▶ Your Answer :
There might some people who believe that
parents today can understand their children as well as parents did 5 decades. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for two subsequent
reasons. First, technology created generation gap between parents and their
children. Second, children today do not have enough time to converse with their parents.
To begin with, generation gap was made by
developing technology. Over the past few decades, a variety of communication
like SNS and smart phone’s applications have been introduced, all of which was much
more used by children than their parent. However, 50 years ago, it was much
easier for parent to connect with their children because there were not these
lots of options.
Let me bring up my personal story as an
example. When I kept in touch with my friends by using SNS, my mother did not
understand why I did this. If the technology had not existed these days, my
mother could have more comprehends me than present.
In addition, there is no enough time for
children to talk with their parent. This is because their life so busy to
survive in the competitiveness of today society. As a result, since they have a hectic
schedule, there is no time for their parent to talk to them and
learn about their life –style. According to research done by Korea university,
the average children spend time talking with parents less than 30 minutes every one week.
Students nowadays should concentrate on academic course. Good
grades will help them get into good university and eventually, get great job. This
is clearly shows that busy life of today children prevents them from having
quality time with their parents.
In conclusion, technology has made
generation gap and children today are so busy. In this regard, I strongly agree
that parents today do not understand their children likewise parents did fifty
years ago.
