Attitudes towards old people

Introduction

The aim of this report is to discuss the attitudes young people have towards elder people and the prospect of growing old themselves. Also there are some recommendations for improving these attitudes and make young people realize some things.

Attitudes towards elder people

Young people always had bad attitudes and specially towards older people. They lack of patience which is very important while being with older people, this is because they take their time to do some things or the find it harder to understand the modern world as we know it since they come from another generation.  They need an explanation multiple times to understand and sometimes young people looses their minds trying to explain. That's why people don't like to be with older people, they are not the same as them, in other words they are incompatible.

Prospect of growing old themselves

As I stated before, older and young people are incompatible. Young people can't imagine a life in which they are very limited to do what they like. Many of them see elder people as boring or as people that are excluded from society. Young people want to do what they want, so they see growing as an obstacle.

Recommendations

These attitudes must be changed and improved in order to make elder people comfortable and to reintegrate them into society.

·         Young people should realize that older people need attention by encouraging them to spend time with them

·         Inform about their disabilities and how people can help them

If some attitudes could be changed, older people could be happier and end their final stage properly.
