The generation gap speaks on differences of outlook or opinion between people of different backgrounds relating to age and environment. This podcast concentrates on these generational differences. We focused on highlighting disparities and changes amongst generations such as technology, differences in career advancements, upbringing, discipline, decision making, parental pressures and conforming to societal norms. We also found that with all these differences, there are also still so many similarities. Although older generations may not believe so, younger generations are passionate about keeping cultural customs and family traditions in high regard. To highlight a pivotal part of this podcast, one interviewee states “We use our past to pave our future”. Please join us in diving deep into the controversial subjects discussed across generations and backgrounds in our efforts to bridge the generation gap.
