he 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 acceptable.They sometimes have a hard time accepting 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 communities where people knew each other"s families.Fitting in meant that you had to act a certain way.Many of my generation grew up in loosely knit communities,where we only knew about our closest neighbors.We didn"t care what the rest of the community thought of us.Also,we were a very rebellious generation and often did things just to shock people.
