From my survey, I observed that Americans are afraid of growing old. They feel that after they are growing old, they still have to work is very suffer. They think that after retirement, they should enjoy their lives and do whatever they want; but, as an American, they have to work more than other people due to the higher expenses in the United States. Besides of that, they also would not stay with their children whenever they grow old. This is because most of their children are working and they would not have time to take care of their parents. These entire situations are different in Malaysia. In Malaysia, the elderly are respected by the younger. The younger are taking care of the elder but not leaving them alone.

I guess even thought children leave their parents alone. However, if their parents have emergency, they would help their parents directly.
ReplyDeleteThe situation for the elderly is the same as in my country too. If they get older,they are take care by thier children.
