Age Diversity
Write a paragraph in which you respond to the following questions:
1. Is your social sphere (family, work, school, friends, hobbies, etc.) comprised of people of diverse ages? How often do you regularly encounter young people and elders? Do you wish you had more interactions with youth or elderly people?
2. In many ways, our society is segregated on the basis of age. Why do you think that is? How are young people and old people often socially marginalized? How and why are young adults and middle-age adults often advantaged and privileged due to their age?
3. What are some possible ways to promote greater integration of all ages/generations and to challenge age-based segregation? How can we as a culture work to promote respect for people of all ages, especially greater respect for old people?
