LIVE FOR THE SAKE OF THE OLD!

Think that your life is controlled or shaped by the old people’s decision, what would you feel? Are you bored or enjoyed while someone deciding instead of you? I think it would be boring because life conditions are always changing. While life is changing, there are some problems or issues that older and younger generations disagree on.
Firstly, older generation think that they know best. They want the younger generation to benefit from all of their ideas, life experiences. Of course, there are some issues that we need their experiences urgently but not every time or in everywhere. Because the young are different from they were it is not possible to live like them. For example; in the period of the old, they had more strict rules to obey like office hours. But now it is known that if people are given more freedom, they will be more effective in the working area.
Secondly, younger generation think that the old should not give advice to them. As life conditions changed, life-style of the old is not suitable for today’s world. Even, the young believe that the old should ask advice from the young because their experiences do not work in today’s world. They think that so far older generation’s advices, life experiences and material based thoughts haven’t been effective to solve the problems so; it is the turn of the younger generation and their advices.
Finally, the old and the young‘s point of view is different from each other. Something was wrong in the past can be true today. For instance; now, enjoyment is the most normal and common necessity but in the past it was regarded as a sin. Because in today’s world there are not so much restrictions, it is easier to enjoy the life than the past.
In conclusion, as the young are more educated and have more freedom, they are more independent while expressing their ideas. They have more self-confidence and they can resist to any problem easily. So, the young know best and they should live for themselves not for the sake of the any other people.
