Some people might say that getting advice from
older adults is better than getting advice from peers.
But for my opinion, peers like friends or
co-workers can give much better advice than older generations.There are two reasons for this. Sharing
same problems and flexiable approach.
First, people in same generation can share
similar problems. To be specific, they are placed in similar environment and
social problems. They can understand your conditions more
than anyone. Complex issues are made up with a lot of elements which you can
not see unless you are really in there. For instance, when I was in middle school,
I had problems with managing my study. I had to study hard but having problems
with my parents made me not able to focus on it. I had very complexed situaion with my
parents which was hard to explain to others. I tried to explain to my teachers.
However they just accused me for low grade. Then one of my friend who was under similar
situation gave me advice. He could understand my situation more than anyone.
And I was able to solve problems by his advice.
Second, younger people have more flexiable
solutions to problems. In other words, they are more used to new technologies
and social issues. As time goes by, more elements which belong
only to new generations are being made. And sometimes, older generations have
difficulties on understanding it. For example, when I was in high school, I
used to wonder what should I get as my future career. These days, techonolgists
are being welcomed by a lot of companies. It's a noticable career which is being
developed in these days. However, when I talked about this with my parents and
grand parents, they said I should take only doctor or loyal as my job. They didn't know the variation of career in
new generation and couln't follow up the changes. However, my friends who were
already working in that field gave me bunch of usuful informations about it. And it helped me to choose a right job for
me.
To sum up, people in similar ages can
understand your situations more than older people and have more informations
about new things. From these reasons,I firmly believe that
advice from peers have more value than advice seniors. |
