Proposal !

  The Elderly people of america have many rights but there are still problems that are being forgotten by society regarding the elderly. In this essay I will make a proposal for my fellow Congress members for the rights and equality of the elderly people of america.

  Elderly people are sometimes forgotten by their family members and don't have money to cover  their medications , food money and shelter. They sometimes have to choose weather to pay the medication that they are require to take buy food or pay rent . To resolve this problem I will propose to make a 28 Amendment stating that "All member of the family this meaning son/ daughter of a person ages 60+ that are not capable to covering the basic need that they need will need to pass a monthly allowance to the elderly mom / dad ". This new Amendment will help elderly people improve their life style .cover the basic needs and decreases elderly poverty.


What happends if their family dont have money to pay the allowence ?

Well int his case they will have to pass the goverment proof that their not capable of passing the allowence. They will have to help the elderly in any way this meanning cooking , helping around the house , giving them transpotantion , or just guarding them and looking out for their safety.



 Another problem that is still being debated is weather or not elderly people should have the right to drive.Many elderly that mental and physical disease  still drive because they need transportation . This can be dangerous to they're lives and to those who are around them they can cause accident or get lost.to resolve this problem I will make a new Amendment stating that "When people reach an age 60+ they should take a test to see if they are physically and mentally able to drive if they don't pass the test there driving licenses will be suspended ".

How will they get transportation ?

 There will be an increase in the bus transportation service this will also help in job oportunities for other people. There will be also taxiz in the hospitals were they can get tranportation for theyre doctors apointment ect. Also they will be in the groceseris stores , casino's ect .

Change !

 In the present the elderly have many rights regarding their safety,discrimination and healthcare .In the past they had no right and were seen like on useful to society.There still have to make more rights regarding the elderly because they sometimes are mistreated and forgotten.
  
  In the past there were no private health care and many elderly didn't have health care . Now everybody needs to have health care no matter their race, sex age or social status. In the past elderly people were discriminated when looking for a job if there was a young women competing with an elderly women they will usually hired the young women. Other just put an age limit for the job . In the present their is a law against thediscrimination of elderly people and also they have the right to retired at age 50+ if they have or feel mentally or physically weak or if they have a disease they are paid by the government social security.In the present their is a debate on weather or not elderly people should be allowed to drive in the future they could make a law that states that elderly people should renew their license and see if they are truly capable of driving on their own.  

 In conclusion elderly people throwout the years have gain many rights but still need more and some should be renew . There are some laws of the elderly that don't take into consideration the lower class elderly people that need help and don't have social security and are not capable to get a health care plan.

Struggle & Activism

   The Elderly people are very peaceful when fighting for their rights as human beings. Over the curse of time many discrimination of elderly people have surface and lots of groups have emerge defending them.Int he following essay I will describe how the elderly people have fought for their rights and the deferent methods they used .


  The Gray Panthers movement in 1971 advocated nursing home reform and fighting ageism. The group over the years have organized peaceful marches also the suede pharmaceutical companies Also the AARP have made marches and had won plenty of law suite regarding the elderly . Many elderly don't have the strength to physically fight for their rights and are to peaceful to do it instead they use a nonviolent method to protest like marches, law suits etc . 




In conclusion the elderly people have  fought for their rights in a peaceful way threw non violent marches and law suites.Some elderly people don't have the strengths to physically fight so they use this methods.No matter how old you are you have a voice and it will be heard .

Mistreatment of Elderly People

   Elderly people in america have been mistreated for many years and are still being mistreated even though  their are laws that go against it. They are sometimes discriminated when they go to look for jobs , some don't have a good health care or don't have one at all ,others are physically abuse .The AAPR has help elderly people fight for their rights and vulnerable older people meet their everyday needs. This essay will describe the elderly people of American struggle.

  In 1947 private health insurance was unable to older Americans. This meant that elderly people afford or pursue healthcare on their own didn't have one .The founder of AARP approached many insurance companies until she found one that was willing to take the risk and insured older people. In the 1960 ageism refers to a systematic discrimination toward a group of people based on chronological age .Elderly people were thought as useless to society simply because some of them may need more care than the average person. These sometimes lead to degrading treatment, inequality and, sometimes, abuse. The Gray Panthers, one of the more remarkable movements to were a pressure group for the rights and dignity of the aged. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 An Act to prohibit age discrimination in employment.

 In conclusion Elderly people were thought as useless to society simply because some of them may need more care than the average person.Thsi is gong agaisnt the huma civil rights that sates that "he human right to an adequate standard of living, including adequate food, shelter and clothing".
