You understand that we should pay regard to our old people. Now, you write an article on the topic 'Modern society has become insensitive towards old people.

    Answer:

                    Modern Society has Become Insensitive towards Old People Sensitivity is a quality of a human being. We should be sensitive towards old people. They deserve to be treated with great care and love. They spent their whole life in support of their children. Now it is the duty of their children that they must look after them and give them moral support so that they may not feel alone and helpless in their old age. If we have a glance at modern society, we find the people considering their parents as a tiresome burden. They have forgotten the time when they were not capable to survive in the world without the help of their parents. They possess an apathetic view towards others. This insensitivity is found more towards the elderly people. Old parents and grandparents are treated as servants and everyone wishes them to depart from this world. The modern day urban people have become materialistic and pretentious. They ignore their duties towards their elders. We should improve our moral values and take care of our elders. By this, we can make the world beautiful and happy.
