How do younger and older people view the importance of social rules?

I think younger and older generations often have quite different perspectives on social rules. Younger people in Shanghai, where I live, tend to see rules as more flexible - they'll follow them when it makes sense, but question traditions that feel outdated. For example, my younger colleagues at the design studio don't think twice about working remotely when needed, while older managers still prefer strict office hours. That said, older generations often value these rules for maintaining stability - like my parents who always emphasize proper greetings and formal family gatherings. The gap isn't about right or wrong, just different life experiences shaping what feels important.
