Men and Women of age 20 years..Discussion 1

According to the interview I had with a man and a woman 20 years older than me and also a man and a woman 40 years older than, they both had almost similar points on the issue asked on how a 20 years old man and woman was expected to be. From both points of view they said a man at age 20, is supposed to learn moral standards from their father while growing up. Most of the characteristics of a Father were to be a provider, give protection and lead the family. They said back in the days, when a man goes out to provide for his family, for instance, going to the farm, he doesn’t go alone he takes his sons with him to teach them how to be responsible as a man. It was considered inappropriate for an able bodied man not to be able to provide for his family. The women were known to nurture, preserve and prepare the home for her husband and the children. Based on the way women were viewed at their time, they were not allowed to dress inappropriately because they have to show some sense of decency to the younger one and also to gain respect from men. This attitude gave the young men and women a foundation to build on to live a purposeful, and a fulfilled life. In our present day, men and women of age 20 years have seem to lose some moral values expected of them. These generation are more attention seeking, neglecting the fact that there has to be a cultured way on how things are meant to be done and also knowing that whatever life style, negative or positive will have a lasting impact to the upcoming generation
