Generations of Difference – Asymmetric Senses of Reality and the Cultural Continuums
As the person is born to the state the world is in as it is, the knowledge she will begin to obtain to the blank slates of her awareness beyond the innate information is in relativity with such conditions. The nature as it is has nothing but the given values to them, as for example a lightning most certainly will not act in accordance by the consciously valuated values given to it, but in accordance with its own nature independent from the values given to it. Or if someone were to be afraid of the thunder storm, it is most certainly not the determination of the storm to cause to the sensations of being scared from it, but the emotions and content associated to the storm by the sub-conscious content generative cycle is what makes the thunder storm to be for example either a majestic sensation of power or something to be afraid of. Why? Just as when you listen to music, you are able to recognize human characteristics and parts of emotional life from the music itself even if it did not have lyrics of any kind, similarly the conscious mind receives interpreted content of the environment, constructed from the units of information in the memory systems and the innate units of information.
Now, as the nature is given values that represent the semantic content of them to enable the understanding of them as such as they are defined as, so are different types of behavior given different values. Just as everyone becomes conditioned through education to later intuitively know that it is because gravity that a feather falls to the ground, what will be intuitively associated to behavior through the conditioning properties of knowledge functions similarly, or as an example of more typical conditioning, the anger of mother or father will follow the action A, and thus the action B is conducted even if mother or father was not around.
As taking these factors to note, that how much a difference there is in a world between two decades of development as starting points for the natural conditioning process a part of adaptation to make its effect on the sense of reality, what opportunities it presents and how human characteristics are valuated as, the perception of the generation gap becomes more understandable. If we presented behavior that is in relativity with representations that in themselves are behavioral values, and named such conduction of actions as value-relative behavior, such values internalized two decades ago as natural and accepted human behavior would inevitably be different in semantic content. Thus, if there are differences in the semantic content of values, they are asymmetric, and the more difference there is between the two frames of values in internal complexity, the more asymmetric they are, thus associating intuitively different content to same observed behavior as parallel perceptions.
