In our country,there is a custom for old people,when the young people take a bus and see a old man,then he should give his seat to the old one.the young man who give his seat to the old people as a good moral.I often do this,but i found some young people do not do this when they saw a old man in recent years.this is a failure of our education or loss of moral? what do you think about this case?do you often give your seat to the old people?

Well to be honest since im young i can maintain my balance in trains, so i usually give my seat to old guys, pregnant women and to some normal women, but it really depends on the situation if the a certain person above is near me then i would stand p and tell her to take the seat but if he is quite far away then i would not stand because there might someone that'll take advantage and take the seat meant for that person.

I always gave up my seat, and still do. But now I'm at the age where people sometimes give up their seat for me. I don't consider myself old, so I don't know what I should feel in that situation. It's rather embarrassing!

Well, I never take the bus to be honest. Of course I did like a couple of times in my life, but I never experienced a pregnant woman or a old person without a seat. There's always plenty of room when I go with the bus. And the times there wasn't, I didn't have a seat either haha. But if there would be an old man, woman or pregnant woman I would give my seat immediately. I think it's very rude if you're young and not to give your seat.
