Ageism
by hitest from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6Q9DY)
I'm chronologically quite old as a baby boomer, but, I don't feel old. In eastern cultures older people are respected, venerated. In North America older people are often made fun of and discarded as unworthy of consideration.
I didn't really think about this issue that much until I experienced it first hand. As a young person I sought the companionship of older people; I appreciated their wisdom.
Today there's a glorification of youth that permeates all aspects of society.
Hey, get off my lawn! Haha. :)
