My feelings on Ageism ||| 30DWC ||| Day 9

According to the WHO, Ageism is the stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination against people on the basis of their age. Ageism is widespread and an insidious practice which has harmful effects on the health of older adults.

In my line of work, elderly people constitute a large percentage of patients I encounter and I find them exciting and stimulating; their life experiences and mannerisms serve as invaluable lessons that should not be discounted by the newer generation.

I also do not think it is right to discriminate against elderly people on the basis of their age. What they need is understanding and empathy as they go through the inevitable changes that come with their age.
