the younger generation imitates the older-this is normal and justifiable.whats your view about this?

Question

has this character changed in this modern era?is this more applicable to our previous generation?

Answer 1

We program our computers or have others or software to do it for us. So it is with children. Parents usually do the early programing then society, educational systems and established laws join in for the rest of life's programing. And life being what it is, genetics are built-in hardware. Two good race horses will usually produce another good race horse. Humans are no different. Many traits are passed down over many generations. Some folks recognize their inborn talents, some don't. Some children will pick up traits and characteristic of grandparents and other ancestors. Most it seem will identify closely with parents.

Answer 2

I don't think any younger generation has ever wanted to imitate the older. I can recall stories with my Grandparents (the kind they only share with you once you grow up) and clearly they had a rebellious side when they were younger also. Every generation thinks they will be better, do it better, and never be the "squares" their parents were. There are millions of examples out there to prove it. Why do you think every parent of a teenager has some age range that rolls off their tongue, as to when all teens should be sent off to the "Island" and another age when they feel it might be safe to bring the rebellious teen back from the "Island."
Of course this is just a joke, sometimes.
And the Parents WANT their children to do better than they did. Always have and always will.

P.S. I do not understand
what you really mean by "normal and justifiable"-If I were to see a young person imitate their elders, I would NOT find that to be normal or justifiable behavior.

Answer 3

imitating previous generation is applicable to the last generation only... in the current age the present generation is not only doing the just opposite to whatever told or advised by their parents... they rather ignore them and sometimes retaliate if interrupted by the elders...

if you copy the western way of life, indiscriminately you would definitely turn materialistic... and the value for the relations and lineage vanish... you become a robot for earning wealth and spending it for your pleasure and luxury...

however there is a majority of youngsters who even do not complete their academics... do not get a job... lose all the parental assets... and eventually end-up as paupers...

Answer 4

The trend is reverse now. Now the elders copy youngsters.

The present generation of elders is one which had already entered the Neo modern thinking with the advent of petrol cars, telephones, electric trains, changes in share market operations, the scant regard for rituals, the priests themselves not practising the order of recitals etc. and a tendency to adjust full text of rituals shortened according to comforts and convenience.

Therefore there is nothing new about the present seniors not following culture ( except that they do not appear in disquiets)

Today is in the hands of youngsters. You need not depend upon your seniors to tell you about your culture and religion. Loads of in-formations are available on net.. They are only a click away.

Even if nobody tells you that you have a rich heritage, know it from your own sources and develop your groups to follow them. They will be helpful in reducing stress of your modern life and complexities in family life. It will support your self confidence...For heavens' sake please do not imitate your seniors, in matters of cultural adherence.

Answer 5

Imitation is justifiable and good.
