Abstract

We are all equal and have the right to live a dignified life no matter our age.
As we get older our human rights, our political, social, economic rights, do not get
weaker, or they do not have an expiration dat. Our human rights are governed and
should be respected until the end. But in reality, this is not the case. Young gener�ations feel that old people are a burden to the system, since the concept used in
most countries is that young workforce pays for the pensions of the elderly. They
are also a burden to the health care system as we saw during the Covid pandemic.
Therefore, these and other view points or state of mind should change since we all
have the fundamental right to life as well as to the other human rights no matter
our age.
