The principal objective of this report is to provide a description of the importance of how young people of my community feel about older people. There are several ways in which young people might treat the older ones. They may respect and admire them or either they are disrespectful and arrogant.
The information was obtained in an online questionnaire. Based on it, we can say that generally young people are respectful and conscious towards older people. They think they are a source of information and that their experience makes them precious and important. Giving the fact they lived almost a century, their knowledge is enormous and it is natural the mental and corporal fatigue.
On the other hand, some young people think that they are too old and so they can not do nothing. They do not take into account that older people have 7 times lived their age. The most severe ones are arrogant and disrespectful towards older people and they do not realise they could be their own grandparents. Fortunately they are the minority of the community.
I would therefore recommend parents give more importance the teaching of values and respect towards their elders. Mainly when they are children and they do not prejudge, because it will be more difficult when they grow up and they feel superior.
