I am a former teacher, published author, and blogger with a background and training in media, having worked in advertising, public relations, documentary film making, and feature journalism.

Two personal incidents in 2013 brought home to me the shattering distance and disconnect that exists between generations all over the world today. There is an impression that the generation gap is just one of those things. Today, it has the potential to cause parental alienation, mental sickness, and in extreme cases, loss of life.
