| << I also think that young people can't or shouldn't teach older people. Competent young people might think that they can do well than incompetent older people. But however they seem to be incompetent, older people usually experienced much more things than young people. Of course older, experienced people may think that they can learn even from young people. If they try to learn something from us, I think that is no problem. What I want to say is that young people should not try to teach something to older people. They should respect the older people however they may seem to be incompetent. As for me, I try to learn more from younger people. When I asked that, "Who is your most respectable person?", I usually reply that I respect my parents. This type of question is usually asked when I take some communication skill tests. I don't want to make a strange answer, so I reply that I respect for my parents. But to tell the truth, the person I respect for most in the world is my younger brother. He is 5 years old than me. As for some knowledges or life experiences, I might be superior than him. But he is superior than me at more basic, fundamental level. I love the way he lives. Of course he doesn't teach nothing to me and probably, he doesn't know the fact that I respect for him and try to learn many things from him. Young people can't or maybe shouldn't teach something to old people. But it is certain that old people can learn many things from young people if they are truely respect for them. I don't like the attitude to oppose to older people. My university changed its educational system recently, and we are the first grade who are applied to that system. So professors and teachers try to know our responses to that system. They want to know how we feel the new system. Every week, faculty members of my university hold a small meeting and some students also attend the meeting. In the meeting, the students ask the professors to change or move something for more development. But I don't like such an attitude. For me, it seems to be arrogant. In conclusion, I think that old people can learn a lot of things from younger people. In fact, I learn many things from my yonger brother. But as I have said above, young people shouldn't teach something to older people. For me, such attitudes seem to be arrogant. Young people should be modest and try to learn many things from their olders. If young people are arrogant, they can't learn many things from elderly persons. This is because most people don't want to teach many things to arrogant people. |
