"In other countries like Norway and Japan, older people are revered and respected. In America, not so much. The advertising industry has contributed to the disparagement of us old folks through derogatory portrayals that reinforce outdated stereotypes. The wisdom, experience, patience, and empathy older people bring to the table are character traits you can’t have when you’re younger because you simply haven’t lived as long."
