ABSTRACT

In communities, inter-generational conflict is a common root for friction and dispute between people in society. This generation may give importance to sexism, racism, and other issues which are considered  “taboo”, to the older generations, and hence, conflict may arise. They are adapted and used to one particular  type of system, and some changes might disturb their view of a particular thing. So, what is inter-generational conflict? It is the difference of opinion between two generations, which can be called a clash between parents, children, or two individuals from different generations, over culture/ethics, or norms. This can also occur in  the workplace where older employees oppress younger employees, or employees who have worked longer  than newer employees tend to have a better overview of what should be done. Basically, one generation tries to convince the other to follow the social norms created by them. Cultural gap: behaviour, education, religion,

etc contribute to inter-generational conflict. But violence, is sometimes the result in many cases where one physically/mentally supress the other in order to get their way, which is wrong and must be talked about.

Keywords: Inter-generational conflict, racism, sexism, clash, workplace, education, cultural gap, behaviour, religion, older generation, younger generation, perspective, respect.
