Let’s dive into an issue that has been simmering beneath the surface of our urban communities for quite some time . A topic that’s often overlooked in the bustling world of radio and media. We’re talking about the widening generational gap and the escalating tensions between the young and the old within our communities. This piece sheds light on an incident that occurred a few years , which led to a heated debate over respect, discipline, and the role we all play in maintaining order within our communities. Let’s revisit this incident, discuss the implications, and consider the lessons learned as we navigate the changing dynamics of our urban landscapes in 2025.
Reflections on Respect and Discipline
It’s undeniable that some of our younger generation have displayed a lack of discipline and respect for their elders. This was starkly highlighted in an incident where an older man felt compelled to discipline a younger individual for disrespecting him on public transport. The older man’s frustration is palpable as he exclaims, “I’m tired of these young individuals thinking somebody’s playing with them.”
Struggles of the Older Generations
Many of us, particularly those over 40, can empathize with the older man’s plight. A -on-bet” target=”_blank”> man, presumably working a legitimate job and likely facing his fair share of struggles, he represents the frustrations of a generation that feels increasingly disrespected and disregarded.
The Shift in Community Dynamics
Regrettably, the respect once accorded to elders in our communities seems to have diminished significantly. Many of us over 40 were raised to honor and respect our elders, whereas today, it appears this respect is often lacking. This shift in attitude has undeniably contributed to a breakdown in community cohesion and respect.
The Need for Meaningful Connections
The incident under discussion here illustrates a deep-seated issue. The younger individual returns to confront the older man multiple times, suggesting a subconscious desire for connection and discipline. This raises crucial questions about the role of father figures in our communities and the profound impact absentee fathers can have on our youth.
As we reflect on this incident and its implications, let’s remember that we all play a role in nurturing our communities and shaping the upcoming generations. The challenges are significant, but so too are the opportunities for change and growth. Let’s strive to bridge the gap between the old and the young, fostering mutual respect and understanding.

Here's a bit of inspiration for DJs and radio people who are stuck and think there is no life after radio....a former Rock DJ in Mexico, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, 51, was behind the mic again on Sunday but this time it was to accept an award for Best Director for the dark comedy Birdman a story about a washed up superhero trying to revive his career, starring Michael Keaton. Inarritu is the second Mexican director in a row to get the honor.  He left radio in the 90s.
