GREAT COLLECTION OF AGEIST MEDIA RESEARCH
BY audreymaher
“The term ageism, coined by Robert N. Butler (1969), refers to the stereotyping of and prejudice against individuals or groups based on their age. According to Todd Nelson (2005), there has been little study and research on ageism as a form of prejudice, compared to racism and gender bias.
One of the most common stereotypical assumptions about mature adults is that, due to a gradual loss of brain cells in the ageing process, they progressively lose memory and learning skills to such a degree that by the time they reach their sixties forgetfulness will become a fact of life. Because of this, it becomes progressively more difficult to learn anything new.
Another set of common stereotypical assumptions leading to ageism has to do with physical condition. Parallel to the stereotyping based on skin colour – a key component of racism – is that which is based on wrinkles, baldness, greying, white hair and other signs of ‘ageing.’
