Do you think the media is the same today as when your grandparents were children? Why or why not?
Answers
Yes, I can see the difference.
My grandparents worked very hard and would not change the job. They were loyal to their boss and their company. They thought that changing jobs meant that you were not capable or you were not a mature person.
They believed that working hard was the only way to make lives become better. I think it was because they did not receive much education and thus there were not many choices for them. The only thing they could do to earn a living was to work very very hard.
Besides, they accepted everything happened to them. They though that everything was meant to be.. For example , if you are born to be poor, it meant that you are destined to be poor. It was very hard for you to change your destiny, so better accept it and do your best to earn a living.
I am not sure why they think in this way. Actually, many people in my grandparents' age also think in the same way. I just guess maybe the opporunties for them to study and to work were slim at that time . And therefore, they could not really do much to change their life.
Furthermore, I find that my grandparents cherished their friends and relatvies very much. They met friends and relatives when they had time. They would talk and share for hours. They phoneed each other. They would send presents to friends and relatives from time to time.
And I think we always "talk" to our friends online or know what our friends have done recently through digtal platforms. However, we don't meet our friends in person so frequently.
Things change from generation to generation. We cannot say that our grandparents are old-fasioned. No ! They have their lifestyles. And sometimes we can learn from them, learn the values behind what they did to themselves, to their relative, to their friends and to us !

Answer:
The state is bound to the south by the Bangladeshi divisions of Mymensingh and Sylhet, to the west by the Bangladeshi division of Rangpur, and to the north and east by India's State of Assam. The capital of Meghalaya is Shillong. During the British rule of India, the British imperial authorities nicknamed it the "Scotland of the East".[9] Meghalaya was previously part of Assam, but on 21 January 1972, the districts of Khasi, Garo and Jaintia hills became the new state of Meghalaya. English is the official language of Meghalaya. Unlike many Indian states, Meghalaya has historically followed a matrilineal system where the lineage and inheritance are traced through women; the youngest daughter inherits all wealth and she also takes care of her parents.[9]
The state is the wettest region of India, with the wettest areas in the southern Khasi Hills recording an average of 12,000 mm (470 in) of rain a year.[8] About 70 percent of the state is forested.[10] The Meghalaya subtropical forests ecoregion encompasses the state; its mountain forests are distinct from the lowland tropical forests to the north and south. The forests are notable for their biodiversity of mammals, birds, and plants.
Meghalaya has predominantly an agrarian economy with a significant commercial forestry industry. The important crops are potatoes, rice, maize, pineapples, bananas, papayas, spices, etc. The service sector is made up of real estate and insurance companies. Meghalaya's gross state domestic product for 2012 was estimated at ₹16,173 crore (US$2.3 billion) in current prices.[11] The state is geologically rich in minerals, but it has no significant industries.[9] The state has about 1,170 km (730 mi) of national highways. It is also a major logistical center for trade with Bangladesh.[8]
In July 2018, the International Commission on Stratigraphy divided the Holocene epoch into three,[12][13] with the late Holocene being called the Meghalayan stage/age,[14][15] since a speleothem in Mawmluh cave indicating a dramatic worldwide climate event around 2250 BCE had been chosen as the boundary stratotype.[16]
