Ielts Essay - Advice of Older
Practice of relying on the wisdom of forefathers and parents, and getting their suggestions has continued to persist down the ages. But, nowadays, trend of seeking suggestions from senior members of families seems to be waning though some feel that this tradition is continuously perpetuating despite change of perceptions of younger generation.

Seeking suggestions and guidance of elders of family would always be in vogue, especially in terms of guidance about professional domain. Even in the contemporary times, young people, on being guided by their parents, tend to follow the footsteps of their elders, like choosing to enter into similar occupations as their parents. The youth despite being adventurous are more inclined to earning success quickly which inspires them to do what they feel can fetch tangible outcomes, and the best way to success is highly experienced advice of elders.

Furthermore, exercise of seeking suggestions from parents and grandparents is virtually irreplaceable, when it comes to personal lives, since young people have an undaunted faith on the wisdom of their elders. Sons and daughters are seen spending hours on, in person, or on phones, discussing their problems with their parents and seeking critical hints to find effective solutions for almost every walk of their personal lives, that may sometimes range from choosing a life partner and upbringing of children to handling financial affairs, etc.

However, today, young people find advice of their elders quite irrelevant. People are going places and trotting the globe, which has broadened their perspectives. These people feel that opinions of their elders are restricted to the experiences gained in limited premise so those suggestions are more of less of no use.


To conclude, I personally feel debate or no debate, practice of seeking advice from parents would always exist.
