1. I’m sure I have been treated unfairly but the situations that keep arising for this topic is when I worked in home healthcare/nursing homes. Working with older generations especially during the declining of their health proves challenging in it’s own ways. However I have experienced ageism while working with individuals of the older population. Often times I would witness patients being ignored of their needs as if it didn’t matter to some as they would be “passing soon anyways”. That was absolutely disgusting behavior and attitudes that I couldn’t sit back and continue watching. Societal norms have shaped beliefs and attitudes to what it is. Caring for older generations is pushed off onto other people because they don’t want the burden of caring for that individual. They are valued less as families and it is worrisome. I often think about when I am old how will I be treated. I see people being rude about older indivudals moving slowly and often pass them aggressively.
