Reframing Aging and Ageism

Talking about reframing aging, we are required to first build bridges that connect the population of the older adults with the society that provides them with equal, inclusive, and affordable opportunities especially in financial allocation, the major challenge faced by the older adults (Kruger, 2012). This paper, therefore, provides a discussion on how reframing aging and ageism affects our society, to provide an opportunity to frame personal solution to the problem and provide relevant recommendations that would change the direction stated narrative direction. It is the role of the legal institutions to continue advocating policies from public and private institutions that guarantee a conducive working environment for the aged. The older adults should also be considered to be productive to developmental goals highlighted in the collective benefits of both employers and employees (Ferraro, 2016).

The studies conducted by the FrameWorks Institute basing on the reframing aging project highlighting the messages on fighting aging on the benefits of staying young and increasing ageist attitudes. Ageism is an issue that has social, economic, emotional, and even personal impact on every individual across all age brackets. As youths, we face a lot of challenges trying to handle the aged, especially in the current fast developing world. Ageism has been of great impact in my life, as I also consider discrimination of the older adults as an abuse, a situation that needs to be controlled. I have visited various hoes for the aged and it is clear that most of these people are leading a miserable life. The older adults living at home pass through abuse and mistreatment from the members of the family as well as the society.

Provision of relevant recommendations focuses on improvement of the living standards of the older adults in the society to ensure they actively participate in the economic development of the state. The proposed recommendations include government intervention through policy formulation and implementation of existing policies and regulations that guide protection of the aged population in the nation. Creation of awareness is essential in the society to enable the young population to change their perspective toward older aged population. the society should realize the role played by the aged people in social, economic, and civic development. Institutions dealing with a reframing of the aged have a role to protect the rights of the older adults, protecting them from discrimination and other abusive practices that happen in our society.
