184 Words1 Page

I agree with the writers that people identify problems related to culture and intergenerational communications.

No one, any age group deserves the condensing tone to be used in conversation. It is disrespectful and humiliating. According to the CPA Model, (The Communication Predicament of Aging Model, "takes the idea of over accommodation and extends it into a broader picture of the causes and consequences of bad intergenerational communication (Hummert, Garstka, Ryan, & Bonnesen, 2004; Ryan, Giles, Bartolucci, & Henwood, 1986)."
