Free Thinking Special
A debate from the 2008 Free Thinking Festival where Matthew Sweet and two guests - one teenager and one octagenarian - try to draw up a manifesto to bridge the generation gap.
As part of Radio 3's 2008 Free Thinking festival in Liverpool, Matthew Sweet chairs a discussion in front of an audience on bridging the generation gap.
He considers evidence gathered by two members of the public - a senior citizen and a teenager - who were sent out to discover what each of their generations would like to say to the other. Does a 16-year-old in Britain have more in common than a fellow 16-year-old in China than they do with octagenarians in their own country? And is the chasm over such issues as privacy, language, technology and sex now simply too large to be bridged?
