Quick Activity
Agenda
Why do we care about generational differences?
What do we know about the younger generation?
How do we make it work and bridge the generational gap?
“Our youth now love luxury. They havebad manners, contempt for authority;they show disrespect for their eldersand love chatter in place of exercise;they no longer rise when elders enterthe room; they contradict their parents,chatter before company; gobble uptheir food and tyrannize their teachers.”
Why do we care?
“A generation is shaped by the events and
circumstances its members experience at
certain phases in life, beginning with
childhood. Common generational traits
initially develop as a result of social
attitudes toward children and child rearing
norms at the time.”
