我们这一辈与父辈的区别英语作文

The principal differences between my generation and my parents’ generation are in how they relate to others. My generation is more tolerant of other people’s choices, less concerned about what others think, and more self-centered.

My parents’ generation has stricter standards about what kinds of behavior are aeptable. They sometimes have a hard time aepting the fact that other people may have different ideas about what’s right and what’s wrong. My generation thinks people should have a lot of choices. For example, they choose whom they want to live with, whether or not to have children, whether or not to practice a particular religion, and what to do for a living.

My parents’ generation is much more concerned about what other people think of them. Many grew up in tightly knit munities where people knew each other’s families. Filling in meant that you had to act a certain way. Many of my generation grew up in loosely knit munities, where we only knew about our closest neighbors. We didn’t care what the rest of the munity thought of us. Also, we were a very rebellious generation and often did thing just to shock people.

Wherever we grew up, most of my generation didn’t have to worry about

having enough to eat or a roof over our heads. My parents’ generation did. They grew up during the Great Depression, when many people were poor. For this reason, my parents didn’t have time to analyze their feelings or think about their inner selves. They were too busy trying to get by. Children of my generation were well taken care of by their parents. Because of that, we had time to think about ourselves and our place in the universe. As adults, many of us have continued to be self-absorbed. We join health clubs to be prefect in body and go into therapy to be perfect in mind.

When I think about our actions, it seems that my parents’ generation is more “outer” directed and my generation is more “inner directed.”
