Do you think the Elders would also listen to Youth?

[yametekudasai]

There are some elders that listen to the youth but there are also some who values their old tradition. The youth should also listen to the elders because they've have already been in their shoes. They know the ropes and all the things this world can do. But as a youth, we also should pick out the knowledge that we can use because not all of the things elders know is are helpful.

I think so. We are in an Era were everyone's voice was being heard. Gone are the days were Elders words are like the word of everyone else. Youth are free to say what they want. Most of the time they make mistakes but sometimes they make Elders realize that there might be something that can be done. Instead of doing things because of tradition, maybe there is something that can make our lives better. Youth can make Elders to think twice.

Perhaps the elder generation has actually realized that their thoughts are not in line with the times. My grandfather likes to ask me what I do, how about my school, how about my job. He was curious about how the world works today. Though occasionally my grandfather interrupts as if he doesn't accept, but he listens to what I'm talking to the end. They don't completely close themselves to the younger generation, they may disagree, but they understand it. Because they have lived long, they become wise in addressing a thing. They are aware of the times that they live is different.

What is your opinion about it , you think they will listen to modern youth today.
We gain wisdom from all ages. Gone are the days that information is practically owned by the older generation. Because now the young people have their own perspective on life. And they are no longer happy with old life.

I think they should listen to the Youth today, but in return we should still give them respect them for their opinions. We could make a way to make them unerstand that not everything is the same as they were during their generation. So there are a big difference with the perspective of their generation and the younger generation these days. The elders should also accept that these changes are inevitable and they have to live with what the society is right now and what it will become.

Well for one thing, information nownis readily available. It is also true that the older generations don't have the monopoly on information anymore. But fact of the matter is experienxe is the best teacher and we have to admit, the older generations has it in bulk. The youth shouldn't be arrogant to the point that they know everything. Besides, the youth today doesn't have the discipline or the spine forged in hardship like the previous generation did. What we could do is refine what the previous generation perfected.

i aggree with you, even within this post you can see youths being arrogant and elders saying that they have experience and that they know better. youths are not the leaders of tommorrow ,leaders are leaders,it doesnt matter how old you are. i also think that  yes information is passed differently nowadays but it is still passed by someone wise  ,the information that we value at least.All people experience a different world,what we can only do is try to better it for everyone's sake. Anyone who states they know better is a fool,time will tell though eventually.

The elders should also listen to young people.
Young people of the modern generation.
Because not everything that is said by the elders is always right, and neither is it spoken by young people always wrong.
So look what's said if it's something right then listen and accept even though the truth is coming from a modern young man.

Why not?  It is true we gained wisdom  from all ages but Elders also gained wisdom for the youth ages. Elders and Youth are only both same in terms of doing wrong and good things.

I totally agree with you that we gain wisdom from all ages, but getting older doesn't mean that we are wiser. That's why because the older ones don' t have the are not open to listening to the younger ones. Getting older doesn't mean that you have achieved in life all the things you could have known, but some of them act like this like they know everything.

[JoshuaBlack1]

I don't think so to be honest. I can even see it in myself being over critical of the younger generations and I distinctly remember saying I would never do it but I think the difference you get between generations makes it very hard to relate

[Nellayar]

It is not a sin sometimes to hear what other people's opinion even he is your younger brother/sister. All of us have emotions and we always want to say what are true feelings. I am also the benjamin of my family and I am lucky that my family always hear my opinion and suggestions for the goodness of myself and my family.
I promote egalitarianism wherein, we are all here above in earth shall have the equal rights. Rights to express our opinion whether it is helpful or not.

Why not. I think elders will listen to young people of today. The also have something to share. Their wisdom and experiences are different compared to elders. They will learn more from todays generation. Some of the elders knowledge are already obsolete because we are already in the modern age.there are matured youth who can share their ideas with the oldies.

[kalebb]

Lot of things changed and much of it is mastered by young people. We can say that experience is the best advise. So young people need to listen to old people but still, lot of thing has changed. So old people must listen to young people in some ways.

    yes it can be some elder are listening to youth may be it depend upon what kind of discussion.
    elder listen if the have an idea to improved to help their community it kind of sharing and improving their cultural or even behavior.

Whether old or not, poor or rich and of different races we should listen and heed wisdom. It doesn't matter if the wisdom was said in a gentle voice or otherwise. We should really listen and not just hear. Let's not fall into the trap of thinking that we know everything and that we are always right. Let's not put pride over our search for wisdom so that we could actually pass it down to the next generation. I just hope we do this so we can improve.

Well the elders always believe they know everything and the fact that a person is young or was born by a  father or mother,they think that child of theirs has nothing sensible to offer hence they do not seek his or her opinion in decision making process.However,there are some elders who believe in what the youth have to say to them so they seek their opinion in some decision making and consider those views from the youth as important.

I believe yes but our elders would believe youth depending on how they live their lives. If a teenager would share something to his grandparents or elderly friends, those people would still find ways to believe it it's true based on the background of the teenager. However, there are also elders who don't believe in teenagers easily because they believe that they have gone to far and they have been through a lot.

As for me, I believe that it is hard for us to let elders listen to us because they have the thing called pride that they might lose they power if they listened to younger people. As an example, I am sharing my ideas to my father who is old already but he refuses to listen whenever I share my ideas and only implements his ideas because he finds it more appropriate because he believes that due to his experience, he already knows the right thing to do.

Here in India, it is almost impossible to imagine such a scenario. Here the elders command a lot of respect and they even decide the marriage alliances and voting preference for their children and grand-children. If you tell them to listen to the youth, then they will slap you.

in my opinion, people tend to learn from one another. Thing is, some have pride that is hindering them from taking in information from generations younger. But if we only learn to listen, there is much information that we can share and ideas to convey. Older generation should also try to keep up with the information of today's generation
 Younger generation on the other hand should pay attention to what old people ate dating because this is respect.
