“Young
People’s Perspective on the elderly to-day”
Well
done to the two young T.Y. students, Emma Loughnane and Emily Gavin
from Scoil Mhuire, who couragesly gave us a very interesting and
enlightening presentation at our monthly meeting last Wed.
We seem
to constantly criticise the younger generation for their constant use
of phones and other technology, their lack of communication, their
bad pronunciation, their sloppy dress code, ripped jeans, over use of
make-up etc.
We
were pleased to hear they considered us wise, religious, more
domesticated, better dancers, thrifty, respectful, responsible,
generous, good listeners and chatty
On the
negative side they noticed we were lonely, impatient, grumpy,
hopeless at technology, not great drivers, prone to sickness.
The
result of a research amongst the general body of students showed they
considered you were “old” at age 75 and they thought our
generation had a better lifestyle than the young people of to-day.
It
seems we could learn a lot from each other!!
