Many seniors would agree that peoples actions and beliefs are very discriminatory toward them. These beliefs are often held against seniors inability to preform physical events/actions, like playing a sport causally with their grandchildren or occasionally working out. They are also discriminated against when it comes to employment. Most people over the age of 50 face problems with being hired or receiving promotions due to their age. Companies also tend to layoff the older or most experienced workers rather than the younger.
you are absolutely right. One thing I particularly don't like is how they are replaced by younger workers whose minimum wage is much lower (I don't know about the US but in Australia, the older you are the higher the minimum wage).
ReplyDeleteYou are raising awareness here my friend. Please keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing this point up, it really is a sad problem indeed.
ReplyDeleteWell, elderly people do have a place in this world.
ReplyDeleteEver heard of "Epic beard man"?
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's terrible that if someone is able and willing to work that they should be denied just because of their age.
ReplyDeleteThis discrimination to the elders should be banned
ReplyDeleteIt's the world we live in now. It's sad but nothing will change
ReplyDeleteWith age brings experience, and more importantly: wisdom.
ReplyDeleteYoung people can tend to do things faster, it's just how it works.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very sad problem
ReplyDeleteWhat John said, to be fair :)
ReplyDeleteI can understand in certain circumstances where its not very discriminatory. It always depends though!
ReplyDeleteboo! i love being an oldie :D
ReplyDeleteat least they can greet at wal mart still
ReplyDeleteWe're all going to be elders one day...
ReplyDeleteThis is becoming a huge problem in the US.
ReplyDeleteThey have a home, its called Florida.
ReplyDeleteIt is a grave issue for every western civilization. I'm just sick of how our elderly are being treated every day
