How could the education system benefit from regular involvement of the elderly?

 @9HY73YDDemocrat  from Nevada  answered…1yr1Y

: Participation in and perceptions of an educational delivery system. ... Elderly interests in the expressive domain. Educational

 @9HY9LKN from Minnesota  answered…1yr1Y

I don't think it would benefit that much. I think social security should not be a thing. It was good at the time but now people should plan for their own future. We don't need to bring in the eldery to educate us about this topic. We should not be dependent on our government because then they have to much control over us. I do think they should talk about the abuse they have and mental health. Also making our city more elderly-friendly will not hurt. All elderly have the same rights of everyone else. They should not be treated different.

 @9HY9MLJ from Tennessee  answered…1yr1Y

The elderly could discuss important topics with students and help to educate them.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How should the world change to accommodate the growing number of elderly people?

There should be better health care for the elderly. More assisted living should be provided to them, or even building more elderly homes would do them some good.

Why do you think some societies revere their elderly while others seem to overlook them?

 @9HJ8Y2JRepublican from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

because some people see them as a wise and respected but some people just dont show respect at all

 @9HJ7TV3Democrat from Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

The perception of the elderly varies across societies due to cultural, economic, and historical factors. Societies that value wisdom, experience, and intergenerational connections often revere their elderly. In contrast, societies focusing more on youth or facing economic challenges might overlook older individuals as they may be seen as less economically productive. Cultural values play a significant role in shaping attitudes toward the elderly.
