Social media can be enjoyed by any generation when they find their niche groups that can support and engage their interests. Learning how to be socially aware when communicating with different demographics is important and can broaden many perspectives. #advocacyinaging24

@agingcass I love the trends on tiktok that can bring different gens to engage with each other. I seen some videos about older gens giving advice to younger gens, also a trend of older tv shows that the older generation said we absolutely had to watch.

@annasanadvocate lol Anna I saw your post right after a discussion about how a lot of ageist standards for women are rooted in pedophilia. Definitely made me question life

Listening to everyone’s campus polls in class Monday was very interesting. I love the different approaches each group took in this assignment. It’s important to spread anti-ageism to our campus and peers #advocacyinaging24

It’s time for us to stop limiting people because of our own stereotypical beliefs. Strength and mobility is suitable for every age. #advocacyinaging24

I think people fail to realize that movement and usability of our bodies is what decreases pains. Meaning younger generations are more at risk because of the high use of technology. #advocacyinaging24

@dyingandaging I absolutely agree, there is no point in living long while in conditions that negatively impact health is prominent in our society.

@PReetzke It was interesting to hear about the different ways he was able to get some support while living with dementia they were creative #advocacyinaging24

After interviewing some people on campus, I see that age bias can literally be everywhere. #AdvocacyinAging24

In our groups this week, we discussed how faith groups can impact people with dementia. Faith groups can offer support to individuals by understanding signs of stress and having many volunteers for people with dementia. #AdvocacyinAging24

@HollyR73240 listening to perspectives from different ages is important because we can see clear viewpoints that may be trends for certain generations and build knowledge on the age groups. #AdvocacyInAging24

I see how different cultures have perspectives on how aging impacts them. I remember I was a kid listening to my grandmas. My American gma didn't care about age as long as she looked good. While my Caribbean gma had a bit of a crisis aging in a new country

@Davis65949925 hey Davis. I agree with your post and this shows me that older women are most impacted by the gender wage gap. #AdvocacyInAging24

This week I saw how frustrating it can be for older adults to have equity in the health care systems. It seems as if when you are aging doctors believe all issues are associated with aging. WRONG! #AdvocacyInAging24
