The goal of this assignment is to have you reflect on ageism and how it can harm people and society at large. Because we talk about age related physical changes in this class (which are mostly negative), we run the risk of developing ageist generalizations such as “all older adults are frail.”
For this assignment, first read the APA factsheet, read the APA website article, and watch the TED Talk that are linked below:
1) APA Aging myth-reality.pdf Download APA Aging myth-reality.pdf
2) APA Fighting Ageism (Links to an external site.)
3) https://www.ted.com/talks/ashton_applewhite_let_s_end_ageism/transcript?language=en# (Links to an external site.)
Next, write 2-4 pages (double spaced, times new roman, 12pt font, no extra between-paragraph spaces) that address the following:
1) Give an example of a time where you saw ageism occur or when you contributed to ageism yourself (no more than 1 page). If you can’t think of a real-life example, find an example in the news (job discrimination, etc.) or in fiction (movies, plays, books, etc.);
2) Explain why the stereotype in your example was wrong;
3) Explain how ageism can harm individuals and society;
4) In your paper, explicitly tie in material from at least 2 of the 3 resources above (no need to APA cite, just make it clear what you’re talking about in the paper). Feel free to pull in other outside resources if you wish.
Do NOT take up space by having a header. If you wish to include name, class, assignment, or other info, put it on a title page that does not count toward the page total (This info isn’t required for this assignment, so feel free to omit). This makes it easier for me to ensure you’ve reached the page minimum.
