Age and generational discrimination

In society younger people will discriminate against older adults in anyway. Jobs will hire younger people because older people will be close to retirement or they will be two slow at the job. People get mad at older people while driving when they pass someone going slow and it’s an older person they’ll say, “what a surprise some old guy driving.” People will avoid older people simply because they are older. To me I think that it is because people in general usually lack the ability to understand and know that sometimes when something happens there is an actual reason why and not some excuse. It happens all the time with anything. Me personally experience people who lack a level of understanding when I’m driving. When I pull off a red light, I can only get up to like 10-15 MPH before I must let off the gas and shift. When I do that my car is coasting for that 1 to 2 seconds but the guy behind me is still on the gas. So, my point of that is I almost get rear ended sometimes or someone will switch lanes really quick and cut me off or give a what the heck hand gesture. It is simply because people don’t understand that there are still manual cars out there and we need a little more time to get going that someone in an automatic. That falls into the same category as when someone older is at work. If their boss tells them they are going to slow and hurry up and keep hustling them they need to understand that the employee is older and is a little slower moving than everyone else. This doesn’t mean that they are a bad employee at all. When I was at McDonald’s some of the day ladies were hands down better than me and they were triple my age. So in the end I think it comes down to a lack of understanding what is going on and why something is going on.
