The_Elderly_And_Modernization

The Elderly And Modernization It is amazing how modernization and urbanization has had such a strong effect on the veneration of the elderly. Before the decline of veneration of the aged, the elderly were held in very high esteem. The aged in society were given much respect. They were often the ones from which the younger generations received their knowledge. The aged were held in such high esteem that they dominated extended families, they communicated community traditions, and clothes were even designed to represent them. Regardless of modernization, the elderly should always be held in high esteem because they have lived for many years and earned the right to receive respect from all. Another reason why the aged should always be held in high esteem is because of their knowledge and wisdom. It is often thought that older people are less knowledgeable because they don’t know how to work modern day technology. Regardless of what new technologies have or are being created; just because one is able to work a computer doesn’t meant that they have true knowledge or wisdom. Wisdom comes from the experiences that you have encountered throughout life.
