Growing Old 

Physical signs of human aging tend to be regarded with distaste, and aging is often depicted in a negative light in popular culture, if it is even depicted at all. In Asian cultures, most country like Korean, Japan. Younger members of the family have a duty to care for the aging members of the family. And even outside the family unit, Koreans(Asian) are socialized to respect and show deference to older individuals as well as authority figures. It's also customary in Korean to have a big celebration to mark an individual's 60th and 70th birthdays.
