“家有一老，如有一宝”、“孝顺孝顺，有了孝字就顺了”； “百善孝为先”“笑看夕阳美，人间最温暖“等等 这些都是歌颂赞扬孝敬老人的句子和诗句。 我们从小就被教育要尊敬老师，尊重长辈，礼让小朋友。因为“老师”是一个带有教育意义的职业，在传授知识的同时还教我们如何做人。 所以受到大众的尊重； 而“长辈”是一个相对泛指的词语具有年龄上和心理上的双重划分，只要是比你年长的人都可以称之为“长辈”，但是无论是身居高位或是平头百姓，只要进入这个身份，自然受到应有的尊重。
《礼记·曲礼》中有言：“凡侍立于尊者之侧，宜端正身躯，目光正视，神色肃穆。见人有德于己，当速行下拜，感谢不忘。对尊长之言，当恭谨聆听，如有错听，当即更正。” 所以说，无论老人家是否有文化，是否富有，是否健康，只要他们曾经为社会作出过贡献，为人类进步付出过努力，那么他们退休之后就应该得到全社会的尊重。
林炜嘉优质答主There are many reasons why we should respect our elders. First， they are our parents or our parents’ parents， and we owe it to them to care for them and ensure their happiness. Second， the elderly have more life experience than young people have. They can offer us valuable advice in terms of dealing with challenging problems or important decisions in our life. Therefore， it’s our duty to treat them with compassion.
There are several things we can do to show our care for the elderly. First， we should call and visit our elder relatives on a regular basis and help them with tasks that they cannot do by themselves. Second， we should do things to improve the quality of elder care in our community， such as becoming a volunteer.
