Does older mean wiser?

Do older people have too much influence?

Older people from across Africa are meeting government representatives as part of a global campaign to demand improvements in ageing policies and practices in their countries.

The campaign in Africa is being supported by politicians, celebrities, artists and musicians including Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka.

But do older people impose outdated values on the younger generation? Should they try to learn from young people? Do Africans give their elders too much respect?
