The Fish - Anton Chekhov

With the following quote I want to explain the relationship between "THE FISH" and culture of Colombia today.

"You'd better go, Yefim. An old man like you ought to be minding his own business instead of being here."                              the fish - Anton Chekhov

As stated in the quotation, it is said that old people can not do anything now, just because they are not as young or as skillful, and this is what happens in Colombia, older people are despised  just because they can not do the same things as before. But not in all countries and cultures of the world is like that. In some Asian cultures old people is considered as one emblematic, elders are wise to the culture of Asia, it is the people who longer lived and more wisdom and teachings has.

In North America something  similar happens, the elderly people have very simple work as salespeople in shops, as sellers of tickets, etc.

I think Colombia should be more respectful of these people, and also take the example of Asia and North America.

In conclusion, the different cultures of the world  can't be compare, becouse they are so differents.

And some of these countries should follow these cultures as in the case of Colombia.
