Is it fair to say that Western culture doesn't care or provide for the elderly as much as Eastern cultures do?

I am told quite often that Western countries don't respect and care for their elders as much as their Eastern counterparts do. I don't know any Eastern countries who provide state pensions(SS), welfare, subsidised or free housing, senior discounts, health care, transport etc all paid for by taxpayers money. Keep in mind that Western societies have to support three times the elderly population as Eastern cultures do. Maybe Eastern societies provide more emotional care and support for the elderly but when the elderly have built a nation based on monetary value how can you blame us when we support you financially? What are your thoughts on this?

What could i possibly be for halloween with this outfit?

I'm in college so parties start tonight & I have no idea what I want to be! I'm thinking I could wear this black sparkly fitted club dress/shirt. The front is black sequins & the back has the cross back & it looks like a club dress & fits my shape tight & goes to a little bit below my . Since its kind of chilly out & I'm not trying to look skanky I was going to wear black leggings with it that go just below by knees. If someone asks me, what character could I say I am for Halloween? And what might I add to it to look a little more Halloween-y? :) please & thank you
