Intergenerational Solid aity and Conflict

چکیده
Judging from certain mass media two representations of intergenerational relations between adult children and parents seem to emerge: They are either in a state of permanent unsolvable conflict, or they have as little contacts as possible. The cover of an issue of the German magazine "spiegel-Special" on generations is a good example of the first assumption. "Generations in Conflict" appears in large letters, and "Young against Old-Youth Mania and Hatred of the Old-Crime: Beating instead of Caring." These catchwords are adorned with a photo of a sinister old man looking down at a young blond man wearing a dog collar who is shouting up at him.
