Every generation of people is different in important ways. How is your generation different from your parents’ generation? |
With the development of science and technology, the world is changing rapidly from generation to generation. Our generation has different aspects which are mainly in the perspective n the female labor in the workplace and in how to deal with allowance. My generation has life styles different from those held by the previous generation. To compare my generation with my parents’ generation, there are two specific things I would like to mention below. Firstly, unlike the conservative tendency held by my parents’ generation, my generation is liberal. For example, in old days, most of the countries’ economies were predominated by men. In those days, it was hard to find women in the workplace. It was not due to glass ceiling or sexual discrimination, but the conservative tendency people had. Meanwhile, as soon as the Information Age emerged, the male chauvinism began to fall down and women started to take an active role in society. As a result, women became more notable in community and some even became the CEOs of large corporations. Secondly, the previous tendency of spending money was to save it for the future life. On the other hand, contemporary people tend to have the “enjoy-the-present” attitude which makes people consume more. To illustrate, a number of children who lived during my parents’ generation had the habit of saving their pocket money and then spent their saved money for the sake of themselves later. In contrast, children living in my generation spend their allowance immediately after their parents gave it to them. To sum up, surely, my parents’ generation and my generation are different in many ways. The differences are chiefly in tendencies toward female labor in the workplace and habit of how to handle money. I believe that the different approaches to the abovementioned matters are what tell our generation apart from the previous generation. |
