In many countries insufficient respect is shown to older people. What do you think may be the reason for this? What problems might this cause in society?

Senior citizens are the backbone of every

society

.

Therefore

, there is no doubt the elder people should get their

respect

in every

country

. But,

this

is not the present scenario.

In contrast

with the past, senior citizens are treated very rudely, almost in every

country

. There are many reasons why senior people are not getting their adequate

respect

and attention. But the most important reason is career aspirations. Nowadays, young

generation

is more careers oriented. That means people are spending more and more time towards their aspirations, where they are closely involved with their job, study and business. Many times, these people are required to travel out of their city and

country

, for their work.

Therefore

, the work balance is not healthy enough for

this

generation

.

On the other hand

, due to

this

busy lifestyle young people are losing their culture are unknowingly they are neglecting older people.

Secondly

, today’s people think

elder

advanced in years; ('aged' is pronounced as two syllables)

older

people are back dated.

Hence

, a healthy interaction between these two generations is very tiny. Due to

this

generation

gap, young people think older people are not going to understand modern thinking.

Subsequently

, the attachment is getting thinner and as an outcome, young people are behaving in a sarcastic way with the older

generation

. Undoubtedly, the

society

is encountering many issues due to our negligence towards elder members of our

society

. Primarily, due to insufficient

respect

and lack of attention, maximum elder members are counting their days in old age homes.

Therefore

, we are losing our family bonding.

Additionally

, joint families are divided into nuclear families.

Secondly

, our

next

generations are not getting the love and affection from their grandparents. And

subsequently

, we are losing out culture and customs.

For instance

, I have spent much healthy time with my grandparents and they make me aware about our cultural values and customs. Whereas, our

next

generations don’t have the opportunity to spend quality time with their grandparents.

Hence

, they have to sacrifice valuable moments. To recapitulate, in every family, we

respect

our senior members due to their contribution and unconditional support. The same way, we should

respect

senior members of our

country

, for their enormous contribution towards the nation.

Hence

, we should pay attention towards elder members of our

society

.

On the other hand

, we should provide an opportunity for our younger members

to spend

Suggestion

spend

happy moments with their grandparents.
