Question

Does every older generation want to get society back to what they consider to be the "good old days"?

Answer 1

remember if you are young .. these are the good old days for you ...

   I personally had a ball in my good old days .. but we must progress ... of course politics is the same old c**p.

Answer 2

Yes. I think most are grateful for the technology of today, especially medically speaking.

However, life has become very complex and full of choice. There are many grey areas now, I think the older generations prefer the black and white.  

Answer 3

I believe the majority does. Especially living in a time when changes are happening at such a high speed. We all prefer the known to the unknown. No matter how bad things might have been in the past, that's the part we've already conquered, so it's a much safer place to live, if you understand what I mean. It's the unknown and the unfamiliar that, as we age, we have less desire to deal with. **I'm speaking in generalities here**

Answer 4

yep

Answer 5

People of all generations can be found yearning for a "Golden Age in the past", even if the one of which they speak never really existed.  I don't think that's so much a matter of age as of lack of hope for the future.

Answer 6

And in 50 years will you say the same. Our younger days will always seem to be better. Younger less responsibility, more energy and time.
