Re: Ageism.
Just How Common Is Ageism?
"Researchers have also found that ageism is surprisingly commonplace. In one study published in a 2013 issue of The Gerontologist, researchers looked at how older people were represented in Facebook groups. They found 84 groups devoted to the topic of older adults, but most of these groups had been created by people in their 20s. Nearly 75 percent of the groups existed to criticize older people and nearly 40 percent advocated banning them from activities such as driving and shopping.”

Re: Ageism.
If you look at nature, animals tend to follow the senior members of their pack for protection and supply of food, as I see it, the human animal isn't any different. In adulthood I looked to my parents for advice and help, does it matter how old you are ? I think not.
