why children and old/aged people are negected these days

Hi! For me i may say that i will start from within the family before other basis like social, personal experience or learned from school and other souces that affects my attitude.The good foundation of ones personality starts from the family where and how i grew up,whom i grew up with and what kind of relationship ive got with them. That affects my views and treatment or attitude towards other people whether a child,mid aged people and old aged.A good foundation can easily carry oneself.I believe am flexible to adapt any age/type of person.It is a good practice while growing that there is love and respect to each other for eaxample there will be understanding our parents that they need to attend to other things so ill better do it on my own without disturbing my parents.example my late grandparents is living with us and i have to take care of them while my parents is at work.So i talk or spend time with them that brings us more closer.We watch televisions together,we play simple one,and share each others experience and point of views.So am happy with that.So the conclusion is maybe those who neglect the old/aged people these days because of communication gap and acceptance how to deal with it because of many differences.That speaks of other forces why differences comes out.

Personally there are many different styles of customs these days it seems with different countries, religions, etc. to where it might make it harder for one to be able to do some of the things they want to do. This does not always seem fair or right, and no one really is there to want to step in and help them. Personally I think sometimes it needs to be stressed to others to be willing to want to help out more so more things adults may want to do can be done as well. And age should not be a factor.

The world is controlled by a bunch of younger adults or middle aged people that are concerned about people like themselves and how to increase their own standings in the world. Many times, children and the elderly are really just considered to be expendable. Which is a real harsh shame but never the less, one that is very true. There is most certainly a huge mentality where everyone puts themselves first in this world. Hopefully that does change and the very young and the very old are both going to get the respect that they deserve and also the attention. Of course that would need to result in a very huge change of attitude and sadly it is just a product of the world changing around us.

Madam the culture is changing so fast, unexpected things are happening, love marriages becoming common, they live together in one room, sleep in one bed, produce kids, may marry/may not marry, get the baby out guys want to put parents in old-age- homes, 'bridhhasrams'; what a shape, it is due to lake of culture, they were not given right 'sanskar', i never had this problem, we are so happy with our kids, bahus, grandkids.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

well not the total world dear. i am proud to say that i am a FILIPINO. Despite the fact that Philippines is still in the 3rd world, i am very very very very proud to say that FILIPINOS have a great culture. One of our very treasured customs is the one we called, "family ties". you could see how family members care for each other. even though, of course, there are times when families argue but as a whole Filipinos VALUE a good family tie.

I didnt quite understand.... but Godbless and thanks for sharing your views.

Dear friend, It is a part social changes, those values of love and caring is vanishing. Most people do get education that too academic focused, more family break ups, isolation in societies so on those problems in whole society is coming up. I feel these things do have much impact on human values in life.

Thats really worrying. How can somebody cannot take care of a person, who is the reason of his or her existence. Well, personally I have observed that the people who are doing such things are ignorant. Ignorant of fact that you can't get rid of responsibilities and the responsibility they are ignoring is leading them towards unsuccessful. Its a proven fact that relationship with mother or father, if ignored, can lead to bad luck. And the reason people do this, is that they are not aware of this simple fact.

Hello, Even here in my country which people are known for being family oriented,there's a lot of changes. Before,here in my country,kids never had any trouble taking care of their old (parents/grandparents). But,now mosts of the old people are taken care by a private nurse or caregivers. Same thing with kids/children. before,it is the mother who takes care of their youngs,but now,mosts of the mothers are working and kids under nannies. I don't blame people for adopting such changes. But sometimes they forgot their responsibilities and give it to other people. Changes is constant...we can not avoid it,but deal with it.

Dear maygodblessu44, There were times not long ago when responsibilities came first and rights and enjoyments came later. It was the duty of every generation to take care of the previous and the next generation. Today it is all bout "ME" and nothing else. This self absorption is the cause of people not taking care of the elder and younger members of the family. Very sad indeed!
