Interesting. I guess this outlook creates an inherent cultural clash with the mainstream culture of the Republic of Korea where old people are shunned, ignored, and not supported very well. This is demonstrably worse than how Americans treat their parents. I wonder about Japan: I think old people there maybe treated better than the American elderly but I guess it depends on how traditional vs. citified a particular family is. PS: Disabled, elderly, poor Americans may soon have work requirements attached to receiving food assistance.
