I, however, feel very strongly that senior citizens should not receive discounts until they reach the age of 70. I feel that giving senior citizens discounts before they reach this age is an unfair advantage because most people are capable and willing to work until 70 years old but quit because their pension kicks in and they receive discounts. I feel that since the average life span is expanding with every passing year, then so too should our laws pertaining to older people.

The United States government has recognized age discrimination and has passed many laws pertaining to the dilemma. The Anti-Discrimination Act was passed to try to curb the unfair treatment of people based on their age. The articles under this act are very specific in pointing out what is and what is not age discrimination. It is your responsibility as a human to speak up against discrimination and fight for your rights. Age discrimination will only end once a new generation of people starts to accept all of their fellow humans equally and judge them solely on their character and not their age. It is important to remember how it felt to be excluded when we were young and we will once again feel that exclusion once again when we are old. We need to prevent this exclusion from happening by respecting all people regardless of their age.
