Q) Do we really pay respect to senior citizens?
A) Responses

In true sense the answer is no. We have no special feeling for them. W
dont take any specal care or attitude when we are travelling, standng
on queue for collecting things essensial for our day to day
life.Though government declare & are giving facilities to them in
different area like bank interest,railway ticket as a token of respect
but still we the younger generation not eve bothered about their age.
We still fight if someone favor a senior citizen. But actually they
need special care not even home also outside home where they face lot
of traoubles daly. Isn't it our duty to make them comfortable & help
them with respect.

You are so right here Nandini. We are so worked up and rushed up in
our modern lives that we had taken up the attitude to completely
ignore the emotional needs of the senior citizens. We had lost the
etiquette of showing courtesy towards our senior citizens in homes and
outside. How bad it is, could be a matter of debate but it is so true
that senior citizens in our country are a significantly neglected lot.
Lot of initiative needs to be taken up by the governments the society
and the younger generations in order to improve the lives of them.
Serious steps are required to make things nice and easy for our elders
who had toiled hard for the families and the society in there young
days.

hi,
this is an important matter to discuss at this time. How are the
senior people treated now a days. In rural ares, some how they get
respect and care. But this is not the case in cities. In cities,
senior citizens should enjoy some privileges, such as special seats on
buses, reduced fares for entertainment and traveling, and other
benefits. We should do everything to solve their practical problems,
to warm their hearts, and to make them happy. Also there must be
servants appointed to take care of them. In addition, we should find
some ways to provide affordable medical health care, which is of vital
importance to them. Besides, there should be recreation halls and
care- centers for the aged. Most important of all, the state should
ensure a decent pension for them, peasants in particular.
Step2In the vast countryside, most aged people are financially
supported by their sons, whose life is a perpetual struggle against
poverty. There are different cases also. What can they do if they are
childless? In my opinion, the government or the society should give
their help ,warmth and regards, make them feel that they are also
enjoying their life all the same. In other words, we should supply
more welfare to these seniors. They are also a part of the society.
Senior citizens, parents in particular, need our love and deserve the
best care. It is our duty to take care of them. Respecting senior
citizens bears vital importance to the family - planning policy in
China. If we do our best to honor our parents and the aged, our
children will follow our example, which seems to be much better for
younger generations.
thanks,

If we had given respect to senior citizens we won't find so many old
aged homes. Today we never spend a minute to think of them. They are a
treasure to our society. When the citizens of a country give proper
respect and courtesy to senior citizens we can take the nation to
greater heights

Hi
Thanks for bringing this issue on light. The one who is declared as
treasure to the nation are not really treasured as they should be.
Some politicians use them as a device to their next election. They
simply praised in front but stabbed at the back.
In this modern India i think most of the awards and rewards are not
won but bought. We really dont think of the people who really
contributed to the society and its welfare but we always like to
comment on the people who bought fame by paying money.
We have to change our attitude. If we know someone is not that great
but has too much of fame and money then just leave them. It is their
trick to find a living. Please concentrate on the real contributors.
One such leader is Gandhiji and do we really know what happened to
their family now? Really not, but if you someone related to bollywood
or hollywood and ask what they are doing we are ready to give answers.
Please do consider that we have lot more to pay attention on other
issues than simply wasting time on unwanted things.

Hello,
Seriously, i think this is not only the topic to discuss but we have
to do something for senior citizen. I travel in bus every day and saw
that if any senior citizen stands in bus not body offer their seats to
them. I really feel ashamed bcoz i feel if they have such stamina to
stand 1-2 hours in bus why dont we have. If i m seating in bus i
always offer my seat to senior citizen.
We have to give them respect as well as take care of them. If our
grandparents also treated like this we feel ashamed thats why we have
to treat them as our grandparents.

will also reach to that stage, hence we should think future and behave
today.
