Nowadays
young people do not seek older people’s advice in the same way as in the past. Do you
agree or disagree with this statement? Include your opinion and relevant
examples from your own experience.
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.
