During the research, the researcher said, when the generations in the society do not interact with each other is a dangerous sign. Let me drag your kind attention towards the story of the two persons have age difference Richard Bement and Ahmed Zach, both of them talking to each other through video chatting, large discussions related art activities primarily both of them ignored.
This is not the end of the story, we have just started the conversation about new things that are very important to us and our relationship said Mr Zach Ahmed who is hailing from muslim family a 19 year old pre-medical student from Miami University of Oxford, we have met a year before with Mr Bement, 76 years old a reteired man from service both of them hails from Ohio.
Mr Bement provides an opportunity to ahmed to share his knowledge about organic chemistry which he has gained in his class. There were several programs organised by the university but open minds through art to boost the intergenerational understanding. Donna butts said the program will engage the childrens they will successfully care about old age persons, assistanting them and can create the community garden said the executive director of Generation United.
There are numerous factors of the community segregation, negative attitudes disrespecting the older adults not interacting with them is a dangerous sign for community, to come out from this problem we have introduced the course of intergenerational communication, we have seen genuine growth from the last two years said said Mr Karl Pillimer a cornell gerontologist researcher.

If we think older adults are gems in the society then we are the best humans ever. But it is the opposite in the community, for example now a days we are socially active upon different platforms, lets us see all of us our friend list we have maximum 10 years gap and vice versa this means that we are less focussing upon the old friends which are under the of 60, of course there is minimum amount aging people in the traditional organizations like industries, churchs etc. Dr Karl said.

This segregation has lead direct health effects upon the older adults which however caused the serious diseases like cardiovascular, strokes, heart attacks and dementia, anxiety, depression said Dr Becca Levy Yale Psychologist. People who retain positive thoughts about age live longer, with low depression, good memory if facing any kind of disease come out easily from that. The negative attitudes of segregation arises from childhood, but can be changed through intergenerational programs as proved during research.

Let me take an example the people who has dementia were successfully come out when the younger ones showed good affection, kinship, love, assistance etc. As compared to those older adults who retained negative attitudes of aging, according to the reports Dr Pillimer said in a recent meta analysis showed good development among older adults their physical health, less depression, low dementia these reports are coming from almost nine countries. The good sign is that the young students assisted the older adults which could be a reason to live better and charming life.

As per my experience i am taking an example of my self that i am living in a village, where there is less negative attitudes of aging but those living in urban area facing a lot, my grandfather died at the age of 90 but thank Lord he was mentally as well as physically fit until he died. I was always be the first kin of him to show the smartphones, videography and new things which he has not seen during his times, he felt happy comfortable and very lovable.
Another example from USA a man 76 Sprague Dexter said my young neighborhood always come with mics and cameras, recorded me what he questioned to me later on shows to college members during programs as per he, i would like to thank him for showing him affection, love and assistance which is beneficial for my heath during this age and i am happy they are lifting our loads sincerely.

Mr Bement and Zach Ahmed shared a lot of views about segregation. E.g, the person who is 150 years old knows what kind of crops should be sown during droughts conditions, i am living better life rather than what other older adults live it is because of intergenerational programs i have another two boys added to me but Ahmed has special space for me.
