An
intriguing topic of discussion at hand is whether getting advice from older
adults is better or getting advice from peers is better. It may seem true that
peer’s advice is more helpful; however, with in-depth
analysis the statements seems rather too far-fetched. Although people may hold
different ideas and opinion, I personally support the idea that adult’s advice is more useful than that of peers on account of two
reasons. Because it is more realistic and informative.
To
begin with, older adults can give us a more practical advice. This is because
the longer people live, the more experience people have. Taking my personal
experience for instance, I had difficulty in choosing what I want to be in the
future in adolescent. So I discussed it with my friends, but I was not able to
take their words seriously. As they did not have any experience in job career
like me, Iit was not helpful to me. One
day, I talked to my father about my problem. And he gave me a useful advice
along with his practical experiences in job. So I could choose my job career
that time.
On
top of that, Aadvice from older adults is
more informative. It may seem that peers have more information about the job;
however, they do not don’t
actually know about the real job world. Older adults not only know about their
job, but they also have numerous personal relations like friends who actually
works in other job fields. So Tthey are
able to give more informative advice to the one who does not have real
experiences. Indeed, a study recently conducted by the National Institute of
Statistics is well align with this statement. In a survey, two-third of young
people who are 20 to 30 replied that they have trouble choosing their career
because they have little information.
In
a nutshell, although whether advice from old adults is more helpful or advice
from the peers is more helpful is open to interpretation, and it seems reasonable to claim that advice from old lod adults is more helpful because of two
reasons discussed in this essay.
