ageism  

Définition

  • Ageism has three distinct yet interconnected aspects: (a) prejudicial attitudes toward older persons, old age, and the aging process, which includes attitudes held by older adults themselves; (b) discriminatory practices against older persons; and (c) institutional practices and policies that perpetuate stereotypes of older persons. Ageism is also the belief that the old are to be pitied, have endless physical and social problems, and need to be supervised and patronized.
