With the rapidly development of nowadays' society, the problems that have been bothering people all the time seem to be more serious, such as the air pollution, fierce competition in job market and the explosion of population. Therefore, there are great many people hold that parents are showing less understand to their children than half a centry before. Others, me included, argue that it is not completely true. Among all the reasons which support my opinion, there are two main as follows.
First, the key matter which contributes largely to generation gap is the facts that parents and their dear children are at different stages of life, rather than the changing society. On the middle age, parents aways think that their life experience should play a significant role in their offspring' life. Out of carefulness and sense of responsibility, parents are eager to devote themselves to guide their children in the right direction but ignore children's own thoughts. Things did not change during these years. Fifty years ago, most Chinese parents care about their children's marrige so much that many of them tried to seek for Mr. or Miss Right for on behalf of their children. Although in modern Chinese society, few parents do the same thing as before, there are still other kinds of interruption of their children's life. Such as choose which major in college, or the city to live in.
Secondly, we should make it clear that the general gap still exist in developed society is that parents and children lack of efficient communication and understanding. If we change a little bit on the way parents and children get along with each other, situations will be different dramatically. Children should talk more about their real thinking and show more respect for their parents who cultivate them for so many years. On the contrary, parents ought to do the same things. For example, I like to indicate what we young people like and dislike, our criterion of success to my parents and even taught them how to shop on internet. And my parents also love to share with me something interesting or meaningful when they are as young as I am now. In this way, my parents and me turn to be close friends.
Actually, both parents and children would love to enjoy the hamounious relationship between them. Therefore, we should find out the real problem instead of shifting the responsibility to our innocent society. Our world could be different as time goes, so could the relationship between parents and their children.
