(1.1)INTRODUCTION
A Culture is a composite of the enduring behaviors, ideas and attitude and
traditions shared by a large group of people and transmitted from one
generation to next.
Attitude is a hypothetical construct that represents individuals like or dislike
for an item. All are positive, negative or neutral views of an “attitude object”
that is a person behavior or event. People can also be “Ambivalent” towards
a target possess a positive and negative bias towards the attitude in
questions.
Every generation has its middle class majority and norms which are decided
by those eras’ standards of behaviors and thoughts. Every group receives a
name whether it is a club or organization plants, animals, or people.
No matter what it is it will receives a level so label so that it can be referred
easily. The values of past generation have been very self centered. Young
generation believes in equal rights for all strong connections with family and
friends. Young generation is so materialistic that the older generation sees
them as “Floozies with credit cards.”

The youth today are definitely not giving respect and regards to the aged
generation for reasons that ours circumstantial and particularly of fast moves
forwards of the world which is more drifting towards materialism and less in
spirituality. There is no dynamic, truthful and leadership that can inspire
these frustrated, visionless, jobless, desperate youths who are surely on a
cross road.
Generally, no elders will think that for children. The good qualities are
inherited from the elders. It’s true that world is changing and new ideas are
emerging. This cannot frighten anyone. However, it creates some anxiety
among elders who treasures high values which they
have inherited. It’s also a fact that elders feel insecure as they are offended
that children may not take care of them during old age. This can be
ascertained from the fact many old age homes are functioning in our
country. The present day youngsters will also become older on day which
should be kept in mind. One should lead only an interesting by also a
meaningful life.
Any individual when young is hot blooded. The young have agitated mind.
In such a condition they cannot take right decisions and pass the blame on
the elders for their failures. If one has been honest in life, the most observed
discipline and have good chapter. One fails to understand how and why
respecting older is going to cause defensive and aggressive teaching among
the youth. As long as one depends on elder, due respect must be given.
The youth must realize when they have the right to fight for their
individuality that also the duty to answer society collectively.

There is no doubt that the young generation is getting more and more
aggressive, frustrated, ignorant and intolerant day by day. Various reasons
can be attributed to this phenomenon. First of all, in a highly competitive
world, survival of the fittest syndrome is working now. The norms that are
being set to measure the standard of fitness itself are questionable courtesy.
The reservation policy that has virtually divided and distributed every bond
that kept our society as one in olden days.
Those who care and value their parents must be highlighted in the society so
that they become an example to others also. For if persons respects and take
care of their parents they will surely do some in the society.

(2.1)LITERATURE REVIEW
A generation gap is a popular term used to describe big differences between
people of a younger generation and their elders. This can be defined as
occurring “when older and younger people do not understand each other

significantly in comparison to previous times, particularly with respect to
such matters as musical tastes, fashion, drug use,culture and politics. This
may have been magnified by the unprecedented size of the young Baby
Boomer generation, which gave it unprecedented power, influence, and
willingness to rebel against societal norms. (http//:wikipedia.com)
According to Meera
“The generation gap is the constant struggle of the parents to prevent their
kids from doing things that their own experiences and wisdom tell them is
going to harm their kids. The kids on the other hand try constantly to prove
to the parents that they are equipped to take control of their lives. Neither is
wrong – they are both right in their own premise. The parents blinded by
their love for the kids would rather have their own experiences replace the
experiences of their kids. Whereas, the kids are convinced that their
