People always tended to get older, and, nowadays, it’s true that young generation is having much less interest to have social contact with older people. While I admit that there are some really important reasons for this situation, I still think that this can be prevented by some useful actions.
There may be some important reasons for this situation. Firstly, social media is getting popular, especially among young generation. Children hang up on social medias such as Tik Tok and don’t have time to talk with their grandparents, as it takes a lot of time to talk with friends or watch videos. Secondly, nowadays, there are more possibilities for young people, compared to the past. In the past, in young age, people tended to be less busy and were at home for most of the time and had hot a lot time talk with, for example, grandparents. However, now, there are a lot of learning centers, malls, and restaurants, so, most of the time, young generation is much busier.
However, there may be some useful solutions for this. For one, older people can get to know about social media as much as young people do. As it is hard to prevent young generation from using social media, older people can learn about it, so there will be reasons to talk with older people. Moreover, older people can be more active. If older people would be active on events or just in life, rather than staying at home all the time, so they could become an interesting companion, so it would bring young people to talk with them.
In conclusion, problem with social contact between two different generations is increasing for obvious reasons, such as social media, but it still can be prevented by widening knowledge about social media in older people.
