Ursus Wehrli's Ability To Keep Getting Divided

A great addition to the American dream would be the ability to live in rich and with love from people of all different races, backgrounds, and ages. As race and culture are two huge aspects, they are very slowly coming together however, age seems to keep getting divided. Imagine a world where different people from different generations are able to not just co-exist, but live with love, respect, and understanding towards the generations ahead and behind them; where the differences of politics, technology, and the economy can bring us together instead of pulling us apart.
However, generations seem to be growing apart as we progress in our world. As trends and technology evolve, it seems as though generations aren’t concerned with attempting

Though, the faster we develop, the faster we seem to drift apart. A quote by Ursus Wehrli offers us a bit of insight on how to deal with the issue, he says, “I like to turn things upside down, to watch pictures and situations form another perspective.” Implementing Wehrli’s words to finding the root of generational divides, leads us to understand that growing up in different climates often gives you a different outlook and reaction to life. One who lived through an event such as WWI may act and respond differently from someone who was born in the year of 2000 simply due to the mindset and actions they were taught when growing up. In fact, an article form Forbs states, “Understanding the differences among these generations, what motivates them and how they define themselves is critical…” (Petro, 2017) proves my point. As people, our actions, thoughts, and beliefs, are shaped by our experiences; therefore, what causes us to be different are the experiences we go through. Generations have many similar traits and beliefs because they go through similar situations at or around the same age. What divides us is the way that one generation deals with a situation, is strange to the

I have defined four step solution that takes a lot of effort: Actualization, Conversation, Listening, Understanding, and Acceptance. Actualization that there is in fact a divide. In a book called The Generational Gap: A Review and Typology of Social-Psychological Perspectives, the writer asks a few questions to bring to actualization of the problem. He asks, “Has the gap always been there; has it always been as wide as it is today? What factors lead to the conflict being more pervasive at some periods in history than in others? Is such conflict the result, or the cause, of rapid social change?” (Benston, 1970). Once we define whether a real problem exists we then have to conversations about the existence of it. I firmly believe that we cannot change our attitude or outlook about a situation, if we only see it from our perspective. Changing our perspective can only be done if we are listening during the conversations we have with others. Lastly, we must be willing to understand and accept what the other side is saying. That doesn’t mean we have to agree, we just have to listen to understand and accept that the other generation doesn’t process thoughts and ideology the way others
