I’m working on a sociology discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

the book: This chair rocks: A manifesto against ageismFor your TWO peer replies (click the reply button in the author’s post),
engage with the author by elaborating, comparing or contrasting,
sharing counterpoints (stats and/or studies welcome!), or drawing
connections to specific sociological concepts or theories. This is an
opportunity to demonstrate critical thinking, so avoid simplistic
replies that mainly repeat the author’s post or others’ replies. Try to
bring something new, insightful, or provocative to the discussion!
Maybe a video to answer their question? Or a TED talk that elaborates
on their ideas? Be sure to use in-text citations when appropriate and
page numbers so others can easily find the passages you’re discussing! my classmates replies: 1- Geneva Nguyen:The
idea that older job seekers are less capable in the workplace as
compared to younger job seekers was shocking to hear. In my experience,
younger workers are actually the ones that show a lack of
skill/competency. When I have a question at work or when I need to
resolve an issue with a guest, I will actively look for an older
coworker because in my mind, they would be more helpful. Applewhite
(2016) mentions that “older workers score high in leadership,
detail-oriented tasks, organization, listening, writing skills, and
problem solving” (p.?) and I have found that all to be true. As I get
older every year, I realize that I am constantly acquiring new skills
through experience. If experience makes an individual better prepared to
deal with obstacles, why would older job seekers be viewed as less
capable workers? I’m sure this would be something interesting to ask my
older coworkers as they probably have to combat these myths at work on a
daily basis. write reply… 2- Esmeralda Valenzuela:
A “big idea” that caught my attention in the chapter is that 27% of
women over forty are casted in prime-time television and are mostly
casted as victims: betrayed, abandoned, and abused. Media surrounds our
world, whether digitally or on paper. We’re surrounded by billboards,
movies, television shows, magazines, that fetishize the young. Media
plays a huge role in the way individuals perceive themselves. You have
people like influencers, whom people idolize and greatly influence
popular culture and the way we see ourselves. We want to be like them,
we want to look and act like them, we want what they have. Personally,
every individual is a walking billboard. The way one acts and dresses
has been tainted by the media. Our lives revolve around technology, it’s
the way we communicate. Write reply….write about 10-13 sentences paragraphs!
