Today, culture is very different. Like Eugenia says, there are many changes in social, emotional, and family life. Older people see these changes more because things were very different before. For example, families do not eat together now. Everyone has their own time because of work, school, or busy life. This makes people forget about respect and family time.

Before, all the family ate the same food and waited for everyone to finish. Now, people don’t even drink coffee together. Life is fast, and old traditions are lost. Romantic relationships also changed. In the past, young people needed permission from parents to go out. Now, children and teenagers have boyfriends or girlfriends. They have more freedom, but they lose important parts of childhood.

Also, the way we talk to older people is different. Before, people said “sir” or “ma’am” to show respect. Now, some young people call their parents by name like friends. This is more informal, but sometimes it is not respectful.
