144.Every generation of people is different in important ways. How is your generation different from your parents generation? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.
The principal differences between my generation and my parents generation are in how they relate to others. My generation is more tolerant of other peoples choices, less concerned about what others think, and more self-centered.
My parents generation has stricter standards about what kinds of behavior are acceptable. They sometimes have a hard time accepting the fact that other people may have different ideas about whats right and whats wrong. My generation thinks people should have a lot of choices. For example, they choose whom they want to live with, whether or not to have children, whether or not to practice a particular religion, and what to do for a living.
My parents generation is much more concerned about what other people think of them. Many grew up in tightly knit communities where people knew each others families. Filling in meant that you had to act a certain way. Many of my generation grew up in loosely knit communities, where we only knew about our closest neighbors. We didnt care what the rest of the community thought of us. Also, we were a very rebellious generation and often did thing just to shock people.
Wherever we grew up, most of my generation didnt have to worry about having enough to eat or a roof over our heads. My parents generation did. They grew up during the Great Depression, when many people were poor. For this reason, my parents didnt have time to analyze their feelings or think about their inner selves. They were too busy trying to get by. Children of my generation were well taken care of by their parents. Because of that, we had time to think about ourselves and our place in the universe. As adults, many of us have continued to be self-absorbed. We join health clubs to be prefect in body and go into therapy to be perfect in mind.
When I think about our actions, it seems that my parents generation is more outer directed and my generation is more inner directed.
