Summary Introduction

Introduction

Deciding what is negative or derogatory can be difficult, because something may be offensive to some people and not to others. Sociologists consider factors such as power, status, culture, and history to make these determinations. The sociological perspective looks at how society treats individuals from a particular social group (in this case people from older age groups) compared with other groups.
