▶ Your Answer : Based on their experiences and understanding of the world, some people might say that getting adivice form older adults is better than getting advice from peers. However, I’m strongly convinced that ask peers for advice is quite better. As friends are usually facing same circumstances thus understand my problem better and share similar values in personal life, it would be more beneficial to get advice from peers than from older adults. To begin with, peers can easily notice what the exactly problem I faced is. Since I have many surrounds in common with my friends, they can readily sympathize with me. For instance, older adults sometimes gives me advices which is not appropriate for reality, because they only think about their experiences, which can be long time ago. However, since peers usually know the current situation, the advice from peers will be very practical for me. Thus, it is safe to argue that getting lessons from peers is beneficial for me. In addition, since we are in the same generation and social rank, we usually share personal values in life. All of people keep their most important value in mind, when they have to make a significant decision. Also, people in the same generation usually have similar experiences during their life. Consequently, I have similar perspectives toward the world with my peers, more than older adults. Therefore, friends can give me an advice more in my own viewpoints. On the other hand, it is hard to have personal values in common with older adults. If I make a decision influenced by older adults, the results could be very different with what I expected due to the gab of out personal values. In conclusion, the advice from peers will be practical and match with my own perspective better. Therefor, I strongly believe that getting advice from friends will help me better overcome many troubles that I faced better than getting advice from older adults. |
