It is not uncommon for those living in the third stage of life to be categorized as the 55 or 60-plus group, which can subtly suggest that they are so similar they can be “lumped” together. This catch-all approach implies that older people are more alike than different from one another, which is a stereotype. Generalizations or stereotypes can lead to ageism, a form of discrimination based on a person’s age. The truth is, we are all aging, but ageist attitudes influence how we think of others and even ourselves.
Come and learn more about what ageism is, its impact on society, and ways to promote inclusivity in our communities. Kara Schweitzer, Illinois Extension Family Life Educator, will lead this program.
This program is for adults. Registration is required by calling the library at 815-756-9568 ext. 2114 or emailing Susan at susang@dkpl.org
