Are there any ways to fight ageism in society?

First of all, we have to know and accept the fact that ageism is deeply rooted in people’s minds. Misleading information such as “older people are weak, fragile or not attractive” is given to people’s minds every day subconsciously via social media and television. Believe it or not, we are fed by these false beliefs through what we watch, read or listen to.
Fighting ageism needs so much time, effort, and facilities that must be provided by governments and executive establishments. So what should we do as individual parts of society to fight ageism?

If you’re under 40 or 30:
Start with yourself!
First of all, raise your awareness by reading valuable and reliable sources about ageism and its destructive effect on people’s life.

Communicate more!
Communication is one of the best ways to interact with different opinions and share good information through helpful discussions. In the second step, watch and analyze your behavior and attitude toward seniors.

Stop calling any people in their 50s and up “old”!
Most people don’t pay enough attention to the language they use daily. Our words and language have an effect! Believe me, they have! By calling someone “old,” you send this message to your mind that they have lack some abilities and it starts to show in your behavior toward them over time.

Repeat these sentences 10 times a day!
People in their 50s and up are mature, more experienced, and have more wisdom than the youth. They’re not weak or disabled to manage their life.

If you’re over 50:
You have to be positive and open about your age. Aging is a process of life; it’s beautiful and full of wonders, so you don’t have to be ashamed of it. Try to be independent as much as you can. Do your own chores and daily activities.
Feel alive! Communicate with your beloved ones, join a gym, travel to new places and look for new experiences and show the world you’re as respectful and valuable as you are.
