Who should be most respected and why?

Americans are often accused of admiring youthful beauty and energy over the experience and wisdom of older people. Who should be most respected – young adults, middle-aged people, or senior citizens? Why?

Basically senior citizens should be most respected, but this also depends on what those people have reached during their whole life. Honor and respect are due to people who have really influenced the society, the city, or maybe even the country in an impressing way. What I am talking about is that every person, who has worked during their whole life, or has been involved in charity organizations, only to mention some examples, is important for all other descendants. Nevertheless, even special thanks go to young or middle-aged people, who have reached something extraordinary in their life. Overall, you can never admire youthful beauty, or mere beauty, and energy over experience and wisdom. Furthermore, you can’t say that only old people are smart and have experience. Every human being has to be respected, no matter what age, color, education or family background he or she has. In spite of everything, Americans are not the only ones who have problems to recognize the real values of a socitey that should be admired. Unfortunately the advertising industry has an enormous impact on the attitude of people towards beauty and the everlasting youthfulness. Every person should think about how advertisements influence our life and what we can do to remain true to ourself. Human values and moral concepts are very important factors that determine the way of our peaceful living-together.



Be the change you wish to see in the world.
