Over the past 50 years, young people have gained status and power but old people have lost. What is the cause and is it a good development or bad development? What is your viewpoint on this?

1The knowledge-based society witnessed great changes over the past decades. Many young people have taken the place of 2older people and gainedthe old ones and gained political and financial power in the world. 3Bill Gates, the director of Microsoft, Tony Blaire, Prime Minister of Britain and Bush, President of the USA give us a vivid illustration. From my point of view, the trend is natural and inevitable. Young people are energetic and vigorous. Most of them have received formal education 4atin university, where they 5gained extensive knowledge and experienceacquired abundant knowledge and experience, which are quite 6essential for their future careersessential to their future career. 7Compared with young people, old people's knowledge is outdated, which does not fit in with the development of the current society. Old people react more slowly than young people, who can always make quick 8judgmentsjudges and prompt decisions. Furthermore, young people are more open-minded than old people who have a 9tendency to be conservativetendency of conservation. Therefore, young people can 10adapt toadapt themselves to the 11changingchangeable world more easily. Obviously, this trend brings about both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, 12young leaders and influential figuresyoung leaders and powers can 13bring vigour and new hope to the worldinject vigour and new hopes to the world, which not only benefits the development of the global economy but also establishes multilateral 14relationsrelation 15among countriesamong the countries in the world. On the other hand, young people still lack adequate experience and skills to deal with 16complexsophisticated national problems and international relations. As a result, many young leaders in the world are often 17criticised by older people for lacking tactical experiencecriticised for the lack of tactics by old people. Some young people are 18overly radical when facing problemsvery radical when faced with trouble. They still have a lot of things to learn. Generally, old people should offer 19younger peopleyoung guys opportunities to 20developpractice their abilities and talents. At the same time, young people should 21learn humbly from older peoplelearn from old ones modestly and make themselves more admirable.
