Imre Tóth [Emerico] is an Hungarian painter. Speaking about this interesting artist and at the same time painter whose name we are going to keep in our minds and whose name is Emerico Toth as you remember we should state the words of the artist himself about his own paintings and here is the sentences which he says: “I love beauty in all things. Nature, design, the female: smile, eyes, fit body, perky breasts, and animals, domestic and wild life”.

"Encontro das Aguas" - The Meeting of the Waters - a spectacular phenomenon just off Manaus, the capital city of Amazonas, a state in the northwest of Brazil. For at least 3 miles, there is a clear demarcation as the dark waters of the Rio Negro flow alongside the sandy colored waters of the Rio Solimoes swirling around at the center in some slow dance but never mixing. In ATC too, there is a similar dance called intergenerational conflict. NASA MISR image of the confluence of the 2 rivers, Manaus is the grey-white patch Last week 10 controllers from around the world were asked the following question:- Do you think that a generation gap exists in ATC and why Yes/No? How would you have answered? Reflect for a moment on the members of your work group/team/shift, other groups and the staff of management. How many generations can you identify? Which of your managers are Traditionalists, born before 1945? Are there any managers who are Baby Boomers, born between 1945-1964? How many trainers are Generation Xers, born between 1965-1979? The controller who relieved you from your position this morning, is she a Millenial, born between 1980-1994? And the assistant controllers who just started training, how many of them are from the Linkster generation, (Johnson & Johnson, 2012) born in 1995? 5 generations, working side by side, swirling but never mixing like our Brazilian counterparts. The work climate is certainly ripe for intergenerational differences (Deyoe and Fox, 2011)! Does the phenomenon of the Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes teach us anything about intergenerational conflict? The reasons proffered for the cordial relations between the 2 rivers are the temperature, density, pH and the velocity rate of flow. We have the warmer, crystalline, more acidic, dark brown to almost black waters of the Rio Negro lazily meandering along the rippling, cooler, sand colored waters of the River Solimoes. There is a fifth reason. They originate from different sources, the Rio Solimoes comes from the Peruvian, Andes Mountains situated on the left and the Rio Negro comes from the Venezuelan, Orinoco watershed on the right. They come from the left and the right to a confluence at a central location, just as ATCOs coming from different generations; with different value systems and outlook on life, shaped according to the era in which they were born, converge at a unit for the purpose of ATC. What does it feel like to be working alongside different generations? Murat from Turkey, a Generation Xer and a team leader answers in the affirmative, that a generation gap does exist. He observed that the younger generations are not interested in the whole aspect of ATC operations. They do not understand what it means to be part of a team, that the team has a soul of its own. "They are only concerned with what they need to do and nothing more", he says. "There is no caring, no empathy and no sympathy." Francis from Trinidad, a Baby Boomer, retired controller and part time instructor also agreed that a generation gap is present in ATC. He admires the techno savy of the younger generations and the amazing speed with which they learn to do ATC but he laments that they "lack the wit [and the wisdom] to recognize that they are providing a service and included in that service is developing the ability to make the pilots feel comfortable". Nicolas is from Cyprus, another Baby Boomer and Air Transport Counsellor at the European Union Office in Brussels. He too, responds positively like Francis and Murat. What was his observation? "As in all other professions such as pilots, teachers, doctors, even footballers...nowadays, the main motive is not anymore the love and affection for the profession itself but the motive of remuneration and prospects." Which of the above statements do you agree with? Nicolas mentions that the generation gap is present in other professions. In February 2011, a survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) revealed that 72% of the 434 HR professionals identified intergenerational conflict as a workplace problem (Gale, 2012). Notice, it is not the problem of hiring younger generations and they alone are not culpable of causing tense situations at work. They have been observing the older generations and they too would like to share their sentiments. In tomorrow's post; (I am making up for my weekend absence), we will consider the situation from the perspective of the younger generations and we will consider some practical ways in which we can bridge the generation gap.

Austrian-Irish artist Gottfried Helnwein, who presides between Ireland and Los Angeles, is vocal about his concerns relating to violence in modern society; in action movie and video games, the hero carries the biggest and baddest weapons, while in real life, people have been brutally killed in mass murders like the Holocaust, and in recent years, children have gone to school and been shot by other children. "For me, painting is just a way to strike back and force people to look at that. That's my response to it," Helnwein says in a new documentary about his work.
