the questions.
Family conflicts within immigrant families can arise due to the challenges of adapting to a new
culture, language barriers, and generational differences. Immigrants often face the difficult task of
reconciling their native customs and traditions with those of the host country, while their children may
adopt the values and practices of their new surroundings.
One source of conflict stems from the fight between traditional values and the desire for
adaptation. Parents may hold the customs and beliefs of their homeland, while their children strive to
conform to the norms of their new society. This can lead to misunderstandings, disagreements, and a
sense of cultural disconnection within the family.
Language barriers also contribute to family conflicts. Parents who are less proficient in the host
country’s language may struggle to communicate effectively with their children, resulting in
misinterpretations and frustrations on both sides. This can create a divide and hinder the development
of strong familial bonds.
Generational differences further complicate matters. Children growing up in a new cultural
environment may adopt different attitudes, behaviours, and aspirations compared to their parents.
Conflicts may arise when expectations clash, such as in career choices, relationships, or educational
pursuits.
To address these conflicts, open dialogue and mutual respect are vital. Family members should
actively listen and empathise with one another, striving to understand the unique challenges each
individual faces. Cultivating an atmosphere of acceptance and appreciation for both the native and host
cultures can help bridge the gap and foster stronger familial ties.

A. Family Conflicts within Immigrant Families: Why?

B. Language barriers can badly affect familial bonds.
 C. Children in immigrant families may have different opinions in career choices and
relationships from their parents’.

For many years, knowing how to market to Millennials was the hot ticket for most marketers.
Today, advertisers are wrapping their heads around how to reach their younger counterparts, Gen Z -
the generation that often feels like they’re ahead of the rest of us.
While marketers are quickly shifting their attention to each incoming generation, they’re
missing one key insight that’s been bubbling beneath the surface: no generation is the same, but no one
in a generation is the same, either.
People across every generation are defying norms more and more. More single women own
houses than men. Men are going back to college in their 60s. Early-career workers are leading the great
resignation rather than taking whatever job they can get after college. Women are delaying having
children. And the list goes on.
The truth is, people are “growing up” at different rates or redefining what it means to grow in
the first place. This variation inside generations creates a challenge for marketers, how do you market
to changing peer groups?
Avoid ageism in your marketing
While this insight might sound obvious, it’s not obviously put into practice in marketing. For
instance, one study found that “variation in ageing successfully or in lifestyles is not promoted in
advertising.” Another survey from AARP found that 69% of consumers ages 50 and older say media
images are ageist. This could affect younger groups, too. New research suggests ‘acute’ ageism could
be an even bigger problem for younger cohorts.
Make your language more inclusive
How you refer to age groups or generations could keep customers (or top talent) away. Whether
it’s women reentering the workforce or retired professionals seeking returnships, these individuals want
to go where they’ll feel like they belong. And since your employees are a reflection of your company,
one way to combat this is how you speak internally.
