Day of older persons

Description

From childhood we are taught with reverence and respect for the elderly. The first of October is a wonderful excuse to once again demonstrate basic care and attention: make room in public transportation, help the old woman to cross the road, call their grandparents or to do any other Act, because this date is dedicated to the worldwide day of older persons.

This day became the mark even in the 20th century in Europe, and later this tradition and moved to America. Since 1990, the day became international, and since 1992 year he celebrated in Russia.

To celebrate this day is the additional attraction of public attention to the problems and experiences of older people. For their lives they were able to make a significant contribution to the development of our society, and so they, like anyone else, have the right to enforce its social needs and individual needs.

Today, it is no secret that in our society, too little attention is paid to people who have reached old age. They lack the basic care and maintenance, economic, political and cultural support. Therefore, the Day an elderly man vividly underscores the need to change this attitude toward elderly people.

The first of October in our country carried out mass activities, focusing on the elderly population: congresses and conferences of political and social organizations, charity concerts, festivals and various other promotions.

Happy holidays to you, dear pensioners! We hope that you will feel right and your favorite, and not just a day for an elderly person, but in the remaining days of the year.
