Ageism:
http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~aging/ModuleAgeism.html#anchor730235

These curriculum materials provide a basic introduction to ageism toward older adults. Although it is widely recognized that we live in a youth-oriented society, little attention is paid to the resulting ageism toward older adults or how this affects our personal and professional relationships. Through didactic material, discussion questions, and a series of experiential exercises, these materials help students explore this pervasive phenomenon, including a section on how ageism can be counteracted.
