Parents` views and Young persons` thoughts about the world Parent: - I know what life is like. If you have any sense take my advice. Young person: - the world has changed since you were young. You don’t understand our problem today. Besides we ought to be free to do what we like. What are your views on this argument? As an old saying goes all that is old is not necessarily good and all that is new is also not necessarily bad; the wise person weighs between these two maxims before he arrives any conclusion.
