Present Generation:
Present Generation is typically impatient, independent, ambitious, fast and furious. It is the product of cut throat competition. More people are chasing fewer opportunities, be it an admission to engineering or medical college, admission to a foreign university, getting a job in a well known company etc. etc.
Impatience is the result of deadlines. I have to do this before someone else does the same thing. At job, boss says “I want this, NOWâ€. When this goes deeper, it becomes part of his personality. He expects speed from every one, be it his wife, children or even friends. This sometimes affects their interpersonal relationship. To achieve this speed, they could dilute their ethics. The END assumes more importance than MEANS.
Higher education leads them to join a different kind of work, instead of joining existing family business. This gives them financial INDEPENDENCE, which leads to several other kinds of Independence. This independence creates some distance from his parents, some time even without his realisation.
While it is good to be ambitious, but when they fail to achieve what they want they become either vindictive or depressed. Both these are bad traits. Some time their physical health is affected. Their relations with people, who are more successful, are strained out of jealousy. They lose social life and become lonely.
