...It seems that old generations are of relatively conservative and traditional opinions towards the way of thinking and behaviors in modern society. Under such circumstances, some people voice doubt about the validity of ideas from the aged. While others assume that their points of views are still beneficial for the young to fit in the future life. As for me, I believe that the values of the old have its justification and we can properly follow their advices. In view of some people, the ideas held by old generations appear to be outdated and don’t satisfy well with the modern life. The advance of society have made our life experience a great difference, so too do people’s values. For example, the old people pursue a casual and peaceful way of life. While in contrast, young people are living in an environment where life has a quick rhythm. For this reason, these people purpose those traditional ideas should not be highly recommended. However, I am of the opinion that old people’s traditional ideas which withstood the test of time are worth learning. The old tend to have better general knowledge of the world, broader view of live and better personal resources to draw on. When it comes to dealing with some daily difficulties, their ways of thinking, more often than not, is the right path to solve problems. It is fair to say old generations have such qualifications to give Monday, September 6, 2010 Old generations often hold some traditional ideas on the correct way of life, thinking...

...The generation gap: thinking and communicating towards the same goal “Juvenoia,” or “exaggerated anxiety about the influence of social change on children and youth.", is a term created by sociologist David Finkelhor of the University of New Hampshire to describe the phenomenon of past generations not agreeing with the ideology of youth nowadays. This phenomenon affects the way "older" generations judge the "new" generations and their electronics, political thoughts, decision making skills, in addition to many other factors that up and coming young adults and teenagers are known for. It seems that it is nearly impossible to have a say or opinion in a matter when discussing it with middle-aged adults or senior citizens, just as hard as it is to convince a young adult or teenager to listen to their elders/parents in situations that they have lived before. The thought that any generation is better than the one before or the next is a bit selfish, if I may say....

For middle age people, fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live and the status we create.

Today’s youth is mainly concerned with accessories and apparels but for adults or middle age fashion is a very vast term. This has lot to do in their lives. But fashion do not remains the same; it keeps on changing with the pace of time. And the reason behind this rapid change in fashion is growing number of places to shop with different brands. Fashion is finally catching up to function when it comes to the older people .not many baby boomers want to have an ugly stainless steel grab bar in the beautiful bathroom. Especially for the older adults Canadian builders intended to add more accessible features to their designs. (Harris, 2012) From my point of view women who are interested in today’s widespread fashion are more young women. Fashion is the way to happiness actually, men also integral parts of extracting fashion.

...Review “Having lived for many years: not young” is how Merriam-Webster defines the word ‘old’ (Merriam-Webster, 2013). If this is what the word old truly does mean, how have we as a society manipulated this definition to portray growing ‘old’ as something to be looked down on? To be old is often times looked at as being incompetent, useless, or pitied. Old does not mean that a person becomes of lesser value; it simply means that they have lived for many years. I know that I have fallen into the category of people that sometimes think negatively toward growing older and elderly people. I have always viewed the elderly as people who don’t really have a place in society, as negative as that sounds. I often think of them as people who can’t do anything because their bodies are old and brittle. I have always assumed that the elderly have reduced physical and mental capacities and then have to live in nursing homes. Although this is true for some, it is definitely not true for all elderly persons. I have also viewed them as being strong in their faith since they really don’t have anything else to do with their lives since they are most likely retired. Throughout this course in my nursing degree and also after reading Nearing Home by Billy Graham, my attitude about the elderly generation has changed dramatically. I would define the word old as being something that has been around for a long time; worn in. I think of someone who is old and imagine how he or she are most likely enjoying...

...Identifying the specific reason why Millennials have the lowest voting turning out rate than any other generation in history has been a question political analyst have been trying to determine for years. Millennials between 18 and 29 years old are approximately 550 million, yet they fail to out number the older generations during elections (Matta and Martin 1). Now, for the upcoming 2016 Presidential Election, it will be the first time the Millennial eligibility voting population will equal that of Baby Boomers. Investigating the reason for the absence of Millennials at the voting polls during the last decade of elections is important because if organized they are capable of having a major influence in shaping the government.

