  How many times have you and your parents fought over little issues on a regular basis?  The generation gap is best described by the different perspectives, philosophies, life experiences, and preferences between our parents and ourselves. It becomes difficult to understand one another because of this divide. A younger person tends to regard it as commonplace, whereas an older person tends to show a critical judgment on some level.  Age is a significant factor in the natural generation difference.

In India, gender disparity leads to unequal chances, and while it affects both genders' lives, statistically speaking, females are more disadvantaged than boys. In the world, females have greater survival rates at birth, are more likely to have a healthy development, and are just as likely to attend preschool as boys, yet India is the only developed nation where girls die at a higher rate than boys. Additionally, girls are more prone to leave school early. In India, adolescence is not the same for boys and girls. Girls typically confr...
