Answer to Question 1

Older adults share the characteristics of subordinate or minority groups. Specifically:

1 . Older adults experience unequal treatment in employment and may face prejudice and discrimination.
2 . Older adults share physical characteristics that distinguish them from younger people, and their cultural preferences and leisure-time activities often differ from those of the rest of society.
3 . Membership in this disadvantaged group is involuntary.
4 . Older people have a strong sense of group solidarity, as reflected in senior citizen centers, retirement communities, and advocacy organizations.
5 . Older people generally are married to others of comparable age.

There is one crucial difference between older people and other subordinate groups, such as racial and ethnic minorities or women: every person who lives long will eventually assume the ascribed status of being an older person.