...Shown in recent statistics, is that younger people, who are over 15 (as children under this age are usually forced by parents), do not participate in religious activity as much as the older generation – excluding the over 65s group, this is usually because they cannot get to church easily due to ill-health and disabilities. Brierley supports the idea of an older generation by showing that the average age of church goers in 1979 was 37 which increased to 49 in 2005, clearly showing a trend towards an older congregation. Heelas also found that those involved with the New-Age Movements were mainly middle-aged or older; again supporting the recent trend. Some reasons for why younger generations are less religious are because of the increase in religious diversity and scientific explanations in which young people seek more rational answers for things rather then turning for God for answers. It may also be because of the changes in attitudes surrounding religion such that there is less stigma and pressure attached to attending church than there was previously. However nowadays people can just practice religion at home. The privatised religion of believing without belonging (Davie) does show a reason for why young people participate in religious activity less than older generations but it is because of the fact they can practice privately with the help of media which is needed because of their changing patterns of employment and leisure (Sunday not seen as a ‘holy day’ – businesses...

...modern "New Women” were often described as, “Confident, employed, pleasure seeking, and most of all someone who exercised sexual agency” , almost the complete opposite of the women who came before them. The generation before was seen as “Mrs. Grundy”, which “represented prudery and sacrifice” , whereas flappers were seen as “pleasure and consumption”. Many people within the older generations shared the same ideas of Miss Laurette Taylor when she stated, “Your flapper -if you call her that- can't work or study all day and dance all night and make good at what she works at." Elder generations feared that these women were focused on having fun and not being productive to society. Flappers were less concerned with politics and more focused on social roles of women.

...can get you just as entertained, and you might even be presented for the contrasts in the different generations over the ages. In the in media res opening we are presented to a first-person-narrator whose gender and appearance remains unknown throughout the story. She (or he) is spending a one hour break at a museum with a very clear and simple intent. The plan is to find a great painting centered in the middle of the room where she can sit and study it. But not just any painting (p. 1 lines 4): “It should be already known to me”, is how the text describes it, and indicates that we might be dealing with narrator who is playing safe. George Stubbs painting “Chestnut Horse” is the piece of art she ends up admiring. At first she is alone in the room, but then an elder (p. 1 lines 9) “well-presented” man joins her. He is sitting quietly and observing the painting until a younger boy, which relation to the man we are not presented for, takes the seat next to him. The man in his sixties starts telling the boy about the “Chestnut Horse”, and in this passage the reader is presented for an essential theme in the story; generations gaps. Though our narrator is very interested in the man's speech (p.1 lines 15): “How much I would have liked to know as much as he did, and to share this passion for Stubbs and the horse but only phrases reached me”, it does not takes long before the young boy gets bored and says (p...

...between being old or young has to do with one’s mental outlook, and physical capabilities. Robert Butler (1969) defines ageism as the “systematic stereotyping of and discrimination against people because they are old, just as racism and sexism accomplish this with skin color and gender” (Leon-Guerrero, 2014). This issue of ageism is undoubtedly a social problem, and affects us all differently. The fact that ageism is one of the most socially condoned forms of prejudice against a certain group of people is simply unacceptable (Leon-Guerrero, 2014). Too many people look at the “old generation” is not being fit, or able to take care of themselves, therefore creating a burden among the rest of the “young” generation. I believe it is very dangerous to cast such judgments upon a group of people, particularly the group of individuals who are being condemned as “old.” Negative stereotypes continue to gain acceptance among younger age groups regarding the elderly, consisting of opinions and judgments of the loss of their minds, conservatism, lack of sexual drive, and decrease in productivity (Leon-Guerrero, 2014). This constant chain of events affect us in those around us due to the fact that the younger generation is being objected to the theory that all of these statements regarding the elderly are true, therefore molding their opinion regardless of the facts. Personally, I expect the same types of judgments or discrimination towards me, regarding my aging process and growing old. It is very...
