Join us for this series where a range of ideas will be explored through short videos and guided discussions. TED is a non profit organization devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks. This month, we take a look at ageism. It's not the passage of time that makes it so hard to get older, It's ageism, a prejudice that pits us against our future selves and each other. Ashton Applewhite urges us to dismantle the dread and mobilize against the last socially acceptable prejudice. "Aging is not a problem to be fixed or a disease to be cured," she says. "It is a natural, powerful, lifelong process that unites us all." This series is facilitated by Beth Rogers and is free of charge.
