Ageism as the new racism, and it's a particularly subtle and widespread form.
Nicola Palmarini is a IBM researcher, teacher and writer focused on aging-related scenarios at IBM. From TEDxBolzano stage, he suggests to start by translating this word in all world's language, much like racism and sexism, and then increase the awareness of age-related stereotypes and prejudices among general public, along with replacing the phrase (and ultimately, society's attitude) "anti-aging" with "pro-aging".
This talk was given at a TEDx event, using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
