Perhaps, the most important role of any social group is an opportunity to control a personality. At least it is much easier to arrange control over somebody if he is kept within the bounds in a society.
  • A person is a social body and he lives in accordance with the social laws. Desirable or no, but every of us belongs to a certain age group and becomes an important part of this big alive machine – a society.
  • Definition of a person is expressed with such questions as “Who am I?”, “What am I doing in this world?”, “What company do I belong?”, “How other people do accept me?” and similar ones.
  • Among six-milliard population of the Earth, the middle age group and the older group are more numerous. People start the families and bear the children as usual. Nevertheless, the number of the youth is critically decreases. Actually why?
  • Every person is trying to find some advantage for himself in the communication with older or younger people. As a main cause of any contact, communication preserves its position in the formation of the social groups.
 
 
 

Age groups in a society

During all the generations, mystery of a human life is one of the most wonderful ability of an alive being. This ability to give birth to a child, is the start of the new lives, a way that is coming through many years and giving us much joy and sorrow, happiness and troubles, but however it is troublesome and dual, it is precious - a human life.

During a life journey, a person passes some stages that divide his life into the very definite parts – a baby, a child, a teenager, a mature person and an old person.

When I was a child, my only dream was to stay a child forever. I do not know why, but I had never thought about an opportunity to become an adult and possess all the responsibilities... it was so great to stay a child forever, play with my friends and enjoy all the advantages of the young age. However, time is flowing very quickly and later the new horizons open before a person. In any case, a person finds many people of the same age, share the interests and hobbies with them, experience, work... As a person is a social being, it is impossible to imagine somebody alone, the so-called "a person in a case" (in spite of the fact that such cases are well known in the world literature). Anyway as an average person, someone feels more comfortable in a company of people who correspond to him in some occasion – in accordance with the habits, hobbies, work, family connections and so on and so forth. It is very difficult to imagine a person somewhere in the far area, in an old and very lonely hut, located somewhere in the forest where a human step is not found. Who could live in such conditions, without a human word, for a long time and would not become a wild "baby of the forests"? Only Robinson Crusoe or Mowgly, but they are not guilty that they turned to be in the undesirable conditions! Therefore, a person is a social body and he lives in accordance with the social laws. Desirable or no, but every of us belongs to a certain age group and becomes an important part of this big alive machine – a society.

As for me, I do not mind to be a body of a society as a representative of one of the age groups; simply I do not want to lose my own personality in all the mess of human beings. So, live in a society, act like a member of my group, be absorbed by all the rules and dominants of my own age group, but at the same time stay a PERSON – that is important.
