Children do not respect their parents as much as they did in the past. This behaviour is now having a negative impact on society.’ Discuss.

Nowadays, we are all becoming aware of the fact that children are more disrespectful to their parents compared to the past.

This

behaviour shows the value

that is

given by their parents.

To begin

with, I would like to understand what is “respect” for anyone. It is talking properly or in a manner, listening to them all over the time, or never arguing with them I would

also

like to mention that

this

notion of respect was prevalent with older generations.

For example

, my mother used to narrate that she always has to listen to her mother irrespective of the fact that she believes in it or not. As per her,

this

is her respect towards her mother.

However

,

this

perception stands as a distorted perception among

this

generation. Regarding someone is something

that is

demanded not only by elders but

also

by younger ones as well. In today's era, ‘Respect” is not only open to abiding by what elders say,

instead

, you can give your viewpoint and

hence

agree to disagree.

For instance

, I am open to giving my opinion about what I feel when I talk to my father. I have an environment where I can give my opinion and

hence

take my own decision.

This

is not considered as any act of disrespect. Yet,

this

is considered as a negative impact on the community as the people are stuck with the older perception of appreciation. In conclusion, our community should develop in

such

a way that everyone gets a chance to put their opinion in a respectful tone irrespective of their age.

This

will help to build a better nation where children will automatically learn to give their regard when they receive appreciation.
