Document Summary

Those that are older, are a train on social services. The younger is a fringe on public space, and are always under control of caregivers. Different stages in the life course are socially constructed. Children are not given a platform to exercise there own opinion on themselves. Both older people and children are often imagined as problematic groups who are outsiders to the spaces of mainstream social life. Acceptable targets for social concern and have few opportunities to answer back. We give preference an privilege to that position. People are having children later then before: identity of old age is becoming much more dynamic, since they are retiring and is called the (golden years). Instead of seeing them as old, and waiting for death, they are now more active, and maintain friendships. By a certain age children are expected to go to school. At its core, chronological age is about the number of years one has lived.
