题目内容
4.Age discrimination (歧视) is a large problem in the United States today.Teenagers are considered dishonest,old people are considered incapable (无能力的),kids considered noisy.Picture this:a teenage boy,with a group of friends,walks laughing into a store.They read some magazines,walk by the candy,and then walk out without buying anything.What's the first thought of this?It might be that they stole something.Maybe the employees would even go as far as to call the police about these boys,who didn't steal anything but were discriminated against simply because they were"teenage boys".
This happens every day,all over America.We don't tell the kids much,because they"won't understand",they're"too young".We feel surprised when we see old people run marathons,or even take part in simple fun activities such as volleyball or swimming,because they are"old",and"incapable".
People who are discriminated against,no matter what the reason,can be hurt by it.They can be offended,because it isn't something they can help.Like my example of the teenage boy above,he was simply having fun as he walked into the store.He wasn't planning to steal anything or to cause any trouble; he could even be one of the best students in school,but he was discriminated against for being a teenager.
Of course,this doesn't mean you should persuade your grandparents right away to run a marathon,but give them a little trust.They are capable of doing things we are,and sometimes more.So next time you tell your little brother that he's"too young to understand"or think that your grandmother is"too old"to do sports,listen to yourself.I know you are offended by being considered as a teenager,so how do you think they feel?Remember,it all hurts.Everyone should have equal opportunities,no matter how old he is.
