i agree that it's important to consider people as individuals. oh the other hand, i know from my own experience that the generation gap is real. my definitely see the world in a different way from me. they expect to get everything they want, and they expect to work less for it.
i think we have to agree to disagree, Marie! with my children, i complain about the same things that my parents did with me, but there's also a big difference in values between my children's generation and mine. the world has changed, with it. for example, i think technology has made people lazier. hard word and family are important to me, and i worry that my kids don't share those values.
