Gerontology-Social Theories of Aging
The public and the media have always created several assumptions and generalizations about older people, playing a major part in the ongoing age-related stereotypes. However, a repertoire of new progressive shifting ageing theories is today more inclined to the understanding of the process of ageing through a broader lens that pays closer attention to social structure, power, economic conditions, lifelong inequities, and so on. Some of these theories include symbolic interaction, activity theory of ageing, continuity theory of ageing, and cumulative inequality theory of ageing.

Gerontology-Social Theories of Aging

# 5 Overview: All of us develop ways to explain and interpret the world around us, based on our experiences. Because of the pervasiveness of ageism in our society, some of our generalizations and assumptions may reflect negative age-based stereotypes. We are surrounded by depictions of old age, particularly in the media, as something to be avoided. However, progressive shifting theories of ageing are focusing on understanding ageing through a wider lens that pays attention to social structure, power, economic conditions and life course inequities, among others.
