How elder friendly is the community in which you live in
Answer) Our society that we live in is not so elder-friendly. This is due to the fact that elder people are considered as a commodity because of their disabilities attached due to their age. They are sent to separate communities when they gets old. This problem must be solved for providing a better support system for the people who had been there for our whole life.

This will help the elder people to pass on their life-long wisdom to upcoming generations.
