Since my grandparents turned Eighty, they have had trouble driving to the market. They are constantly being run off the road because they drove too slow, and the people behind them constantly honk. Since my Asian culture teaches respect for the elderly, I feel it is my responsibility to take them to Hoching Asian market every Sunday after work. To my disappointment, I had found that in the American society, the elderly are often shipped off to uncaring nursing homes. Too often the elderly are looked upon as decaying members of society that should be forgotten about, but to me the elderly should be treated with respect and honor that should become with a person who has a lifetime of experience. Last night, I watched Happy Gilmore, a movie about an ice Hockey player who becomes a professional golfer to save his grandmother from the terrors of living in a nursing home. The elderly people were made to work long hours in making rugs. Eventhough it was only a movie, but it portrays the problem in the real life. I had an old neighbor who was around Seventy, he was an soldier who being to the Vietnam War when he was young. He got kick out of his family to a nursing home because he had a problem taking care of himself. But you never know an useless old man who had done so much proud stuffs when he was young, and his family just forget what he have done.
