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
I totally agree with you that we gain wisdom from all ages, but getting older doesn't mean that we are wiser. That's why because the older ones don' t have the are not open to listening to the younger ones. Getting older doesn't mean that you have achieved in life all the things you could have known, but some of them act like this like they know everything.

Why not? It is true we gained wisdom from all ages but Elders also gained wisdom for the youth ages. Elders and Youth are only both same in terms of doing wrong and good things.
The elders should also listen to young people.
Young people of the modern generation.
Because not everything that is said by the elders is always right, and neither is it spoken by young people always wrong.
So look what's said if it's something right then listen and accept even though the truth is coming from a modern young man.

Well for one thing, information nownis readily available. It is also true that the older generations don't have the monopoly on information anymore. But fact of the matter is experienxe is the best teacher and we have to admit, the older generations has it in bulk. The youth shouldn't be arrogant to the point that they know everything. Besides, the youth today doesn't have the discipline or the spine forged in hardship like the previous generation did. What we could do is refine what the previous generation perfected.
i aggree with you, even within this post you can see youths being arrogant and elders saying that they have experience and that they know better. youths are not the leaders of tommorrow ,leaders are leaders,it doesnt matter how old you are. i also think that yes information is passed differently nowadays but it is still passed by someone wise ,the information that we value at least.All people experience a different world,what we can only do is try to better it for everyone's sake. Anyone who states they know better is a fool,time will tell though eventually.

I think they should listen to the Youth today, but in return we should still give them respect them for their opinions. We could make a way to make them unerstand that not everything is the same as they were during their generation. So there are a big difference with the perspective of their generation and the younger generation these days. The elders should also accept that these changes are inevitable and they have to live with what the society is right now and what it will become.
Perhaps the elder generation has actually realized that their thoughts are not in line with the times. My grandfather likes to ask me what I do, how about my school, how about my job. He was curious about how the world works today. Though occasionally my grandfather interrupts as if he doesn't accept, but he listens to what I'm talking to the end. They don't completely close themselves to the younger generation, they may disagree, but they understand it. Because they have lived long, they become wise in addressing a thing. They are aware of the times that they live is different.
I think so. We are in an Era were everyone's voice was being heard. Gone are the days were Elders words are like the word of everyone else. Youth are free to say what they want. Most of the time they make mistakes but sometimes they make Elders realize that there might be something that can be done. Instead of doing things because of tradition, maybe there is something that can make our lives better. Youth can make Elders to think twice.
There are some elders that listen to the youth but there are also some who values their old tradition. The youth should also listen to the elders because they've have already been in their shoes. They know the ropes and all the things this world can do. But as a youth, we also should pick out the knowledge that we can use because not all of the things elders know is are helpful.
I think that both youth and elders have to listen to each other. A lot of elders listen to youth these days. Young people are the future, they understand that. It would be easier for them to guide the youth on the right path if they listen.
I wish they should trying and listen to we youths because we are being called the leaders of tomorrow.thus,the period we are into now is postmodernism period in which we youths knows much more better than the elders through globalization

Yes , Sometimes most of the youth have a goal in life , like for example mother and daughter . Mother should listen to her child to make her child happier than force her child to what the mother wants her to be in the future .
We must give value in every opinion. Whatever, if its is Youth or old people. Just try to recognize and realize each situation.

Plz, plz and plz, watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD0x7ho_IYc
There is soo much that each generation can lear from each other
I, myself, asked my grandmother how she - who doesnt know how to turn on the pc - find five 'good morning' cats per day to send through whatsapp
I think, not all of them will listen to young people. It's too difficult to change your mind when you are old
Age does not makes one an elder. It is information that makes you elder. Information makes the difference. any youth that has what it takes (information) to counsel an elder; it will be foolishness on the elders part not to listen to him.
Nowadays children has slightly unrespecful to some elders specially in the youth because if you can see and compared to the old man before from the new generation as of now well be able has a big different between attitude unlike to the old people before in that case, sometimes elder person would be hear to listen from some youth related from other social activities as guild to operate from their activity related by using technology,
Yes, sometimes because this time this generation theres a lot thing they dont know.
The youth have google as well.
The elders however are still very much traditional that they still want you to listen to them and if you don't they will consider you disrespectful. My grandparents still believed that I should be investing on properties while all I want is to spend it on crypto. They don't listen to me after all the funds I got from crypto that I have even bought them a truck for their coconut products.
Oh yeah. The elders can listen to the youth if they (the youth) put up a good behavior at all times.

To be honest I listen on my grandfather and grandmother because it is true though the words of wisdom , but as of now , now a days we can't say that if elders teach youth I think still youth will controlled or will not listen because as a teen too , we wanted some thrill , fun and excitement , we are stubborn on so many ways. I think it youth will not listen to it , maybe just some.
It would be great if people would be open to listen to people who are younger than them because maturity is not measured through age. It would be like seeing things with fresh eyes.
With proper approach, of course they will listen. Respecting these elders of their beliefs will make them respect us new generations back. We just have to be patient with them because their not young enough the get these new knowledge.

Well most adult or elderly people don't listen to young ones because they think that they are older and that they are more experienced than them. I really think that it's not that bad to listen to other's opinion even if they are young or old. Age is not a factor when it comes to experience and knowledge.
Yes, of course, elders should listen to the youth voices. Because it is really very necessary to develop a youth mind. Youth are the future of the generation. They need to be guided properly. If the elders listen to them, then it will be easier to guide youth on the right track.
But now almost 50% elders are listening to the youth voices and appreciating them.That is really a very positive sign for our civilization.

When it comes to formulating innovative ideas and galvanising action, it is clear that we older generations have much to learn from young people.
They are not apathetic or disengaged; they are simply savvy enough to know that we are not listening to them.
We must not only address the dispiriting abyss of youth unemployment, but ensure that young people drive the discussions that shape their lives.
It is therefore unsurprising that young people have been at the forefront of the world’s mass protests in recent years.
They are rightly angry that while others in particular the old political and financial institutions were deemed too important or too big to fail, they are considered too small to matter.

Actually, If anyone tell truths and most important things , everyone must listen to that person. Doesn't matter, He or she is younger or elder.
Of course yes once the youths have something to offer
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.
