The media is used consistently in our generation ranging from social media to advertising, and the way we portray the elderly today is uncivil. Most people nowadays feel elders require too much attention and are outdated for today’s society. For example, instead of taking care of a fellow relative that is decrepit, we tend to send them away to a retirement home so we are not weighed down by their sluggish lifestyle. However, where would our world be today if it was not for the elderly and what they contributed towards our early culture? I believe they deserve more of our respect because of their experiences they have faced throughout their lifetime. We oversee their hardships and struggles they have suffered to create a better world.
