Many immigrants come to the United States each year, often in search of a better life for themselves and their children. For first-generation immigrants, life in a new country can be challenging, especially if they do not speak English. They often rely on their children to help them navigate their new environment. The first-generation immigrants' children often quickly assimilate into American culture. It is increasingly difficult for them to maintain the customs from their traditional culture while living in a society in which many of those customs may be outdated. This can create conflict between the parents and children. What accounts for this conflict?

A. an age divide B. a transformational experience C. a generation gap D. a cultural lag
