Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Since the world has changed so much in the past fifty years, advice our grandparents can give us is not useful.
Old people are always considered to be the symbol of wisdom in my country, as early as Tang Dynasty, old people’s words often wins a great concern of the emperor. From my point of view, though in the past fifty years the world has experienced great changes, the old people have been through all those events successfully. Accordingly, they are experienced without doubts. Therefore, their words are of certain importance for us to take into consideration, so the advice from grandparents is still useful.
To begin with, grandparents are experienced. They know how to deal with unexpected things or big events in life. You will take the burden if you do not listen to the old, is the old saying in China that examines what the situation means. Should we go to work right after the graduation of high school? Should we marry a person from an extremely different culture? Or should we devote ourselves in charity area for the whole life? All those things waited for us to answer can borrow the opinion from the advice of grandparents. Indeed, revolutionary changes happened in the society in the past years. However, grandparents saw them, talked to them and even competed with them and they survived. How can we not listen to the words from a winner? Besides, grandparents love us, they will do whatever they can to assist us even though they have to cast down their old fashion opinion and learn the new one.
Another equally significant view is that people can change, so do our grandparents. Surrounded by all the new technologies and myriad of information, grandparents are able to learn some of them. Therefore, they can become as modern as the young also can they be equipped with the most up-to-date understanding of the world. Recently, my grandfather who is retired and has plenty of time is learning about how to use computer at home. With the assistance from the internet, he commands enough skills to create his own programs and he even tracks the latest development of software around worldwide. Occasionally, when I encounter difficulties, it is my aged grandfather whom I have to turn to for advice. He has devoted enough time to catch up with the modern world. Consequently, there is no reason for me not to listen to his advice. In this way, grandparents can know the changeable world better than us sometimes, which makes their advice of even more value.
To sum up, statement like all the advice from our grandparents could not be helpful is incorrect. Grandparents are experienced and they are learning to be as knowledgeable as us about the frequently changing new world. In all, we still should pay high attention to their advice nowadays. |
