Nothing new

The cleavage between the generations is no new thing - it seems to have been part and parcel of life all through history.

"The world is passing through troublous times.
The young people of today think of nothing but themselves.
They have no reverence for parents or old age.
They are impatient of all restraint.
They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them.
As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress."

This was not written today but is from a sermon preached by Peter the Hermit in 1274!
