Do
you agree or disagree with the following statement? There is nothing that young
people can teach older people. Use specific reasons and examples to support
your position.
I have to totally disagree with the
statement that there is nothing that young people can teach older people. For
several reasons, which I will mention bellow, I think that young people can
teach older people many things.
First of all, young people intend to
learn new things faster. They faster learn new technologies. Second of all,
young people are more motivated. They aspire to succeed and make a good career,
which requires good knowledge and experience. So, they try to get more
knowledge and experience from different sources like Internet, books,
newspaper, magazines and of cause from conversations with other people. In
addition to this young people bring many fresh ideas to the team they are
working in. For example, when my friend was hired as a software developer he
surprised everybody with his energy, a bunch of new and fresh ideas about what
could be done to improve the process. He was the youngest person in the team
but everybody listened to him and it was like a fresh air, an impulse, which
made everyone work harder.
Finally, young people often know more
about new technologies. For example, my husband is 26 years old and he is a good professional in software
development. So, he is often asked to read a lecture for different companies
and audience. Needless to say, the majority of people who attend those lectures
are older than my husband.
To sum up, I think that young people
have many things to teach older people. Moreover, I think that people from
every generation have something to learn from each other. People learn trough
their entire lives from books that hold the experience and the history of
previous generations as well as from their own experience and experience of the
younger people.
