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.
