This document discusses different perspectives on aging and age. It notes that age is not just a biological fact, but is shaped by cultural beliefs and ideologies. It identifies different ways of categorizing age, including chronological age, cognitive age, and cultural age. It also discusses stereotypes associated with different age groups. Finally, it explores how marketers aim to define how people of different ages should act as consumers, but that personal experience and conceptions of age are also important factors.
