Age How old is “old”? How do we view the old? Respect and Reverence? Annoyance and Ineptitude Any guesses on what we call discrimination based on age? Ageism!

Ageism The belief that one age category is by nature superior to another category. This could apply to any group. Examples? Give me some adjectives for the old. Give me some adjectives the old may give the young. What agent of society is the biggest reinforcer of ageism towards the elderly?
