The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force that it was during the Viemam era, 2009 stdy suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of PAGE 20,Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences. Today. however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive. That 1s partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults Iflarge differences between the generations exist, wiy don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold. First. the two largest areas of difference—technology and music—are less emotionally charged than political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of th: younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as superior to their own generation—clearly a difference from the 1960s with its sallying cry of "Don't trust anyone over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work ethic and respect for others (Adapted from winw.verywellfamily.com) 1.
