REFLECTION 2

‘Which changes in traditional values could contribute to a generation gap?’ I think

there are so many reasons of generation gap.First of all is advancing technology. We youth

are living with smart phones and mini computers, but old generation didn’t have so many

technological devices, so they can’t follow the new technology as much as youth.The other

reason is differences in language using. New generation uses some new vocabularies and they

reproduce some vocabularies, so old generation has difficulty to understand them. Like new

generation, old generation has some vocabularies from old time, so we can’t understand them

sometimes,too. Last and most important reason is cahanging cultural conditions. Today the

culture is so diffeerent from old culture. Now our society is much more free than old society.

We started to lose our cultural values. To conclude with the changing conditions, gap between

old and new generation is increasing and I think this gap will be more than today in our old

age.

REFLECTION

I want to reply this question ‘What are the reasons for the increasing intrest in beauty’ in this

paragraph. We know that a first impression is one of the most important things in our life. It

has an immense impact on our relationships with others. First of all, if a person is happy

aboout her/his apparance, he/she has self-confidence and can be active in society. This can be

controversial, but our apparances can reflect our values, personalities and even our

perspectives about life. Therefore sometimes we need to use some beauty products and plastic

surgeries. Another reason fort he increasing interest in beauty can be people that we see on

television. Nowadays we usually compare ourselves with those famous people , and we want

to look like them. We want to seem perfect because we think if we seem perfect to others, we

can be more prestigious among the people. Unfortunately, because of the increasing interest

in beauty there is a huge disparity between people seem different. For example in a job

interview, a person that has a good apparance can be more advantageous than a person that

seems bad. Concidering all of these, I think people have right reasons fort his increasing

interest in beauty, and it will be more important in the future.
