During class we talked about Book presentation This Chair Rocks. During the presentation my group members discussed about how the author Ashton Applewhite advocates that people should be aware about agesim around them and embrace about growing older. In class we also addressed the issue about ageism, which is a socially constructed idea that has changed overtime that serves a social and economic purpose. In addition, we also addressed how people can experience agesim by being called “too old” or people making a judgement based on a persons age. We also connected with the book Selling the Foundation of Youth about the terms how taking advantage of the negative ideals of ageism and using beauty anti-aging products to appear young and youthful looking to avoid the natural aging process.
