About This Lesson
Ageism can be defined as making a judgment about a person simply based on age. For example, some adults always speak in a condescending tone to small children; these adults may hold an ageist attitude, assuming that younger kids can’t understand anything beyond baby talk. Another common instance of ageism is in the case of older adults or senior citizens, when they are portrayed in the media as being feeble or weak-minded.
