The debate about the differences between today's youth and the previous generation always remains relevant.
Old traditions and habits that do not let us go can cause conflicts and misunderstandings.
It is important to find a balance between preserving the values of the past and accepting new approaches in order to respect each other’s experiences and build the future together.
"It will come in handy around the house"
The older generation tends to save any thing, thinking that it might be useful in the future, which leads to clutter in the home.
Unlike them, young people prefer to buy quality things and, if something breaks, they throw it away, without accumulating unnecessary junk.
This approach helps to maintain order and get rid of unnecessary items, making life more convenient.
"Say thanks for this too"
Life experience in conditions of scarcity has taught the older generation to appreciate even small joys and be grateful for small victories.
In modern society, young people often demand quality service and products, without stopping at trifles.
This approach sometimes causes misunderstanding among grandparents, who consider them too ambitious and ungrateful.
"We'll buy it today, but you'll save it for later."
In the past, people were accustomed to buying things in advance, "for growth", in order to provide themselves with what they needed in the future. However, this often led to the fact that children did not have time to wear out or outgrow these purchases.
Modern mothers are more flexible in this matter, they know how to save money and alter clothes to extend their service life.
They also prefer not to stock up for many years ahead, given the unpredictability of children's growth.
"If it meets GOST standards, then it's good"
Previously, GOSTs were a symbol of quality, ensuring product standards. Now, manufacturers themselves set standards, not always in the interests of the consumer.
The older generation still believes in the quality of goods marked “GOST”, while the youth realizes that not all GOST standards are equal.
"It's a sign"
Many signs and superstitions have their roots in ancient times, when science was less developed.
The older generation still adheres to superstitions, while the youth are more skeptical and demand scientific explanations.
