Question

write a essay of 200 words on ARE OLD PEOPLE SAFE

Answer 1

In India, around 2/3rd of the population is below or close to 30, so does talking about old age problems (which exist) sound awkward?
Consider this, out of every 10 elderly couples in India, more than 6 are forced by their children to leave their homes. With no place to go and all hopes lost, the elderly have to resort to old age homes, which do not guarantee first class treatment. In India, unlike USA, parents do not leave their children on their own after they turn 18 (of course there are exceptions), but children find it hard to accept the fact that there are times when parents want to feel the love that they once shared with them. There are times when parents just want to relax and want their children to reciprocate their care. Every parent wants to see their child grow and be successful but no parent wants their child to treat them like an unnecessary load on their responsibilities.
Every other day, we see news of parents being beaten up by their children, parents and in-laws being forced to do the household chores, being made to live in small dungeon-like rooms, their property being forcefully taken over by over ambitious children.

Answer 2

There lies a great threat to the people turning old these days. They are exposed to the real world where no one cares much for them. The old people get exploited and sometimes are subjected to extreme humiliation by their own children. Once the people start to age they are considered outdated and not of the present era and hence are not given much importance. They are subjected to much pain when their own offspring do not value them and leave them behind in such a crucial age of theirs.
