Question

What are 3 things that we can do as a society to shift respect more towards middle/older individuals?

Answer 1

nothing....Respect towards adults all depends on how you were raised....however, an adult or adolescent who has never been taught to respect his\her elders , will never learn....You can't teach an old dog new tricks

Answer 2

In this technological society of mass distraction and non-connectedness with your neighbors and society I think it's almost an impossible task.

I guess the main things is for parents to teach their kids to treat older people with dignity.  Their is a basic human respect that needs to be given to everyone but real respect needs to be earned.
