675 words (approx. 2.7 pages) | 1 source | 2006 United States


Paper Summary:

The paper examines how we need to have strong and developed ethical values in the face of a shift in demographics that has already begun. The paper quotes Chichin who mentions that in the United States, the most rapidly growing segment of the population consists of those people over the age of 85. This new population bulge is the exact opposite of the baby boom, even though it originates in it. Canada and other countries are beginning to experience the same new trend. The paper explains that the mere fact there are such high numbers of elderly and especially frail people, can cause the bias of ageism to worsen since the elderly may well be perceived as more of a burden on society than ever in history.
