\"Ageism
ALICE ROYER\/THE LEAD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just like sexism, racism<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, and classism, ageism is prejudice to a specific group.<\/p>\n

Whenever words such as sexism, classism, and racism are spoken about, most people already know that they are going to be expressed through a negative cognitive discussion that involves personal experience or historical references. But some people aren\u2019t as informed about ageism.<\/p>\n

Ageism is discriminating against someone because of his or her age. But it is directed more against the elderly.<\/p>\n

Alice Fisher, the President and Founder of the Radical Age Movement<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, believes that ageism is something detrimental to older people.<\/p>\n

\u201cOlder people are seen as handicapped even though, most of them are not,\u201d Fisher said.<\/p>\n

For adolescents, ageism is called adultism. Ageism is aimed at discriminating against older people, while adultism discriminates against young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung people have it tougher than most people [who are my age] had it,\u201d Fisher said.<\/p>\n

Ageism and other \u201cisms\u201d shine the light on prejudiced situations most people tend to encounter. Yes, some people will suggest that they haven\u2019t been subjected to, witnessed or negatively affected. Sadly, those might be the people who themselves have encountered ageism, they just aren\u2019t aware of it.<\/p>\n

Ageism is a problem in America. It has been an issue that most Americans encounter at least once in their lifetime. Some people are not educated on the topic but when they are made aware of something, it is proven that people are more likely to make positive changes. So let\u2019s stop ageism, adultism or any mindset that lessen a person\u2019s ability because of someone else\u2019s closed mindedness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
