Document Summary
Social age is determined and understood within a society. It is determined by figuring out what sorts of activities are individuals within different ages capable of doing. What is appropriate for one to do at a given age is determined by social age. Society has built us to feel at ease with the idea of an older man, with a younger woman, but when we see it the other way around, it seems unusual and strange. Social age can be demonstrated by ageism belief that people who share a chronological age (actual age) also have other characteristics in common. It can affect anyone at any given age. For example, individuals who are 30, automatically considered an adult who is married, with kids, a home, and a job. This is because the society we live in has painted this picture of what you should have by the time you are at a given age.
