tokens: Old and young workers Throughout human history, the offspring has always proved its stronger adaptability and advancement than its predecessor . This is still true in the industrial society nowadays, where younger workers are preferably employed and promoted rather than over-50 workers . There are three reasons that can explain their unresponsiveness to the modern workplace . First and foremost, old workers are not a patch on the younger ones for their unchanged paradigm . The old were raised in poverty, probably caused by war, look at the world from a negative and pessimistic point of view . The misery is so ingrained in their mind that they refuse to change, or more precisely, to accept the existence of such modernity . For example, most would rather choose to piece together parts of a machine than have it done by a robot for their disbelief of its efficiency and safety compared with human's capability . Secondly, their unresponsiveness can be attributed to their attitude towards life . In other words, that they are aware of their deteriorating health and lack of enthusiasm comes with their taste for monotony and safe ideology . This, by all means, is outweigh by youngsters' adventurousness and bravery . Blatantly seen, success of most companies stems from young people, whose enterprising ideas that catch up with the world is regarded as wind of refreshment . Last but not least, knowledge is worth mentioning as a key factor to help young workers outrank the elderly . Who would the employer choose, an old man with old-fashioned education and a young man who is not only good at fundermentaly subject, but also knows how to program or how to speak foreign languages . Not to undermine old workers, but their lack of authority over such basically required fields in this day and age leads to their incompetence in every modern workplace . All in a nutshell, workers over 50 have proven themselves subordinate to the following generation in all aspects . However, in my point of view, it is still of great importance to remain the harmonious coexistence of both sides for the smooth sailing of the company .
