Ageism
Sometimes the most obvious things in life are kept hidden because we would just rather not look at it. Ageism is a very prevalent type of prejudice against those that are elderly, and it expresses itself by perpetuating myths and ideas about the elderly that are just not true. Furthermore, these false ideas are perpetuated through generations.
Since ageism is all around us I want to see proof of it. Through the use of pictures I want you to demonstrate the use of ageism in our society. It could be a commercial in a magazine, on the television or greeting cards are always a good source.
Instructions:
Think about some of the false precepts such as most elderly are living in nursing homes, most elderly are demented, and, most elderly are depressed.
