Stereotypes of Age

Stereotypes of the elderly:


 This video breaks the stereotype of the elderly as it shows a 62 year old woman modelling lingerie for American Apparel. This is not stereotypical of the elderly as it is usually younger women doing jobs like this, and we assume the elderly are in their houses drinking tea.

Stereotypes of the young:

This article suggests that all young people are deviants, and do not care about breaking the law. Justin Bieber gives a bad impression of young people as he acts in a manner that could rub off on his fans. He is a role model for many, and the way he is acting will make other teenagers think it is acceptable. Some might say that he is just acting like a normal young lad, but it is not a great impression to give to 13 year old fans.
