As the time passes by, people who used to be young and energetic, are becoming old and weak, which
also
increasing the numbers of older people. Some believe that these people are just a burden on the society while the other believes that
such
old- age people can play a vital role in reshaping the society, morally and culturally. In
this
essay I will address both of the points and will give my perception of it. Some people claim that the increasing quantity of older people will make a country over crowded and doesn't help to build the economy as well, because they got retired from their respective jobs and now just earning pensions from the Government, which could have been spent in building the economy and other requirements of young generation more efficiently.
Furthermore
, they
also
believe that
such
people will not let the community and the mindset of young generations grow, as they got stuck with their old beliefs and cultures. They don't let their children or grandchildren to think of their own and decide their future by themselves according to their experience, which may not help in
this
era
additionally
, they are lacking behind in the use of various technologies and don't prefer to accept the change, which technologies bring.
However
, masses
also
believe
in contrast
of all other people that, these people may reshape the public, which has gone into wrong path, as many children use to live with their grandparents and their lifestyles greatly impact the way of living for kids in their future
subsequently
, they may get a plethora of useful skills from their grandparent's experiences and can learn from their mistakes in life like i usually take advices form my grandmother on various issues of my life, which really helped me in those problems, another advantage of having grandparents is that they may
also
keep a greater check on their grandchildren when their parents are busy in their work. To conclude, I believe that having old people in
this
society is a blessing for young generations like us, because we can share our problems and can get advice from their experiences, regarding the life of today's world.
