I believe this reading covers very important topics related to culture and tradition, emphasizing the education of children and young people.

- I’m surprised by the evolution of family customs; it used to be very important to gather as a family for dinner and to share, whereas now many people live in haste without those deeply rooted traditions. This reflects a broader cultural shift toward a faster-paced and more individualistic lifestyle, where family traditions are no longer as significant.

- I’m struck by the drastic change in dating rules. In Eugenia Hartley’s era, going out with someone required parental permission and a certain minimum age; today, however, many teenagers and even children have more freedom, which shows that modern society grants young people more independence.

- I find it very interesting how the way we address elders has changed. In the past, formal expressions such as “sir” or “ma’am” were used to show respect, but now people tend to call others by their first name, reflecting a cultural shift toward informality. However, this also depends on the relationships and levels of trust that exist.
