Should young people always respect and obey those older than themselves in all circumstances? In my opinion, respect and obedience do not necessarily go hand in hand all the time.
In my context, people who are older than me should be my parents, older siblings, teachers, relatives and others,who started life earlier than I and have seen the coming and going of generations and are therefore much more experienced.In view of their seniority in age and rich experiences, they do deserve our respect.
Responding our seniors is the basic expression of politeness, such as greeting them, helping them do anything within our capacity and seeking advice from them in making decisions in life. Such response from us.is an expression of love, too.The seniors, being assured of our sincerity, will be most happy and contented.
However, whether young people should always obey the seniors remains controversial. Before responding, I think it is helpful to ask: Is the advice or desire given morally right? Is it encouraging me to act against my own will? Is it given based on prejudices. I am convinced that young people should not simply obey without thinking, because blind obedience only confirms how immature, impulsive and naive we are.
To conclude, it is necessary to respect the seniors, however, to obey them at all times is questiofiable. As goes the saying "Think before you act,"I am sure that every mature youth will discern what is right ana What. is Wrong before responding wisely.
