Question

Do you think they will adhere to the stereotypes of past generations or redefine "OLD",

will there be a shift in attitudes toward older adults?

These discussion questions are referring to the aging population in the US now.

Answer 1

its hard to predict how future generations will view aging and older adults.
but there are some indications that attitudes toward aging are changing.
for example there is a growing emphasis on healthy aging and on the contributions that older adults can make to society.
and there is a greater awareness of ageism and a recognition of the need to combat stereotypes and discrimination against older adults.
its possible that these trends will continue and that future generations will redefine what it means to be "old."
but there are also factors such as economic and social inequality that could perpetuate negative attitudes toward older adults.
overall the future of aging will depend on a variety of factors including demographic trends and cultural values and policy decisions.
