The elderly have made great contributions to the development of the country and society, and have also added warmth and color to our lives. However, China's aging population is becoming more and more serious, and problems such as elderly care, health, labor, national and social pressures are emerging one after another.
Some people even believe that if the elderly die on a large scale, although they no longer need to pay pensions, they may reduce the financial burden, improve economic efficiency, and ease the shortage of resources. This view is extremely wrong and dangerous, ignoring the significance and value of older people to society, as well as the greater harm that can be caused by the mass death of older people.
1. The elderly have an irreplaceable role in society
Older people are not only our kinship bonds, but also the foundation of our culture. They are an integral part of our family and community, and they support our growth and well-being with their love and care.
They are also witnesses to the history of our nation and country, and they use their experiences and stories to pass on our culture and spirit. Without old age, we would lose a part of our identity and memory. Older people are also a treasure trove of knowledge and a driving force for innovation.
They have a wealth of experience and skills, and they can use their expertise and strengths in a variety of fields. They can provide a wide variety of services and products to society, as well as provide guidance and assistance to the younger generation. They can also contribute to social progress and innovation by constantly updating their knowledge and abilities through lifelong learning and participation in social activities.
Second, mass deaths will have serious consequences for society
The mass death of the elderly will have a multifaceted impact and loss on society. First of all, it will upset the balance and stability of society. As an important group in the social structure, there is a complex and delicate relationship between the elderly and other groups.
If the elderly disappear suddenly, it will lead to an imbalance in the social structure and affect social functioning and order. For example, there is a relationship of interdependence and support between the elderly and their children, without whom the children will lose an emotional and material breadwinner and face more stress and difficulties.
At the same time, there is a relationship between the elderly and their grandchildren to educate and influence each other, and without the elderly, the grandchildren will lose a moral and intellectual guidance, and will also lack a traditional culture and values inheritance.
Second, it will undermine the development and innovation of society. As an important part of society's resources, older people have great potential and value. If the elderly die on a large scale, it will lead to the waste and loss of social resources, affecting social development and innovation.
For example, the elderly are the intellectual resources of the society, they have a wealth of knowledge and experience, they can provide a variety of professional and technical services to the society, and they can also create a variety of new products and models for the society.
At the same time, the elderly are the human resources of the society, they have a strong enthusiasm for work and a sense of responsibility, they can provide a variety of voluntary and public welfare activities for the society, and can also cultivate and train various talents for the society.
Finally, it will affect the morality and civilization of society. As an important benchmark in social morality, the elderly have high moral character and demeanor. If the elderly die on a large scale, it will lead to the lack and decline of social morality, affecting social civilization and progress.
For example, the elderly are moral role models for the society, they have good qualities such as integrity, filial piety, friendliness, dedication, etc., they can establish a positive image and values for the society, and they can also create a good atmosphere and atmosphere for the society.
At the same time, the elderly are the moral educators of the society, they have rich life wisdom and educational methods, they can teach the society moral norms and codes of conduct, and they can also cultivate moral awareness and sense of responsibility for the society.
epilogue
To sum up, the elderly have an irreplaceable role in society, and the mass death of the elderly will bring serious consequences to society. Therefore, we should respect and care for the elderly, protect and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, and promote and support the health, happiness and development of the elderly.
We should recognize that older persons are our wealth rather than a burden, our partners rather than our adversaries, and our hopes rather than obstacles. We should work with the elderly to build an inclusive, friendly, harmonious and progressive society.
