#8 Final Blog Post

This project has broadened my view on Ageism. Before this project, I didn't really know what ageism was. I knew that age discrimination happened but I didn't know that it had a name or that it was so prominent in our society. Ageism is something that everyone should be aware of because it can affect everyone. It is disturbing to think of all the ways elderly people are discriminated against because of their age. I also learned that ageism affects not only the elderly, but also young adults. People have to realize that everyone, no matter their age, deserves respect and opportunities to do what they love.
