Ageism is the discrimination or prejudice against individuals based on their age, often manifesting as stereotypes and negative attitudes towards older or younger people. This social bias can lead to unfair treatment in various areas such as employment, healthcare, and social interaction, affecting an individual’s dignity and quality of life. Ageism can impact people of all ages but is most commonly directed towards older adults, as society often values youth over age and experience.
