Why is it important?
This study reveals that the level of ageism, as represented by attitudes and discriminatory behaviour towards older people in Korea. The finding suggests that older people themselves need to expand their awareness of ageism and undergo an internal change of attitude to reduce the accustomed negative image. And one way to prevent age discrimination among younger people is to change their negative perception of older people.
Perspectives
It's a great plesure and honored to co-work with Prof. Chung who I respect. I hope this article contribute to a better understanding to prevent discrimination toward older people.
