Did you know that discrimination by age is called AGEISM?

Martin Luther King fought against discrimination and Racism In the last Century, people brought awareness to the  discrimination of certain parts of the population. First, it was all about RACISM, the request for the decent inclusion of people of a different race into society. Talking about America it certainly was about the inclusion of the African Americans as full citizens. With the rise of the 6th level of consciousness in the 6oies and the upcoming Feminism, SEXISM entered into the awareness of our Western Societies. The discrimination of women was so natural in patriarchy, it needed the often even violent expression of Women opposing men - the fight against Sexism begins With the rise of the 6th level of consciousness in the 6oies and the upcoming Feminism, SEXISM entered into [...]

Choose Between Agist, Ageist, Agism,Ageism, Aging, and Ageing

We're already a few months into this Ageism/Ageist/Ageing project! And what do those terms mean? We've never yet really defined how we use them - not and not in our pages in Facebook or Google+. And they need some definition, judging by the looks we get when we mention them in conversation. Being rather deeply immersed in the subject, we do use the words and are consistent in what WE mean!  So, just so we are all on the same page, let's look a bit closer. Fortunately we don't have to reinvent this wheel as someone we admire has already done that. But first we do have to explain our spelling. Often in the U.S. we see the spelling "Agist" -  which we don't like partly as the important root of "age" is left out. And [...]

Why getting older is not your problem

How old are you now? A child sees everyone else as old Did you ever think that getting older would be your problem, sooner or later? Probably yes. And probably when you began to see a 40 or a 50 in the number of your years. Or even before, with 10 or 15, when you saw your 35 year old aunt as old and you decided never to get as old as her. Actually, you begin to get older right after birth, day by day, and the word "old" is the most relative word you can imagine. It actually doesn't say anything concrete, as everybody understands something different when using it. And even in different circumstances it can mean different time spans, from 1 day to 100 years. So why should this word [...]

Caffeine combats dementia? – What every female coffee drinker wants to hear:

What every FEMALE coffee drinker wants to hear! They only studied women so us guys will have to wait.  But if you're a coffee or tea drinker - or even a cola drinker! - this MAY be good news. But be careful, they document only association, not causation. So maybe we caffeinaholics are by type averse to dementia? Click here

Ashton Applewhite got our juices going!

If you really want to know what got us excited about this whole ageing business, look no further than this woman. Ashton Applewhite is a New Yorker who has honestly and courageously looked both at her own progress as she has grown from a child to a young person to someone now in full maturity at the consequences of growing up in the twentieth and now the twenty first centuries with all the baggage that goes along with that history.  she describes herself as a feminist but more importantly as the defender of people who see themselves as "victims" of an centuries old system which uses up the energy and vitality of youth, pitting it against the inevitable "decline" (in some respects) that begins to be "assigned" to those of us who routinely begin [...]

Join the knitting circle – you are history by Mark Davenport

A peculiarly American insult, to tell someone that they’re history means that their “time” is over, make way for the new blood, take your pension and go play golf. Join a knitting circle! At Orange, once you are no longer productive, either as a producer or as a consumer (on your reduced income) you become a non-entity economically. Television ads are no longer trying to get YOU to buy anything. But today that “history” phase of life can last over 30 years, perhaps longer than your “productive” years from 30 to 65 or so. A whole new demographic is emerging that at least can and will vote. So they can’t be ignored completely. And they will not be content with the victim labels of a marginalized group “granted” recognition, however well meaning, [...]
