Answer 1

Older people are an asset to every society.

1. Teaches the young how to give respect.
2. You might learn something from them if you listen.
3. They remind the young that, they are mortal and one day will grow old and die, if they are lucky and live their lives well.

Answer 2

It depends on which angle you are looking at. They can be consider as an asset with their knowledge & experience. They also help the young couples to look after their kids while the couples is out at work.
However when the senior citizen start to fall sick, or need attention then they are consdiered as liabilities. it is due to the fact they need others to look after them and the daily expenses, medical bill and etc required for them.

Answer 3

Both.
Senior citizens are country or family liabilities for their daily expenses, medical bill and etc. But they are also an asset with their knowledge and experience in life.

Answer 4

Some seniors are assets. Some seniors are liabilities. Some seniors are both. You could say the same about all people, regardless of age.

Answer 5

They are commodities. You can sell anyone over 65yrs old if you catch them first (ue humane traps baited with Werther's Originals). I believe the going rate is £43 for a man and £47 for a woman due to her greater life-expectancy.
