Why do many elders have outdated ideas?

There may be multiple answers to this question. Here are some possible reasons:

Traditional education: Many elders receive a more traditional and conservative education, so their concepts and ideas may be conservative.

Social environment: Some elders grew up and lived in different social environments, and their values and concepts may be different from those of modern society, or they may not adapt to the rapidly changing social environment.

Cultural differences: Differences between different cultures may lead to differences in the ideas and concepts of the elders towards the younger generation, which may be related to the birthplace, educational background, religious beliefs and other factors of the elders.

Lack of new knowledge: Some elders may not actively learn and understand new knowledge and new things, resulting in their own ideas and ideas falling behind the times, while the younger generation is more likely to accept new things and new ideas.

For example, some elders may think that women should stay at home and take care of their families and children instead of pursuing career development; They may think that homosexuality is abnormal and should be discriminated against; They may not understand the dependence and enthusiasm of young people on the Internet and social media. These concepts and ideas may be different from the values of modern society, and may also lead to generation gaps and conflicts.
