(18)__________ to refer to differences between generations that cause conflict and complicate communication, creating a "gap." Word maven William Safire provides a more positive definition: "Generation gap can be a frustrating lack of communication between young and old or a useful stretch of time that separates cultures within a society, allowing them to develop their own character." From their
position in the family, and (19)__________, grandparents are uniquely poised to see that differences between generations can be positive for all those concerned. (20)__________, the drastic differences that the term implies were not much in evidence until the 20th century. Before that time, society was not very mobile. Young people typically lived near their extended families, worshiped in their childhood churches, and often worked on the family farm or in a family business. With the advent of television and movies, young people were exposed to (21)________ alien to their own families and cultures. Performers like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and James Dean won adulation from the younger generation but often were met with derogation from the older generation. Then came the 1960s, and civil rights and the Vietnam War exposed a more serious chasm between young and old. Today, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive. That is partly (22)________. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults. Slightly behind these areas of difference are attitudes toward different races and groups, moral values, religious beliefs, respect (23)________, political views, and work ethic.

Authors David Buckingham and Rebekah Willett penned a book, “Digital Generations,” that hones in on this premise and explores both the dangers and opportunities technology holds for these generations.

My brother and my father, in particular, often assume opposite stances. My brother, an artistic Jazz Studies major, contrasts sharply with my pragmatic, scientifically-minded father. Their taste in music highlights their differences. My brother loves soulful music, while my father, lacking musical talent, prefers "muzak." This clash is most evident during long car trips, where compromises between Mantovani and other music are often necessary, though my father, who usually controls the car, often prevails. Another humorous difference is their hairstyles. My brother sports long hair, while my father prefers it short, reminiscent of his conservative upbringing in a small West Virginia mining town during the fifties. This difference symbolizes the broader contrast in their opinions. Growing up in the fifties, my father sought a different life from his coal miner father. Excelling in math and science, he earned a Ph.D in physics to ensure a better standard of living for his family. My brother, however, grew up in a more open era, exposed to diverse opinions and encouraged to pursue his passion for music despite also being talented in math and science. Despite their differences, my father and brother get along well, appreciating each other's viewpoints. They share interests like fishing and car repairs and enjoy spirited discussions. Their dynamic shows that differences can coexist harmoniously, making life—and long car rides—more interesting.
