Between the times we are born to the becoming adults, we will form powerful core values. These values will be influenced by our families, educators, peers, etc. Each generation has different values, ideas, ways of getting things done, and preferences in the way they communicate the above. Note the use of the word different. There are two methods and messages to someone who is different from you generationally speaking:
- DIFFERENT; therefore WRONG.
- NOT WRONG; just DIFFERENT.
Each choice has its own results.
