
The concept of career has changed. Young people talk more about jobs and skills than they do about career paths. They don’t see any benefit in picking a single career. Rather young people hunt for more than one career parallel. Life in the new millennium is all about speed. In a climate of rapid change the younger knows to act fast and win or stay in the game. Those who proceed slowly and cautiously lose. The Information era has taught never to wait for anything. Computer simulations help formulate ideas, test them, retest, refine and move forward. Younger believes in just doing it at the speed of thought.
In conclusion; loyalty has new meaning among younger generation that sees parents little downsized and reengineered. They know the days of corporate loyalty are long gone. Young people now look after themselves first and they reciprocate loyalty to the cause or organization wherever they feel respected and valued.
