Through a growing awareness of agism, the influence of European
ideas about 'social inclusion' and North American
'communitarianism', families and older people found themselves
transformed into 'active citizens' who should be encouraged to
participate in society, rather than be seen as a potential
'burden' upon it (Biggs, 2001). The notion of agism is associated with discriminating attitudes
toward people on the basis of their age (Loland, 1999). AGE BEFORE BEAUTY: Agism, particularly discrimination against older
women, is a common complaint in Hollywood. |
