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

Showing someone

respect

and kindness is a basic ethic, which everyone deserves.

However

, in some countries, young people do not

respect

their

elders

.

This

essay intends to analyse the reasons behind

this

behaviour and the issues it can cause in the community.

To begin

with, I believe parents should develop good manners in their children, where they learn to treat old people with love and

respect

. If they fail to do so, their kids might be disrespectful to their

elders

.

Furthermore

, a sense of compassion and kindness towards the older generation is not being taught in institutions.

For example

, in

western

countries, the young generation becomes independent after 18 years of age, after which they can live alone without the supervision of their parents.

Therefore

,

this

may cause a detachment from their older family members and they forget the significance of having them in their lives, which might

also

cause disrespect among them.

Due to

this

unkind attitude of young blood towards their old family members ,disastrous effects can be seen in the community.

Such

as, they might feel a disconnection from their own children and they might fear for their stay in their homes.

Moreover

, they might even be forced to live in old-age homes where they will feel very lonely and sick

while

missing their offspring.

Hence

, family values will be at risk and old fragile folks would be unsafe with their own kids.

To sum up

, teaching children how to

respect

and be humble with their

elders

is necessary

otherwise

it may put society's norms and values in danger. In my opinion,

elders

are like a history book to the community, as they have lived in times when youngsters could not.

Therefore

, they should be treated as the most sensitive and delicate population of the state.
