*I find this rather puzzling. I would have thought
that it is the modern cultures that tend to emphasize
youth and physical looks, while traditional cultures
tend to place more value on maturity and social
accomplishments. This is no doubt a generalization but
I am still surprized that you would assert the
opposite with such certainty.
