There are a lot of examples one can choose to prove that people of the present day are unable to use common sense. Today, I will discuss one of the most obvious and dumbfounding ones.
While travelling on roads, I see a lot of parents walking on the main road with their very young kids. Lets say about the ages of 4-5. That's all very fine, I have no problem with that (well there are a few concerns about cancer, but hey, in the modern world, no one is free from the risk of cancer).
But I remember that when me and my dad used to go for walks, when I was a kid of 4 or 5, he used to walk on the outside. By outside, I mean towards the side of the traffic, with me away from the traffic. The below picture gives a better idea of what I am saying.
This way, I am on the inside. Even if I take a few steps to my side, I will be safe.
But these days, it's not so. Parents walk on the inside and kids walk on the outside. How can you not realise how stupid and dangerous this is? What would happen if the kid wanders towards the traffic?
This has gotta be the most basic and simple thing to do when you are taking a kid on a walk. If you fail to realise this simple thing, how much badly can you fare in doing more complex things?
The more chivalrous of us, myself included, ensure that we make women walk on the inside and the men walk on the outside. But if one protest about female rights and so on, i have no problem walking on the inside. It may be worth mentioning that this hasn't ever happened.
