Some people argue that advice from grandparents is useless for grandchildren who have adapted to the present society. However, in my opinon, advice from grandparents is useful for grandchildren for the following reason. First, grandchildren can broaden their perspecitve through listening to their advice.
First of all, advice from grandparents can serve various life experiences and lessons which are hardly acquired by other activities. In the identical social and environmental cirmcumstances, people generally have relatively familiar and similar views and experiences learned through formalized education. However, by getting advice from various people, especially the elders, grandchildren can obtain more refreshing ideas and thoughts. At this moment, I would like to talk about my experience. Recently, I visited my grandmother's house. I had an opportunity to have a conversation with her. We discussed about how lifestyle have changed from her generation to mine. She said that in the past, women were only allowed to stay at home, and were never educated. However, nowadays women's status improved than ever before. While talking about this, she told me that the society has become more equal with decline in discrimination. As I am a student, she told me that I should also study hard to gain a high social status. By making a comparison between the past and the present, her advice was partical and necessary for me to concentrate on my study. Therefore, this proves how advice from grandparents are important for young.
In conclusion, interaction between grandparents and grandchildren is always good for the reason stated above. In this regard, I fully disagree with the statement provided. |
