Do you think the Elders would also listen to Youth?

[Sasuke102001]

From what I have seen personally is the elders actually don't like to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the youth. The problem here is the generation gap, the elderly people have an old or outdated thinking you can say whereas the youth has a very modern thinking and modern approach to every situation, so there is always a conflict between the elders and the youth's way of thinking and the elders don't accept the modern way of thinking as they like to stick to their old-fashioned way of thinking. But they have to understand that as time changes, problems change the solution also changes the same old way of thinking and solutions just won't work anymore. The elders and the youth have to work together to create a better society by working together I mean to say the experience of the elderly and the modern mind of the youth, when brought together can do miracles.

Generally no. Younger people, for example teenagers will make great mistakes. And that's not simply from lack of knowledge. You can be a very high IQ person. They will make mistakes from lack of experience. That's just the way it is. It will always be like, "I can't believe I did things this way."

I think the best way for us to do is a cyclic manner the give and take. The youth listen to the elders because they are the one who has more experience and how to overcome all of this situation or problems. While elders must also listen to the youth just  a youth nowadays are more innovative, critical thinking, and open minded due to the advancement of technology that's why elders should adapt it.

Everyone deserves to be heard whether an adult, youth or kid. If everyone is being listened to then the world would be a better place because there is this thing with being listened to, it makes the speaker feel relevant and welcomed. Even when the listener would not adopt his idea, it makes it easier for the complainant to accept the listener's view.

Definitely yes,probably nowadays,because youth are the future although we give to respect and obey with them in our elder,but the essence are the most ,why elder should be listen to the youth? Maybe because young people today are most opened -mind than elders,aside from that young people today are most determine and motivation to learn about new things and to adapt from new surrounding and culture,compared to elder people now that sometimes are difficult to adjust because they have own mindset and their old belief.

Absolutely yes,but depend upon to situation although elders have many things to learn from young people but not everything can be learned from the books instead sharing ideas and thoughts are the most concept to strong relationship between elder in young people,so that it doesn't matter to advance technology of life style and culture,instead discover is process to everyone us student from learning new things through in journey life,

They need to and they're doing too. Now we're into the time of post world war old agers born in the 50s and later.
The new generation of old agers are more adaptive to change.

Elders were already listening to the youth. They try to adapt with the change in society. Youth are complicated and so as the elders. They been through a lot and so i think they already know the need of the youth has to be heard.

Not all of them are adaptive to change. I have realized that age doesn't really or shouldn't really classify a person as an elder. Some are old and lack the wisdom and patience to learn. Some elders listen though, but listening and being willing to apply the advice given by youths are entirely two different things.
