  • The stereotype that all older people are slow, ill and lonely
  • Inability to independently manage regular activities of living- this could mean that they are forced to rely on mobility scooters 
  • Retirement if they are seen to be incapable of completing their jobs 
  • Possible violence from younger people who enjoy tormenting the venerable

I do believe older people are treated appropriately and correctly in the right manner in our society as from a younger perspective I feel that the younger generation tend to care more for the older generation as they usually relate them back to their grandparents which means they are wanting to treat them positively. However, in the modern society other ages may tend to prejudge an older adult which may come across as being patronising.

  • Treated respectfully and correctly
  • Younger generation relate them back to their grandparents treating other older adults positively
  • Modern society people tend to judge older adults which may come across as patronising 
  • People may take advantage of older adults being slightly more vulnerable.

For example, if the younger people are sat down on a bus and an elderly is stood up due to no seats left, the young will offer their seat to them. Moreover, the younger generation will open doors for the elderly and potentially ask if they need help if they look like they’re struggling. On the other hand, I believe that sometimes old people are not treated well as there have been reports of the elderly being mugged, hit, and robbed. I feel as if the elderly are sometimes not treated with respect as they are seen as vulnerable and an easy target. https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383059 2016-11-22 15:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383059 What type of problems do elderly people face in modern society? How could this be improved? https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383269 Problems:

1. Become ill more often.
2. Seen as frail or delicate.
3. Some people will view them as selfish for not working.
4. Dependent on their pensions for their income.
5. Some people are lonely.
6. Backwards thinking.

How can these be improved?

1. Better medicines to build up their immunity.
2. Break down the stereotypical way of thinking.
3. Slap those people.
4. Nothing can really be done.
5. Introduce them into their local community to engage with other elderly people.
6. Teach them that racism is not acceptable.

If elderly people need help most members of the public are willing to give up a bit of their time however sometimes it is out of pity, not respect. Furthermore, the elderly can be taken advantage of when it comes to money as they are naïve and can be quite trusting. https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383359 Camel]]> 2016-11-22 15:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383359 Do you think older people are treated well in our society?Older people are treated well in our society, they are always put first. Examples of this are specific seats to be given up for the elderly on the bus. Doctors and nurses spend as much time on them as they would a young child, and there are even homes specialised for the elderly to fit their needs, and make their life better. However, a lot of the time, we are made to feel bad for them, and we do these things because we have too, a lot of the time, we treat them well more out of pity than respect. https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383437 2016-11-22 15:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383437 What type of problems do elderly people face in modern society? How could this be improved? https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383658 Elderly people tend to become lonely, so will want someone to keep them company and keep them from becoming depressed. As well as this elderly people may need some assistance with day to day life as they struggle to care for themselves physically. This may mean they struggle to medicate themselves, feed themselves and maintain their hygiene. ]]> 2016-11-22 15:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383658 In what situations are people discriminated against because of their age?Elderly service users in nursing homes, for example- health care professionals may assume that a service user is incapable of completing tasks such as going to the toiler or dressing themselves independently because of their age. https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383711 2016-11-22 15:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139383711 In what ways/situations are people discriminated against because of their older age? https://padlet.com/mf9/4w220eiknep0/wish/139384080 People aged 50–64 were most likely to see it as serious, but the greatest incidence of perceived unfair treatment was among the 15–24-year-olds. This appears to reflect people feeling ignored or patronised. – Age UK

 There is also the stereotypes against them that they are closed minded, judgmental individuals. This means they don’t have the same chance to connect with people as younger people would assume that they wouldn’t listen
