 Discussion 2

In a Word document or PDF document, complete the following:

• Locate two images or advertisements: one that represents aging in a positive way and one that seems to be representing an older person in a less flattering or ageist way. Include the website link to the images or advertisements. You can use images from any source, such as greeting cards, as long as you can show the image or advertisement. (You can take a picture of the greeting card, for example, and copy and paste it onto the document, then identify the greeting card.) Include the context or target from where you found the images or advertisements. For example, if you found one of your images from the Dove campaign, indicate that.
• Identify what you believe to be the intended or target audience for each image or advertisement.
• Compare and contrast the images you found and how you think they represent society’s views about aging. Use the learning materials to support your claims.
• What role as a service provider for aging adults, would you have in combating ageism, and how might you achieve this?
