Khoảng cách thế hệ

        Mọi người hay nói về khoảng cách thế hệ như một sự chia rẽ những người trẻ và cha mẹ họ. Nhìn chung đó là một vấn đề khi trẻ em bước vào độ tuổi thiếu niên, và gây nên than phiền ở cả hai phía. Ví dụ, các bậc phụ huynh hay nói người trẻ tuổi bất kính và không vâng lời, ngoài ra còn tiêu xài vô trách nhiệm vì họ không trân trọng giá trị đồng tiền. Thanh thiếu niên, mặt khác, phàn nàn rằng cha mẹ không hiểu họ.

        Vấn đề thực chất là gì? Một lời giải thích nằm ở cách mà xã hội thay đổi. Trong quá khứ, con cái thường chỉ sống theo lối sống của cha mẹ mình. Trong thế giới hiện tại, cha mẹ tham vọng nhiều về con cái của họ vì họ muốn con mình đạt được nhiều hơn những gì mình đã làm được. Vấn đề là con cái không đồng tình với những dự định của cha mẹ. Các thiếu niên cũng trưởng thành ở độ tuổi nhỏ hơn và muốn được tự lập sớm hơn. Mâu thuẫn xảy ra khiến cả hai bên đều chịu buồn phiền.

CUTTING THE APRON STRINGS

 There is substantial evidence that students going off to college have changed over the years. For one thing, studies show that they are emotionally closer to their parents and their parents to them. One thing that means is that they depend on each other more for happiness. It puts a burden on children for parents to use their children as vehicles for their own happiness- although today’s young people seem complicit in this arrangement, perhaps because they’ve known no other way-even if it creates anxiety in the children. That’s one reason parents like to be involved in their children’s college experiences, and colleges have had to devise novel ways of getting parents off campus when they transport their kids to school.

 There’s also evidence that students today seem to be choosing schools with reference to proximity to home. The closer a student is to home, the easier it is to bring the laundry home and to land in your old bed with tea and sympathy when you have the sniffles. And the easier it is for parents to visit you at university whenever the mood strikes. The amount of visiting parents do is far more than in generations past.

 But in a real sense, students don’t really leave their parents behind. Their parents go to college right along with them - in their front pockets. That is, the parents are a speed dial away by cell phone. This, of course, significantly reduces independence. A student doesn’t get the chance to solve minor problems on his own - he just calls Mom or Dad. A student has initial problems getting along with a roommate? A roommate doesn’t do laundry as often as the other roommate wishes? A student gets a C grade on her first paper? Instead of absorbing the negative information and figuring out how to resolve the problem or how to do better, the call gets made to home, where Mom or Dad solves the problem, often by calling the school administration. This kind of behavior is, sadly, commonplace today and is a mark of the lack of coping skills among students because all the lumps and bumps have been taken out of life for them until now.

 In addition to being tethered to parents, incoming freshmen are now very heavily connected by cell phone to classmates from high school, who are presumably at other colleges. So there isn’t the great impetus to mix and venture forth to meet new people, to get out of one’s comfort zone, to get drawn into new experiences, that has traditionally marked the beginning of freshman year. The laws of physics still apply, and it is difficult to be meeting new people and seeking novel experiences while you are talking to your old pals.

It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that children and their parents _________.

A. emotionally need each other 

B. only temporarily depend on each other

C. emotionally and physically depend on each other 

D. eternally depend on each other
