This document discusses ageism and discrimination based on age. It defines ageism as stereotyping, prejudice, or discrimination against individuals due to their age. Several examples of ageism are provided, such as teenagers being viewed with suspicion, older individuals denied health insurance or told to retire based on their age alone. The document examines ageism through the lenses of symbolic interactionism and activity theory, suggesting that negative stereotypes lead to ageism and that remaining active benefits older adults. Statistics show ageism is widespread in Canada. To address it, the document argues for raising awareness, challenging ageist beliefs, and upholding rights and freedoms regardless of age.
The focus of the presentation was an investigation on Adult Educators should eliminate ways in which educational practices perpetuate ageism, raise awareness of it in the workplace, and help older workers continue learning.

Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill YouthTh.docxrjoseph5
Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill Youth
The topic selected for the research question is Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill Youth. Stigma against mentally ill youths is prevalent in our society today. The problem of stigma against the mentally ill teenagers is that it could hinder them from accessing the medical help that they need. It is wrong to discriminate mentally ill youths, and this stigma should be avoided. The community should see the person rather than looking at the mental condition. Stigma and discrimination of people with mental illness is a prevalent problem in the society today. Stigma can pervade the lives of those suffering from mental challenges. According to research, stigma and discrimination of mentally ill youths can affect self-esteem and rob people social opportunities, which can result in people to lack happiness. Issues such as denied opportunities of employment can affect social and emotional wellbeing of the patients. Sadly, people with mental problems can make their difficulties worse if they are face stigma in the society. According to medical experts, many patients may respond slowly or make it to recover when they face stigma and discrimination because it can increase depression and other related challenges.
Abstract
Population of Interest
My population of interest is mentally ill youths. It is surprising to now that many children and youth have mental illness. Roughly, 14% of young people tend to face mental illness at some point during the development phase. Mental illness is a significant problem and we must address it head on to reduce the adverse effects and promote positive social changes in the society. Mental illness is a significant problem. Approximately 60% of mental illnesses show up before the age of 18 years. This condition has a significant impact on a child's development. Mentally ill youths are the most affected in terms of stigma and discrimination. It is essential to study this group so that we can understand why do people discriminate and stigmatize the mentally ill youths and how can this behavior be dealt with.
Equality Act of 2010
Mental health is a condition, which is considered as a disability, especially if it has a long term effect on the day-to-day life of the patient. The Equality Act 2010 may apply to this case. The act protects disabled people from facing unfair treatment. The Equality Act 2010 says that it is wrong to harass, discriminate, or victimize people because of their disability. The act also protects mentally ill people from facing discrimination at the workplace. The law further protects the patients when they want services such as housing, education, and others.
Moreover, it is essential to talk openly about the problem of stigma and discrimination against people with mental illness because it will promote education and awareness in society. Lastly, it is important to educate society about the problem because many people are not aw.

It is important because although; a young person may have held down a job, and acts mature, they have not yet experienced enough of life to be considered an adult. The same concept goes for middle aged people. Although; a middle aged person is active, and looks younger than their age, they are still considered to be middle aged. In other words regardless of the accomplishments of a person, their looks, and vitality, they are still catergorized in society by their age. Behaviors that might delay the cognitive, or social aspect of the aging process are socializing with friends and within the community, and participating in activities such as swimming, bingo, traveling, and other hobbies that enhance to cognitive apects of aging.It is proven that people who continue to be active socially, age gracefully, and without limits. They also continue to work brain cells that could eventually die out from dementia, and other illnesses.. Physically a person might speed up the aging process by isolating themselves from friends and family, by not focusing on health and nutrition, and by becoming a couch potato. When a person does not take care of themselves by exercising, and watching what they eat, they end up suffering from illnesses such as diabetes, limit their mobility, and are eventually confined to walkers, wheelchairs, and medications in their later years of life.
Colleague 2: E
According to Zastrow & Kirst Ashman (2016), individuals within the ages of 18 and 65 years are classified as young and middle adulthood. In as much as this classification has been in existence and popular, one can argue that, to determine the term adult hood may not be as easy as it sounds. Adulthood can be perceived differently from people, considering their culture, religion, personal belief, and social economic background. According to Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman (2016), “it is difficult to pinpoint the exact time of life we are referring to when we talk about young adulthood”. Some cultures such as the Nigerian culture, consider adulthood as a period where a child can comfortably carter for his /herself without seeking the help of the parents/guardian. Such age range may be around the ages 27to 30. Other cultures perceive young adulthood as the age where a child can comfortably make good decision in line with the expectation of older adults.
To replace or improve on Zatrow & Kirst Ashman classification on young and middle adulthood, I will suggest a classification of young adulthood and middle adulthood from the ages of 15 to 50. This classification is in line with Buhler theories of young adult hood. According to Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman (2016), Buhler’s theory clustered adolescent and young adulthood together to inclu.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Discrimination is “the practice of unfairly treating a
person or group of people differently from other
people or groups of people” (Merriam-Webster, 2015).
3. Also called “ageism”, “is the stereotyping of, prejudice
against or discrimination against an individual due to his or
her age. Usually this refers to older people, those aged 50
years or older, though it can also related to young
professionals, teens and even children” (Morrisey, 2013).
4. Teenagers being watched “closely” at stores as many think they may be “up to no
good” because of their age.
Teenagers being looked at as irresponsible, unreliable, and lazy.
Older individuals being denied health insurance based on their age
People saying that “old people” shouldn’t drive because they are dangerous on the
roads
Older individuals being told that they have to retired based on their age
That older individuals will not change their ways (“cannot teach an old dog new
tricks”)
Doctors overlooking an older persons concerns about their health because it is
probably just “due to aging”
5. Personal ageism: ideas, attitudes and beliefs that are biased against a
people or a group based on their age.
Institutional ageism: missions, rules, and practices that discriminate
against individuals or groups because of their age.
Intentional ageism: ideas, attitudes, rules, or practices that are carries
out with the knowledge that they are biased against people or groups of
people based on their age.
7. Symbolic Interactionism
Symbolic Interactionism is the belief that people act towards things based on the
meaning that those things have for them. This means that if a person has been raised
to respect aging, they will act towards the aging with respect.
Ageism is created from negative stereotypes. Symbolic interactionists believe
children learn negative images of older people, more specifically they learn these
images from parents and even the media.
Stereotypes of older people are inaccurate. Many elderly are not senile, or forgetful.
Most elderly are able to learn new things or adapt to change.
8. The Activity theory, proposes that older people benefit both themselves and their
society if they remain active and try to continue to perform the roles they had before
they aged (Joung & Miller, 2007).
As they perform their roles, their perception of the situations they are in is crucial to
their perception of their aging, their self-esteem and other aspects of their
psychological well-being.
9. Eight out of ten people polled believed that seniors of the age of 75 were viewed as
less important and in general, are more ignored than younger generations.
Six in ten seniors ages 66 and over have been treated unfairly due to their age, while
35% of Canadians say they have treated someone differently because of their age.
According to the survey: The three most common forms of age discrimination faced
by Canadian seniors are:
being ignored or treated as though they are invisible (41 per cent)
being treated like they have nothing to contribute (38 per cent)
assuming that seniors are incompetent (27 per cent)
(CTV,2012)
12. In order to tackle ageism, we must raise awareness and make the issue visible
to others.
As individuals we should challenge others ageist beliefs and attitudes when they
occur
We must work together to ensure that others understand that ageism is morally and
legally unacceptable as per Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms
