Introduction:

Just as age and time become woven into our society’s fabric, so too is the way society defines each of us in terms of this magic number (Whitbourne & Whitbourne, 2014). Yet, age may not always tell us very much about a person. Examine examples of greeting cards, popular magazines, television shows, and movies to identify stereotypes and attitudes society has about the aging population. Describe several ways in which these media pieces generalize age.

Instructions:

  • Identify and explain the pros and cons of the attitudes and stereotypes of the aging population.
  • Explain the accuracy of these generalizations and why they occur.

Additional Instructions:

Create a 1 page essay in APA format according to the instructions above. Use 2 scholarly sources for references in which 1 will be provided for you. Be sure to use in-text citations.
