The thing is the mindset of the 1950s-1970s was that elders are higher up, that's the Asian culture. It's hard to repel culture and adopt a more universal culture. Based on respect for each other, rather than one directional respect.Originally posted by spadeTwo:they everytime say this 1....

For example... I repeatedly tell an elder to change an row adaptor (for computer) cos it's low quality, cheap and unsafe. Might catch fire. He doesn't listen... Then one day his brother came to my house and sees the adaptor. He says it's unsafe and might catch fire. Then next day, tada! A new adaptor.Originally posted by spadeTwo:sadly...my mum still has this thinking...
Mindsets are hard to change. Yes it's culture but... respect has to be two way rather than dead one way. -

The traditional Asian idea of respect is young respect elders (or people of lower 'status' respect higher 'status' people) and that's it.
Now it's about mutual, 2 way respect. -
Just ask Eric Cartman, he shares your sentiments.
