old people in our society

With the development of our society, there are more and more people become old generations. Old people often keep many traditional opinions on the right way of living, thinking and behaving. A large number of people claim that the old people are not useful for the young people ready to step into the modern society in the future. However, I think it is a mistake to believe that the old people are not helpful for young people.
In my point of view, old generations have enough experience because they live much longer than we do and they have experienced many things. For example, an old person is very prudent because they know the money is hard to make. In addition, they are used to keeping low profiled in daily life. Their ideas are usually right and they can help the young to solve the problems. Thus, the old people’s opinions are often useful in our life.
In addition to this, the society has developed more and more differentially. It was not the times when they lived. The old people cannot keep pace with the world. Some of their ideas have been out of date. They are so conservative that they cannot have the developing views. However, they still have much helpful information to teach the young people how to live. Above all, I think the old generations’ ideas still have enough power to influence our life.
