How can schools and care facilities foster meaningful interactions between children and the elderly?

 @9JP2VYF from Ohio answered…3mos3MO

Schools can have visits to nursing homes where they provide interaction between kids and the elderly in order to provide a more connected community.

 @9JNZ45QPeace and Freedom from Texas answered…3mos3MO

They could make visits to elderly homes so the children can do a 'report' on their life and learn some new things and gain knowledge from the elderly.

 @9JNYZCFRepublican from New York answered…3mos3MO

Have mandatory school days where children are introduced to elderly who give them life lessons.

 @9JNYXBFWomen’s Equality from Oregon answered…3mos3MO

take care of elderly how babies were taken care of when they were at one point at where they are today

If you could share a meal with a senior from any era, who would it be and what would you ask them?

 @9KWL7YXPeace and Freedom from North Carolina answered…2mos2MO

Meals on Wheels America is the leadership organization supporting the more than 5,000 community-based programs across the country that are dedicated to addressing senior isolation and hunger.

 @9KWL59L from Pennsylvania answered…2mos2MO

Definitely the holocaust survivor just to understand what they went through and how they survived

 @9KWXQQH from California disagreed…2mos2MO

I would share a meal with David Stern so I could ask him if he rigged games when he was commissioner

 @9KWL5QB from Michigan answered…2mos2MO

Bro. Robin Williams. He's awesome and I'd just chat with him about life and why he chose to live life so happily when he was struggling

How important is it to include elderly voices in conversations about our future?

 @9H9JH63 from New Mexico answered…6mos6MO

Depending on the situation at hand their voices should be heard if it is something beneficial to the future.

 @9H6MZPWfrom Maine answered…6mos6MO

Only if their opinion is aligned with the bettering of the future for younger generations. If elderly voices try to impose the values of society from when they were young on the future, their voices should not be taken seriously

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How could the education system benefit from regular involvement of the elderly?

 @9HY73YDDemocrat  from Nevada answered…4mos4MO

: Participation in and perceptions of an educational delivery system. ... Elderly interests in the expressive domain. Educational

 @9HY9LKN from Minnesota answered…4mos4MO

I don't think it would benefit that much. I think social security should not be a thing. It was good at the time but now people should plan for their own future. We don't need to bring in the eldery to educate us about this topic. We should not be dependent on our government because then they have to much control over us. I do think they should talk about the abuse they have and mental health. Also making our city more elderly-friendly will not hurt. All elderly have the same rights of everyone else. They should not be treated different.

 @9HY9MLJ from Tennessee answered…4mos4MO

The elderly could discuss important topics with students and help to educate them.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

What are some ways we can all prepare now for a better quality of life in our senior years?

 @9HTTKR3Independence from Kentucky answered…4mos4MO

We can offer more preventive screenings that are covered by the government. If we find problems early it would lead to a better quality of life for our seniors.

 @9HTSY9Janswered…4mos4MO

Work as much as possible to gain enough money to put towards retirement.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How would the world be different if seniors were the primary decision-makers?

 @9H9LTGB from New York answered…6mos6MO

 @9H9JKLGfrom Guam answered…6mos6MO

Seniors are currently making most decisions. Biden is 81 and trump was 74 at the end of his presidency. Having old people in charge doesn’t seem to have done much as far as I’m aware.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Have you ever had a moment that made you truly appreciate the knowledge of an older person?

 @9HHCJMH from Illinois answered…5mos5MO

To be honest yes, because it helped me prevent more issues that they experience in my age, as well as solutions for me to solve from my conflicts/ problems.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How can we better integrate the elderly into our communities and everyday activities?

 @9HCWVPH from Colorado answered…6mos6MO

Creating areas in public places that the elderly should be able to enjoy as well.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How should the world change to accommodate the growing number of elderly people?

 @9HGL4VPDemocrat from Texas answered…5mos5MO

There should be better health care for the elderly. More assisted living should be provided to them, or even building more elderly homes would do them some good.

 @9HGKY3T from Utah answered…5mos5MO

Maybe more occupations to accommodate the elderly if there is no family for them, better old homes, no payment required and government funding should go to creating homes for them.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Why do you think some societies revere their elderly while others seem to overlook them?

 @9HJ8Y2JRepublican from Georgia answered…5mos5MO

because some people see them as a wise and respected but some people just dont show respect at all

 @9HJ7TV3Democrat from Virginia answered…5mos5MO

The perception of the elderly varies across societies due to cultural, economic, and historical factors. Societies that value wisdom, experience, and intergenerational connections often revere their elderly. In contrast, societies focusing more on youth or facing economic challenges might overlook older individuals as they may be seen as less economically productive. Cultural values play a significant role in shaping attitudes toward the elderly.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

In what ways can we capture and preserve the wisdom of older generations for the future?

 @9KWSCFL from Montana answered…2mos2MO

To capture and preserve the wisdom of older generations within the context of "Elderly Interests," initiatives such as oral history projects, intergenerational dialogue, digital archiving, elderly education programs, community libraries and centers, collaborative research projects, artistic expression, and policy advocacy can be implemented.

 @9KWS7T9 from California answered…2mos2MO

Allow the elderly to have a greater hand in the school system, by perhaps offering opportunities for guest speakers based on the career of the old person in question and the expertise they can share on their career in regards to their triumphs and mistakes, what they would have done differently, and what they would advice the youth to do.
