Cultural Transition and its Demands for Inter-Generational Relations

The mutual interaction of structural and value forces in Iran’s modern society has created a new situation for the transitional experience towards adulthood and the relation among generations. Developments, and individualization are among the major fields leading towards non-standardization and unrelated transitions.The present article surveys the demands of change and evolution during the experience of transition process and its effects on the power relationship of youth with their families, their increased tendency for capturing independence, democratizing the family relations and mutual socialization based on the researcher’s experimental studies about culture and sub-cultural issues of the Iranian youth. The researcher has also relied on recent national surveys and studies. The major reasoning of this essay is to express that the experience of mutual generational of youth in family and greater communities shows consistency and unity rather than the so-called generational gap and detachment. And although the forces directing it are increasingly influenced by the evolutionary cultural and value circumstances, it is still dependent on the structural and fundamental forces such as class, gender and the living place.
