Media representations of aging and older people: Consequences for older people and wider society

access 3 pieces of media from the material to analyze the content and reflect on the intended meaning, hidden meanings and implications of this both on older adults, the recipient of the media and the wider society.

The materials should be used to build a paper based on societal stereotyping, the presence (or absence) of ageist imagery and prose followed by the implications that this has.

Points

How does your choice of media present aging?

What is the target audience for the media and is this the only audience?

What are the intended and unintended consequences of the positive/negative representations of your media?

How are attitudes formed? Include theories of attitude, stenotype and prejudice formation and reinforcement.

What are the implications of positive/negative attitudes on younger and older people?
