They need to and they're doing too. Now we're into the time of post world war old agers born in the 50s and later.
The new generation of old agers are more adaptive to change.
Not all of them are adaptive to change. I have realized that age doesn't really or shouldn't really classify a person as an elder. Some are old and lack the wisdom and patience to learn. Some elders listen though, but listening and being willing to apply the advice given by youths are entirely two different things. The new generation of old agers are more adaptive to change.

Elders were already listening to the youth. They try to adapt with the change in society. Youth are complicated and so as the elders. They been through a lot and so i think they already know the need of the youth has to be heard. The new generation of old agers are more adaptive to change.
Absolutely yes,but depend upon to situation although elders have many things to learn from young people but not everything can be learned from the books instead sharing ideas and thoughts are the most concept to strong relationship between elder in young people,so that it doesn't matter to advance technology of life style and culture,instead discover is process to everyone us student from learning new things through in journey life,
Definitely yes,probably nowadays,because youth are the future although we give to respect and obey with them in our elder,but the essence are the most ,why elder should be listen to the youth? Maybe because young people today are most opened -mind than elders,aside from that young people today are most determine and motivation to learn about new things and to adapt from new surrounding and culture,compared to elder people now that sometimes are difficult to adjust because they have own mindset and their old belief.
Everyone deserves to be heard whether an adult, youth or kid. If everyone is being listened to then the world would be a better place because there is this thing with being listened to, it makes the speaker feel relevant and welcomed. Even when the listener would not adopt his idea, it makes it easier for the complainant to accept the listener's view.
I think the best way for us to do is a cyclic manner the give and take. The youth listen to the elders because they are the one who has more experience and how to overcome all of this situation or problems. While elders must also listen to the youth just a youth nowadays are more innovative, critical thinking, and open minded due to the advancement of technology that's why elders should adapt it.
Generally no. Younger people, for example teenagers will make great mistakes. And that's not simply from lack of knowledge. You can be a very high IQ person. They will make mistakes from lack of experience. That's just the way it is. It will always be like, "I can't believe I did things this way."
From what I have seen personally is the elders actually don't like to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the youth. The problem here is the generation gap, the elderly people have an old or outdated thinking you can say whereas the youth has a very modern thinking and modern approach to every situation, so there is always a conflict between the elders and the youth's way of thinking and the elders don't accept the modern way of thinking as they like to stick to their old-fashioned way of thinking. But they have to understand that as time changes, problems change the solution also changes the same old way of thinking and solutions just won't work anymore. The elders and the youth have to work together to create a better society by working together I mean to say the experience of the elderly and the modern mind of the youth, when brought together can do miracles.
What is your opinion about it , you think they will listen to modern youth today.
We gain wisdom from all ages. Gone are the days that information is practically owned by the older generation. Because now the young people have their own perspective on life. And they are no longer happy with old life.
in my opinion, people tend to learn from one another. Thing is, some have pride that is hindering them from taking in information from generations younger. But if we only learn to listen, there is much information that we can share and ideas to convey. Older generation should also try to keep up with the information of today's generationWe gain wisdom from all ages. Gone are the days that information is practically owned by the older generation. Because now the young people have their own perspective on life. And they are no longer happy with old life.
Younger generation on the other hand should pay attention to what old people ate dating because this is respect.
Here in India, it is almost impossible to imagine such a scenario. Here the elders command a lot of respect and they even decide the marriage alliances and voting preference for their children and grand-children. If you tell them to listen to the youth, then they will slap you.

As for me, I believe that it is hard for us to let elders listen to us because they have the thing called pride that they might lose they power if they listened to younger people. As an example, I am sharing my ideas to my father who is old already but he refuses to listen whenever I share my ideas and only implements his ideas because he finds it more appropriate because he believes that due to his experience, he already knows the right thing to do.

I believe yes but our elders would believe youth depending on how they live their lives. If a teenager would share something to his grandparents or elderly friends, those people would still find ways to believe it it's true based on the background of the teenager. However, there are also elders who don't believe in teenagers easily because they believe that they have gone to far and they have been through a lot.
Well the elders always believe they know everything and the fact that a person is young or was born by a father or mother,they think that child of theirs has nothing sensible to offer hence they do not seek his or her opinion in decision making process.However,there are some elders who believe in what the youth have to say to them so they seek their opinion in some decision making and consider those views from the youth as important.
Whether old or not, poor or rich and of different races we should listen and heed wisdom. It doesn't matter if the wisdom was said in a gentle voice or otherwise. We should really listen and not just hear. Let's not fall into the trap of thinking that we know everything and that we are always right. Let's not put pride over our search for wisdom so that we could actually pass it down to the next generation. I just hope we do this so we can improve.
yes it can be some elder are listening to youth may be it depend upon what kind of discussion.
elder listen if the have an idea to improved to help their community it kind of sharing and improving their cultural or even behavior.

Lot of things changed and much of it is mastered by young people. We can say that experience is the best advise. So young people need to listen to old people but still, lot of thing has changed. So old people must listen to young people in some ways.

Why not. I think elders will listen to young people of today. The also have something to share. Their wisdom and experiences are different compared to elders. They will learn more from todays generation. Some of the elders knowledge are already obsolete because we are already in the modern age.there are matured youth who can share their ideas with the oldies.
It is not a sin sometimes to hear what other people's opinion even he is your younger brother/sister. All of us have emotions and we always want to say what are true feelings. I am also the benjamin of my family and I am lucky that my family always hear my opinion and suggestions for the goodness of myself and my family.
I promote egalitarianism wherein, we are all here above in earth shall have the equal rights. Rights to express our opinion whether it is helpful or not.

I don't think so to be honest. I can even see it in myself being over critical of the younger generations and I distinctly remember saying I would never do it but I think the difference you get between generations makes it very hard to relate
