For this discussion, I want you to interview 3 people in different age cohorts: your grandparent/s (or someone in their age cohort), your parent/s and someone in their 20’s. Ask them the following questions:
At what age should people marry?
At what age should people have children?
At what age should a person be settled into his/her career?
Should women have careers outside the home?
Were there any differences in their responses? What do these findings tell you about the power of age norms? Are you aware of how age norms influence your life? How/How not?
