2. what are some of the factors that influence how older individuals are treated within a society?

How people view and perceive the aging process varies greatly from culture to culture.Ageism is a common form of discrimination in the United States and other societies that includes negative views and stereotypes about the elderly. This type of discrimination can have a significant negative impact on the care and well-being of elderly people.Traditionally, elder care has been the responsibility of family members and was provided within an extended-family home. However, increasingly in modern societies, elder care is being provided by state or charitable institutions.Assisted living facilities allow the elderly to keep a sense of independence while providing them with care and supervision necessary to stay safe.

Hope this helps.

Sure I’ll do it! Have a good day
