A form of discrimination and prejudice against elders or the aging process is called as Ageism. This has also become a very real concern in today’s world. There are some cultures such as the Abkhazians and Vilcambabans which respect longevity. And also according to the modern-day culture, looking youthful is essential to be considered beautiful and for success to be achieved.
