All the mighty experience of mankind is based on the continuity of generations, and the strength of each people is to preserve traditions, respect for the elderly and the prospects of youth. But the problem of misunderstanding between children and parents is also equally perennial, reflected both in known literary works and clearly manifested in real life.
How deep is the conflict between the older and the younger generation, and is it limited it is only a dissimilar taste in music, fashion and behavior? In fact, the reasons for the lack of mutual understanding are much more complicated and are explained, as a rule, by the ardent desire of adults to protect children from mistakes and disappointments.
Having their life experience behind them, parents more clearly see the potential dangers confronting a frivolous teenager, more thoughtfully realize the consequences of his wrong behavior in those or other cases. But in every possible way protecting his offspring from the harsh realities of life, adults thereby deprive him of his own experience, substituting him for his own. Whether they act in the interests of good and altruism, or authoritatively impose their decision - the result is one, and disagreements invariably lead to rather acute and long-term conflicts. Of course, it is unfair to blame the situation for adults only, since teenagers, alas, are their hot-tempered disposition and lack of respect can exacerbate relations to the limit, not paying too much attention to the comments of parents and treating them as an unfortunate interference in their own lives.
But the greatest complexity of this sample emy is, perhaps, in its inescapable. After all, even deeply and thoroughly knowing the nature of the conflict, it is hardly possible to reconcile a balanced and judicious older generation with an explosive and disobedient youth.
Омг земляк There are many beautiful towns in our big country, but my native and favorite town is Stavropol. It is very green, because all our city full of high trees, nice bushes and a lot of multicolored flovers. Moreover, there are a lot of new fountains, for example the first new fountain is located on Peshehodnaya Street( Square of Angel). It is very modern and so so beautiful, because the center of our city has never been so admirable, I want to return to this place again and again. Secondly, recently opened the biggest musical fountain in the NCFD. This is very splendid and unusual for our town. It 's located near the innovative museum "Russia is my history". It is a modern museum with many large screens on which information about Russia is presented from ancient times to our time. Also, our government promises to reconstruct our circus and our railway station and I believe that our darling town will be the best place at North Caucasus.
