GENERATION GAP

Life isn’t easy at all, especially for teenagers. Teens pass trough different periods during their development, and these periods are determined by changes of mood, by a flow of conflicts (inner, social), but the most frequent are the family conflicts, called as well generation gap, that means also : the difference in the attitude, priorities, and views among generations. Thus, this generation gap has always been there but these days it has reached to an explosive stage, so as, the values and patterns of life have changed to a great extent. Likewise, today, everybody likes to live and behave in his own way, to be left by his own, to be free. This attitude has widened the generation gap. It is now destroying family life . The elders look after the children and make all sorts of sacrifices to bring them up. Naturally, they feel they have a right over them. As a result, they want their children to follow their instructions as they have certain expectations from them. But the children, when they grow up, want a complete freedom in their thoughts and actions and unfortunately their thoughts and actions are just opposite to those expected by the elders. They revolt when any kind of restrictions are imposed on them. Consequently, some families break up and everything may get ruined. At the same time, the complexities of life are rising every decade, and problems intensify mainly when parents forget how did they behave, what problems did they encounter and what feelings did they have when they were children, especially teenagers. For otherwise ,when the teens enter the stormy problem of generation gap , it comes out with greater intensity than ever. For them, at this age, their friends suddenly become important , and they try to ignore parents. On the contrary, there are parents that ignore teens because of work problems, or personal ones. And eventually, parents or teens get mad, because they suffer from lack of affection. This causes great anxiety to parents and the misunderstandings increase between the children and the parents. The technological advances play a great rule in enlarging the gap as the younger generations are quicker to accept and adopt these technologies , so that, they consider the elders of their families very old fashioned in their tastes, opinions and out looks toward life. On the other hand, the older people don’t like the modern values which they call the " internet" and "globalization" values. They consider the young generation shallow, lacking knowledge and moral depth. This difference can best be seen in the difference of interests and hobbies. To sum up, conflicts between generations will always exist, and the gap is getting bigger because of the modernization, because of the technology , and the appearance of new interests and values. The desire of freedom is developing every year, as a result, the problems and complexities of life intensifies also. There are parents that ignore their children and children that ignore their parents, and that leads to misunderstands and quarrels….Even if we can not make the generation gap disappear, we can reduce it’s depth by communication and going out on vacations together , watching movies or by evening family outings...

NECESSITY OF GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS

It is obvious that this question clicks in your mind as, Throughout human history government has been the source of great injustices and repression, not to mention being MASSIVE sources of ineffciency, so why indeed do we put up with them?
The answer is that the absence of government is a state called anarchy, and anarchy sucks worse than a bad government. This absence of government is not a state of freedom, but a state of oppression where one's oppressors are every other citizen. There are no property rights, no limits on crime except for the physical limits. If someone is strong enough (either individually or as a group) to take your property or life, or even take you into bondage and force you to work for them, then they can and often WILL do so.
In places where anarchy reigns, economies do not function because there is no incentive to work to produce anything since it will just be stolen from you as soon as you produce it. Anarchy thus causes rampnat poverty, though one can also say that rampant poverty weakens the government, thereby making anarchy more likely.
So we need some degree of government to prevent this state. A just and free government will only do as much governing as is necessary to create the Rule of Law, but few governments stop there. By their very nature they are power magnets and tend to attract ambitious people who wish to expand the power they wield.
Politics is the process of managing the government to decide what it should do and how it should do it. This is important because government is so powerful it can very easily be misused by those ambitious people I spoke of. It is the classic double-edged sword, necessary, yet dangerous to the wielder as well as the problem against which it is wielded
