Question 8 • *CR Speech (ELECTIVE, 1 semester, E6001OX)

Which of the following is an example of ageist language?

Answer
A
“You’re too slow.”
B
“Do you need glasses?”
C
“Get a move on, old man!”
D
“Are you deaf?”

Explanation

Ageist language uses a person’s age or stereotypes about older people to insult or demean them. “Get a move on, old man!” directly targets someone for being old, so it is the example of ageist language. The other statements may be rude, but they do not specifically refer to age.
