Question

the ways in which the elderly in your society are cared for today to the way they were cared for in the past.

Answer 1

Answer:

Caring Past and Neglected Present

Explanation:

The has been a marked difference between the elderly people were cared in the past and how they are treated now. The first marked difference is that there was no old age home in the past; elderly people were respected and looked after well by sons and daughters and their sons and daughters in a joint family. In our time, single-family notion rejects the association of elderly people since the wife doesn't like to live with in-laws. Another factor is time: modern society lacks time, and in the busy schedule of young people doesn't give them time enough to look after the elderly people. There was enough emotional bond in the past; there is hardly any emotional attachment in the present, materialistic society. Now elderly people are considered burden; in the past, they were precious souls whose advice was taken seriously.
