Abstract

I would like to start this editorial commentary with a quote I read: “The youth of today is spoiled to the root. They are mean, ungodly, and lazy. They will never be like the youth of before and they will never ever be able to hold on to our values”.
 This quote does not come from an article I read in a conservative province newspaper published 2 days ago nor it is part of a political discourse of a right-wing Chilean presidential candidate. This sentence rather is displayed on a Babylonian stone, which has been written more than 3000 years ago. Through the course of time, there has been a phenomenon known as the generation gap. This phenomenon is a popular term used to describe differences in cultural norms between members of a younger generation and their elders.
