The most powerful tool for any society to fight fundamental and unjust problems is the law. Whenever laws begin to protect people from ageism, social standards will improve, and toxic age-biased behaviour will decline, at least to a degree, a very considerable degree. But this shouldn’t mean that we, as a society, need to leave everything to the policymakers and act based on their judgment. We cannot expect our lawmakers to take care of everything if we don’t begin the change among ourselves, from each individual.
So, here is the central question, what can we citizens do to protect ourselves from ageism?
The short answer and the first step are to continually educate ourselves. We need to learn more about the differences between age groups, the stereotypes they are expected and made to act upon, and the difficulties each generation suffers because of its age. Only then can we be more empathetic and understand everyone better and fairly.
Another thing to do, if you’re in the position to do so, is to coordinate interventions and social activities fit for all ages to bring all the generations together. These activities are an excellent way to understand the value of maintaining a good relationship with the elderly. Some examples are activities in which teens and children present and introduce technology-related programs to seniors to help them live better. Seniors hold events to show the young people their lifelong experience and a chance to use their mentorship and wisdom.
