The same thing that happened to common sense and common courtesy. Good question Madea!

It's not something that the Mass Media Culture can sell you. In contrast, it can (and does) constantly try to sell you the New, the Young, the Hip and the Rebellious. Thus, since Age, Wisdom and Experience can't be converted in to a money-making commodity, it gets devalued. . http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0226465551/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top . .

I still respect wisdom and experience but I don't show respect to people solely because they're older than me. My respect is earned, not given, and you don't earn it just by not dying for a long time.

Well no one who is unwise is able to respect anyone who is wise (regardless of their age or experience). They would have to be wise to do so, and, since they are unwise, they can't. It would be like asking a mentally challenged person to solve a complicated math problem. Or something.

All this is taught within the family, therefor the experienced, aged, and those with wisdom have failed. The PC movement and government have interfered with families in regards to raising their children and the results are the questions you asked. We have allowed this and therefor we reap what we sew.

The whole shabangle has just gone out the window. All you youths of today! Up to yer knees in social security and pimples! I ought to give you all a damn good hitting with my walking stick, the lot of you!

I don't know..just when I thought I had all three..I find out they no longer mean anything.

It has been lost recently. I feel like Rodney.

In the past, the village dwellers who lived the longest were generally the wisest. As more and more people lived longer, and societies everywhere become more fragmented, age lost its' mystique.

Those are values that need to be taught. We tend to place greater value on our children than we do for the the adults who shape their lives (teachers, coaches...) So we teach kids that they are the important one and that is not consistant with respect of age, wxperience and wisdom.

First question: Has it really changed? Haven't youths always disregarded the opinions of their elders? Second question: What kind of experience do you have in mind? Can you give me an example of your wisdom?

Its a different world today. How can people respect others, when they do not respect themselves? I am 64. I am proud to wear my police uniform. Do i have respect? 90% of the time. I tell the criminals, "you may not respect me as a person, but you will respect what i stand for". Sometimes, you have to make people see the good in other people. Like i said, how can people respect others, when they do not respect themselves?

It's not gone. It has to do with how you were raised, or where you were raised. It's passed down from the elders in the family. My grandparents are considered to be the most valuable members of the family on both sides. They are kind, wise, and ever present. In our rural community, elders are guiding lights. I can't imagine it any other way. They've led full lives filled with experiences I have yet to know.

- age: people live longer, so old age is no more exceptional. - experience: you can forget a big deal of what you learned before, because it does not apply or is not useful anymore, so experience must be actualized. Experience is no more just growing with age. It could also diminish. - wisdom: stayed as it was. So many wise people and fools as always. And age does not implies wisdom.
