Ageism
Believing that older adults are less valuable or of no interest to society contributes to ageism. Ageism is stereotyping, prejudice, and discriminatory actions based on ones age.
Examples of Ageism includes:
- Refusing to hire people over a certain age
- Viewing older adults as out of touch or less productive
- Treating family members as though they are invisible, unintelligent, or expendable
- Disregarding someone’s concerns or wishes due to their age
- Taking advantage for monetary gain
- Or using someone’s age as justification to undermine, deceive or control them
