Mcmcha, If I were a prof. and was told to grade your essay, I would surely give you an A+. Your writing skills are beautiful and I think you should surely write more pieces. Maybe something creative?

Having said that, lets get to the issue that you have raised. I would say this is an issue the people of our generation face, mainly because we are the sandwich generation. Our generation is facing rapid cultural change, and our thoughts and ideas clash highly with that of our parents because of their values which differ from ours. And we ask what shall we do?

Well that is an answer that changes from people to people. Some believe that they should go against these medieval beliefs and some believe that they should abide by their parent's wishes no matter what. I do not think we should give away our life, but I also do not believe that we should put our parents in depression for own happiness. So what is the solution? Beats me!!
