1, it is normal for the older generation to be experienced and good teachers. On the one hand, I don't want the younger generation to repeat the same mistakes, on the other hand, pointing out the mountains and rivers can naturally satisfy their vanity. The older generation thinks it is their duty to educate the younger generation. Therefore, they will think that if they don't pass on their knowledge and experience to the younger generation, it is a sign of dereliction of duty, so they will appear to be "good teachers."
Education also gives the older generation a possible sense of accomplishment.
By educating the younger generation, after the younger generation has repeatedly avoided losses or achieved some achievements, the older generation has gained a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. The older generation has accumulated some experiences and lessons, hoping that young people will not make mistakes and suffer losses on the same thing, and that the younger generation will accelerate their success and take fewer detours.
Educating the younger generation can reflect their own identity.
Influenced by some ideologies and concepts, some people of the older generation will gain a sense of existence and control through education. Because preaching is one of the means for people with higher status to show their authority, I like educating people because I like being in a leading position.
Educating the younger generation may also be the expression of love that adults think. Education is a social activity to cultivate people consciously, in which family education and school education are basically the education of the older generation to the younger generation. Whether parents treat their children or teachers treat their students, they are essentially manifestations of love.
5. Educating people is the instinctive reaction of physiological continuation.
In fact, there is some truth in this statement. The continuity of biology is actually the animal instinct of human beings. Since ancient times, especially in ancient times, in order to ensure the continuation of the population, educating future generations has become an almost instinctive consciousness, and this responsibility often naturally falls on the older generation with certain production and hunting experience.
In addition, it's not just the older generation who like to educate people. People who think they can get something like educating people. Regardless of age, status, industry and seniority, everyone's selection criteria and motivation for educating people are surprisingly consistent: I just feel that you are not as good as yourself in these aspects, and I am willing to help you.
