The latest thread about age limits got me thinking, with globalization and rapid technological + social change, are people in becoming more distanced by age than by geographically based cultures?

Re: Generation gap vs. Geographical cultural gap
I remember seeing some entertainment exec say a few years back that teenagers from different countries have more in common with each other than they do with their own parents.Originally posted by

Could be true; could be entertainment-biz wishful thinking. But
1) if it's true, I think it's true only for teens; as people grow up, they enter into their own cultures more fully
2) it may be true within the developed world but, based on my 2 stints living in the developing world, I don't think its true beyond that
3) again based on my limited experience, I think there's a small group of people -- expats -- who, regardless of age or nation of origin, seem to have more in common with each other than they do with anyone from their home countries. That has nothing to do with what you asked; I just thought I'd share.
