The Double Standard of Aging in the Media
Before you post, take some time and look at several copies of magazine advertisements and/or online advertisements that include middle-aged adults. [if you can post a picture that is a good representation of what you found, that would be great]
Then, in your initial post, answer the following questions based on what you observed.
(1) What products do older men typically advertise? How about older women?
(2) What personal characteristics do males and females in advertisements seem to display?
(3) Is there evidence of a double standard of aging?
Periods of vocational development
This will take a little extra time, so make sure you plan accordingly. You will need to find a child, an adolescent, and an adult who are willing to be interviewed about their vocational development. The interviews should include the following questions:
For children: “What do you want to be when you grow up, and why?”
For adolescents: “What are your career plans?” “Why have you chosen this particular career path?”
For adults: “What is your present career?” or “What are your career plans?” “Why did you choose this particular career path?” “Do you see yourself changing careers in the future? If so, why?”
