"Of Youth and Age"
Central Argument: Sir Francis bacon believed that a man young in his years was not be compared to man of age. I agree because of the generation gap that is present, difference of opinion, and what history has to show.
Sir Francis Bacon was an English man that lived sometime in the 16 to 17 century. He was an old man of many talents and occupations. His view on age difference of man was that the youth were not to be compared to an older man. He said that the errors of young men, are the ruin of business. In his time, only few men of his age and quality were worth considering, just like him there were others like Shakespeare, Julius Caesar etc. In a family the father was considered the head of the family, there was no reasoning or difference in thought among the youth and the parent. It was and is still considered foolish for the youth in the family to go against the word of the parent.
My reason for agreement of his statement is because of the generation gap between the elders and youth. This gap is the cause for a lot a difference. Elders don't understand the youth, and, they have no respect the youth. The elders are stuck in their time capsule, and can only relate to up to their knowledge limit. Rapid technological advances have made it hard for others and easier for the youth to understand. The old and the young are like to parties fighting to get simple messages across.
The difference of opinion is needed in any debate or argument. The youth always have a different opinion because they always want to move ahead in their research, while older people like to hold on to old ways. The youth have imaginary and visions while the older generation believe in practise. The youth is also very hasty i decision making on an average make the choice, which is not always the best one, while the elders take a long time to make a decision. They know what is right or wrong. The youth has little experience, while elders have knowledge gained through the years.
Throughout history, from the time of Sir Francis Bacon, to present there have been very few men or women who became famous in their youth. Everyone else was an older person, a person that had the experience, time and ideas. In the present, i can only think of Mark Zuckerberg, who is the CEO of Facebook. he created facebook at he age of there is no else,
The generation gap, difference of onions and what history has shown us, is what i believe is the reason that Sir Francis Bacon is right.
