'Elderly' no longer acceptable word for older people

The new journalist's guide warns against the use of clauses to discriminate people of a certain age

"Advanced", "fossil", "BIDI" are registered in blacklist by inappropriate phrase vocabulary summarized by international think tank.

Conversely, people over the age of 50 are called "elderly" or simply "male" or "female", followed by age and guidelines.

According to the report, "small women" and "sweet women" of "old women" should also be avoided

This recommendation is included in the media media guide provided by the think-tank International Longevity Center and the California Elderly Activity Group.

The guide says it is designed to help journalists report stories about "the elderly" in a "fair and modern" way.

The author of the report points out that 80% of Americans are stereotypically elderly people

"The name and features may be different, but the information is the same, older men and women are incompetent and lacking in adequacy," the guide points out.

Abuse of the elderly does not necessarily mean physical abuse; in most cases it may be mental or emotional. In this survey, we estimate that 4 million Americans are victims of physical and psychological abuse and ignore them.
