For numerous years, our parents and grandparents adhered to a set of societal norms that were widely accepted. Phrases such as “Get married at the age of 20,” “That is not appropriate for men,” and “Boys should not express their emotions” have been frequently encountered. However, as time progresses, perspectives evolve, and we now perceive many aspects of life through a different lens.
At Strada Media, we have reflected on the significant transformations that have occurred over the past two to three decades. We have chosen to illustrate the contrasts between past and present experiences. It has become evident that our habits and values have undergone considerable changes, and what was once deemed normal now appears quite unconventional.
