I examined someone that was above 20 years older than I was for answers regarding to what life was back in the person’s generation. The main purpose is to discover any similarities or differences to the person’s culture, attitude and behaviour as he or she grew up compared to the current generation now.
The person I examined was my uncle named Terry Chou. I knew Terry back when I was around my teens when my dad introduced me to him during the summer.

It seems like living in that past was quite outgoing in means of choosing what path to earn a living. On the other hand, I feel like I am bound to a fixed society where we have to go to school and get multiple degrees to survive in life. Terry told me that he felt motivated during his time in China but now he is struggling through financial issues living in Toronto. Financial issues were the cause of Terry and Yun’s divorce. Terry is quite overwhelmed how difficult it was living now than before. The worldwide economy has improved throughout each generation but the cost of living increased dramatically. Terry does not have any practical skills to earn a well pay. He works as a
