Racialism
Ageism is stereotyping and prejudice against individuals or groups because of their age.[1] The term was coined in 1969 by US gerontologist Robert N. Butler to describe discrimination against seniors and patterned on sexism and racism[2].
Butler defined ageism as a combination of three connected elements. These were:
• prejudicial attitudes towards older people, old age and the ageing process
• discriminatory practices against older people
• institutional practices and policies that perpetuate stereotypes about older people[3]
The term has also been used to describe discrimination against teens and children, by ignoring their ideas because they're young or by assuming that they should behave a certain way because of their age.
