It was a miniature plastic car that fits in the palm of your hand.
To me it was just a silly toy.
One day, I happened to be told that I could draw a lottery after shopping at a drug store. I was lucky enough to get the toy when I drew the lottery.
It was such a crappy item that I tried to throw it away.
Then an acquaintance who was by his side said:
“How about giving that toy car to the kid over there as a present?”
The child seemed to want my toy.
Of course I don’t need that toy.
However, there was no idea of giving it to a child as a present.
- Do different age groups have different definitions of universality?
- Yes, different age groups may have different definitions of universality. This is because people have different values, experiences, cultural backgrounds, social situations, etc.
For example, young people tend to be more flexible to technological progress and social change, and are more open to new ideas and values. On the other hand, older people often have more conservative views based on their experiences and traditional values.
As such, values and ideas that are universal to young people may not be so to older people. For example, while younger people may embrace LGBTQ+ rights and environmental issues as universal values, older people may still feel that such ideas are not universal.
On the other hand, however, universal values and ideas are commonly accepted to some extent regardless of age group. For example, human dignity, equality, justice, and ethical values are accepted as universal values by many people.
