Age: Youth & Old Age

            What do you think is the best age to be? Explain your opinion.
            Some people say that men age better than women, and remain attractive longer - do you agree? Explain your opinion.
            Some people say that men never grow up, they just get bigger - do you agree? Explain your opinion.
            Some people say that young women are usually 2 to 3 years more mature than young men - do you agree? Explain your opinion.
            Are young people generally more selfish than their parents and grandparents?
            Does age make you more aware of and caring for others?
Also consider:
- Conservatism / liberalism             
- close-minded / open-minded             
- tolerant/intolerant             
- optimistic / pessimistic / sarcastic / cynical
            Should adults try to teach young people lessons, such as the dangers of drinking too much, taking drugs or catch the AIDS virus, or should they leave them alone to find out about these things themselves?

- What are the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches?
            Are there many things that the old can teach the young or are they hopelessly out of touch by the time they reach a certain age?

- What things were you taught by your older family members?
     - How have they been useful to you in your life?
            Most countries give young people rights as they reach a certain age. For example, British people can legally make love or fight for their country at the age of 16; they can drink, vote and drive a car when they are 18.
- Does Korea have similar laws?
- Do you think that any of the age limits need changing?
            Some people think you should give something to society before you have the right to join it. Should young people have to do some form of military or community service by law?
