Stop Generational Comparison

A lot of people compare generation now to their past generations, and I often hear people say "Back in my day, we didn't do this and we didn't do that"

I understand that there are things that people from past generations probably don't like about today's generation, but generational comparison is not going to change anything, or at least, not to everything that probably older generations expect. I'm not putting hate on anyone, but I'm just saying that generations change and there's nothing we can do about that

My question is, why do some people compare generations? Generations change, and there are things that happened in past generations that don't happen in today's generation. Please stop comparing generations because past generations is different from present generation

OK. Not to dismiss what you're saying but when that takes places it's most often around mistakes we've made as a society or dramatic shifts. I highly doubt anyone who is older is realistically thinking there will be a return to the "good 'ol days" People compare generations because the differences are stark. If you knew life before the internet you'd make the comparison too. It changed the game.

But there are some constants that intrinsically exist with maturation..

One is 18-21 year olds telling older people they're not understood. Or that older people just don't get it. Nah. We get it. You will too when you're older and an 18 year old tells you the way things are or how they should be. That's how humans roll. It's always happened and it always will. 👍
