1. Different social environments
The social environment in which the elders lived when they were young was very different from that now. When the elders are young, the social environment is relatively simple and people's ways of doing things are relatively simple. The pace of people's life is relatively slow, and the pressure of social competition is also small. Compared with now, modern society is more open, more diverse and has greater psychological pressure. At the same time, modern society tends to encourage individual development and advocate individual consciousness, while elders often emphasize teamwork and collectivism when they are young.
2. Changes in educational methods
When the elders were young, their education methods were mainly family and school. Family education is often very strict, emphasizing discipline and personality shaping. School education is also based on discipline, and students should abide by school rules and regulations. Modern education, on the other hand, pays attention to encouragement and guidance, autonomy and creative thinking, and students' interests and personal development.
3. Different psychological qualities
The education received by the elders as children has helped them develop the qualities of tenacity, courage and patience, and have a better tolerance for setbacks and pains. When they encounter difficulties, they can often think calmly, face the problems bravely and learn from them. However, modern people's psychological quality is relatively fragile, and they are more likely to have psychological problems such as anxiety and depression due to setbacks and pressures.
In short, although the education received by the elders as children was rougher than now, they adapted to the social environment and educational methods at that time. Great changes have taken place in the present social and educational methods. We need to pay attention to and adapt to the needs of modern society and cultivate healthy psychological quality to adapt to future development.
