But when you are judged by other strictly by your age, it can cause feelings of being less than, ignored or counted out all together. This is called "Ageism" or judging someone's abilities or "lack of" strictly by their age. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1).

Certain examples of ageism in everyday life that we may not even realize is happening. 3).

Some of the reasons why society creates ageism and how we can better understand it's effects and what we can do to improve people's outlook on aging. 5). Why it's important to show empathy, respect and understanding to those who are of a certain older age and realize the value & wisdom they share and contribute. /// We hope the information we've provided in this episode is helpful to you or someone you know who's experienced ageism. Everyone grows old and there is always a better way to show empathy, love and respect for people of all ages but especially those who are lucky enough to live far beyond our expectations.
