Oh Yi Na/ "They don't connect" Does this reflect the relationship between adults and adolescents today?
Some may argue that the basic interests of adolescents and adults are completely different. Since adults and adolescents grew up in very different environments due to globalisation rapidly changing the times we are living in, they tend to have different lifestyles and interests. What seem to interest an adult may seem boring to an adolescent. For example, teenagers are more likely to listen to pop music while adults prefer the oldies. Also, adults who are mostly working full-time may be trying to earn as much money as they can while adolescents, on the other hand are mainly studying hard trying to get a good job in the future. This may result in them not being able to relate to one another since both groups of people are in different fields of area acheiving success. However, adults and adolescents still connect as they depend on the support of others to gain success. Adolescents still need to rely on adults for emotional and financial support to acheive success academically. Adults would regard adolescents as a source of motivation to work hard towards success. For example, parents are usually slogging their heads out day and night so as to provide the best for their children. Therefore, even though some may argue that the basic interets of adolescents and adults may differ, they still connect in the sense that at the end of the day, they would still need to reply on one another or even others for support to lead them to success.
