AGEISM AND DISABILITY
In U.S. society, the elderly tend to be less and less visible in mainstream activities, in organizations, and in the workplace. One theory assigns this to ageism. Do you think that is the best explanation for this phenomenon? If yes, why do you think so? If not, what do you think is the best alternative explanation? What do you think is the most common expression of ageism?

Person-centered thinking places people and their capabilities, interests, and gifts before their diagnoses or treatments. For example, a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy would not be called “the child in the wheelchair” but instead would be recognized by the same traits that any other child might be: “Camille likes trains and always remembers everyone’s birthday.” How could this practice of person-centered thinking be beneficial to other areas of diversity? Why?
