Age is approached differently depending on our culture. In some parts of the globe, age is equated with wisdom, respect and honor. In other areas we see aging as being a burden. It is based largely on our perspectives and our cultural background.
For this discussion, you'll use both the book and outside sources. We'll think about aging is approached around the world, we'll look into media images and we'll talk a bit on ageism.
Please respond to all of the following prompts:
• Describe how aging is viewed in the United States.
• Describe how aging is viewed in one other country of your choice.
• List 1-2 examples from the media that support how we view aging in the United States (i.e., Botox ads, etc.).
• What is ageism? What can be done to deter this?
• Apply symbolic interactionism to how we view aging.
