or ddiscrimination against
peoppeople based on their age
and can occur both in work
place and in your persona life.
ageism can be directed at older
aadults and young people how
ever our culture tend to glorify
the youth. so older people are
more often the victim of age.
now lets talk about the positive
and negative impact of age.
THE NEGATIVE IMPACT
OF AGE
The world's population is
getting order and by 2050,
about fifth of all people will be
aged over 60. all countries are
affected bythis issues but
more especially those with
rapidly changing economics
are now seeing the fastest
changes in overall
poppopulation. and one of the
negative impact is HEALTH.
Healthy problems can make it
harder for elderly people to
care for themselves and carry
out nomal daily tasks like
washing, cooking and walking
around. going through
significant changes in life such
as retirement and breavement,
can also make it harder to cope
with illness.
second impact is that it can be
difficut for older people to find
a place within communities.
sometimes young people may
see tthem as old fashioned,
ththey might also assume that
all old people are frail or
comfused.
also as go through life, our
bodies experience damage and
start to wear out. these changes
in physical or mental ability in
order people.eg hearing and
sight loss back and joint
pain,breathing difficulties and
heart problems.

has positive impact and some

some elderly people find that
they have more time to spend
with family and friends later in
life.
they might also be able to help
care for the grand children or
pass on skills to younger
generations
some older people take the
opportunity pick up ne skills
and hobbies.old people have
more experience and can often
provide good advice to
younger people who are facing
difficulty in decisions some
times they can also provide a
defferent perspective on
disagreements or unfamiliar
circumstances.

every individual and
communities around the world.

positive impact.

worsening the level of
moral values a child has.it
inculcate a kind of
competitiveness that borders

education system is all
about getting loads of
cabbage into a little mind it
expect a student to complete
huge portions and thats
 what students are doing but
in a wrong way .rote

point the fact that if you want
to get get a job u need to be
educated as a steady job , the
economy of the country as a
