Today I decided to do some researching and think of questions that can be asked on our two most possible topics:
- How the elderly are treated in the USA vs other countries
- Life regrets and life lessons.
In this article I read, they compared different countries together based on how they view the elderly and what they think of them.
Sadly America is ranked as one of the lowest. The article states that us Americans usually view the old as grey, hairy wrinkled skin people and they're are often times not given the respect they deserve. However, they state that this is slowly changing. America is now making movements to show that these people are knowledgeable and wise by have small things in society such as "Senior Citizens Day" and "Older Americans Month". On the other hand, they say that countries like Japan and China view their old as precious, wise people who deserve much much respect.
I than viewed some videos and made a list of questions that I could ask are interviewees. Here are the questions I came up with:
- Who is the person who has influenced your life the most?
- What would you tell your 18 year old self?
- What are you most proud of?
- What is the happiest moment of your life?
- How would you like to be remembered?
- If you could go back and change one thing, what would it be?
Until next time!
