冲突与认同：全球化背景下的代际关系

代是一种生物学事实，也是一种社会事实。作为社会事实的“代”或“代际关系”所以会成为问题，和社会学一样，与工业社会或现代性的出现有关——或者干脆说，代问题本质上也是一个现代性问题。进一步，20世纪代问题在全球范围内的扩展，一样是现代工业社会或资本主义体制在世界范围内推进的结果——从这个意义上说，它也是全球化的结果。文章通过对近代以来代问题的出现与加剧的探讨，指出代沟的出现或代际认同的消解，本身就是现代性或全球化的产儿。

Conflict and Reconciliation: Intergenerational Relationships in the Context of Globalization

Generation is both a biological fact and a social fact. That generation or intergenerational relationship as a social fact has become a problem was due to the emergence of industrialized society or modernization or, put it in another way, the generation problem is the problem of modernity. Moreover, that the generation problem got spread all over the world in the twentieth century was also due to industrialized modern society or the capitalist system spreading globe wide. Hence, it is the result of globalization. Through a discussion of the emergence of the generation problem and its acceleration during the modern times, this paper claims that the formation of generational gaps or the reconciliation of intergenerational identities itself is a product of modernity or globalization.
