Question

Older people in industrial and post-industrial societies like the United States are generally viewed with great respect and are one group not subject to stereotyping or discrimination. True or False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Older people in industrial and post-industrial societies like the United States, Western Europe, and Japan, tend to be viewed with compassion, and sometimes, with disdain or even contempt.

This is because in these societies, where productivity has become a supreme value, older people are seen as being not as productive. In these societies, rapid technological change and novelty are also seen as desirable, and older people are not usually driving the change since they tend to be more conservative.
