We talk about how to begin dealing with this bias through Acknowledgement, Integration, and Activism.There is so much in this episode, but some of the topics include:What is ageism?Is there a divide between young and old?How does culture teach us to feel about age and aging?How does fear drive "the machine" and pit ages against each other?When do we start to become biased?How do we begin to start overcoming this bias or prejudice?What is "age appropriate"?What does someone AGE tell you about them? What does it not tell you about them?How important is it to push back the myths of aging, especially as a group?How do we push back these myths?How important is it to make friends of all ages?How do we age well?What example can we set for our children and how can we keep from being ageist against them and others their age?I hope you have enjoyed this episode and if so, if you would go to the bottom of this page and give it a star RATING or write a REVIEW, I would so much appreciate it.
