Our economy is so effective it has to offer, not the elderly. Part-time work for all can lead to a better balance age discrimination is even more complicated for sexism equality, because it does not involve two distinct groups, us and them, which could in principle be the same. Instead, everyone goes through a continuous process for us-ing-ness, or vice versa. (Color, of course, varies continuously between white and black, sometimes embarrassing problems for the system of apartheid in South Africa, but politically it has been simplified into two extremes.) The continuity of the age might suggest that the views of people of all ages should have the same weight to be fair to all stages of life. That, however, is not how the concept has been developed.
Most people seem to think that age - unlike race - has something to do with how people should be treated. For example, few of us want to be able to appoint a prime minister who is between 13 and 100. In fact, many may not even be willing to let a vote of 13, although this is a perfectly authentic stage of life, which has its own views in the world - an angle that we all live busy. With disgust at this age too, we look to the adults around us, and I swear that I would never like them! This is the first example of a kind of disbelief that continually haunts us on the path of our lives, we ask, can

really here? Can

is actuallynot ? And reformers have made several requests for the rights of children, trying to address concerns early. However, this is not the direction in which the concept of age discrimination has been identified in the first place. Instead, like most political isms, which targets a very specific complaint. The toad beneath the harrow here are mostly middle-aged people who feel sidelined by younger people, usually on the job. Because of their age are likely to be rejected, or early retirement or not promoted, or did not have a job first. In fact, seeing the power, privileges, and the value of the constant drift from an early and want to ask to what extent this trend is rational. Despite these conflicts have always arisen, two things have worsened considerably over the last century. One is the mystique of youth, which is increasing in Western culture during this time. The other is a pure extension of human life thanks to medical advances, which now produces more than older people who are punished and abandoned.
- The mystique of youth largely emerged after the First World War. There was a series of books - many of them very impressive - the terrible experiences of young soldiers in the trenches. Although these books are not directly recognize the folly of old men in charge of campaigns, the connection is obvious. The traditional dependence on the wisdom of the ancients was shaken thoroughly. Changing social habits have led to all sorts of technical changes that young people were quick to understand. Devices such as telephones, bicycles and cars have been given more freedom. Later, even more confusing, as computers have been added. New types of goods, silk stockings movies, seemed appropriate for both business and youth rushed to the offer. Appliances made obsolete skills. Across exchange rate has remained simple, high premium to be young, just make the world intelligible to the elderly. All this could have happened to a ride in a long inter-generational tournament had it not been for two additional changes at both ends of our lives. First, its duration is extended at an extraordinary rate. Retirees are no longer just a rest on the edge of the population, a foam that quickly evaporate. They survived, they need both the support and to have something to do. As Bryan Appleyard says in his book How to Live Forever Or Die Trying:
This was a huge change. Meanwhile, on the other end of life, another group of unemployed has also expanded to encroach on the asset. Children, instead of spending most of their time to work or play, is now expected to be educated up to half of adolescents or even more.
In fact, our way of life changed in a way that can be bolted to existing agreements. The image of a life that prevailed during most of the last century no longer makes sense. This image shows a concentrated group of young and middle-aged - 20 to 50 years, maybe? - Conduct an economy that is so effective, so well organized that it can offer to everyone. To do this, these people have to work with a constant concentration of termites and their every waking moments, the postponement of all work after retirement. Any idea that the burden should be spread by sharing through part-time work was dismissed as negligible.
