Ageism in Hollywood: Recognizing Three Interrelated Forms of Negative Treatment Regarding Aging
Jennifer Love Hewitt has helped to spotlight ingrained attitudes regarding age and how she has been forced to cope in an industry obsessed with youth as detailed in an article by Jeetendr Sehdev. She brings awareness to many people as it showcases many different layers of ageism in modern culture and society which must be brought into public discourse. Jeetendr Sehdev author of “The Kim Kardashian Principle: Why Shameless Sells” identifies three types of ageism: interpersonal where there are biases in the relationships institutional when older individuals marginalized by rules and finally the self-directed kind of ageism. Jennifer Love Hewitt has noted the importance to be aware of and to also push to fight all forms of ageism on a cultural level.
Brands as Cultural Change Agents: Fighting Negative Stereotypes about Older People Through Effective Marketing
Jeetendr Sehdev in his publication on marketing strategy states strong brands connect to audiences with powerful emotions especially by confronting commonly held public sentiment including how older people often want to stay forever young. Dove brand for example connects very directly with consumers and created deep relationships with their audience after acknowledging societal pressure and issues of public expectation and now this is being seen in campaigns where older women feel powerful and free by showcasing diversity among women. The "Campaign for Real Beauty" by Dove has successfully offered the public a view of varied and unique perceptions on what defines beauty while also providing a message on how we look in relation to self perception demonstrating power and strength can be found outside of narrow stereotypes.
The "Beauty Never Gets Old" from Dove campaign also continues to disrupt outdated views where their campaign celebrated older individuals with positive messaging about strength style and independence challenging views where age is seen negatively by others in a positive format for all.
Cultural Shift and Films Confronting Age Gap Taboos on The Public Eye
Films such as Babygirl with Nicole Kidman explores societal discomfort and double standards regarding age in relationships showcasing age gap issues directly in its story format. Halina Reijn the director of “Babygirl” states she is trying to create better comfort and awareness that all types of love should be shown in the public domain despite popular views. "Babygirl" looks at creating normality around relationships despite societal norms of male and female age dynamics. Movies like The Perfect Find and The Idea of You are working to create better portrayals of love on screen while showing diversity in different types of relationships also with people of varied ages who all seek love . These various forms of cultural commentary all create awareness and push for better understanding within the popular views across global societies today that work against commonly accepted public stereotypes that do more harm than good to society and our collective cultures.
Practical Measures to Promote Intergenerational Relationships through Better Marketing
Many are now working towards promoting real relationships among age groups using inclusive messaging campaigns such as pushing against the trope of “senior moments”. Reports show that 55 plus aged people have not been adequately represented as active individuals despite major influence in purchasing power. Jeetendr Sehdev encourages more inclusive diverse representations for marketing which can help combat the problem plus advocacy for legal equity to support older populations as well as helping support educational projects like APA and health research organizations. This can push solutions for issues relating to financial insecurity or other concerns among these important social and economic demographics.
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Example Sets Direction for Creating Inclusivity in the Media and in Marketing
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s statements are setting a strong direction to confront discrimination with courage and relentless drive and these words combined with Jeetendr Sehdev's marketing ideas show new approaches towards age inclusion across brands and throughout cultures. Her experience shows a story where age becomes a way for growth plus strength while rejecting the popular concept that older equals a lack in any individual with new growth opportunities for everyone who may see things that way . Jeetendr Sehdev notes that action begins with self-evaluation as a method to acknowledge one's implicit biases to push against these outdated viewpoints and that by removing outdated stereotypes that are incorrect will create better social environments across multiple sectors like work places and more. This process of cultural change will work against discrimination and create equal future paths while encouraging positive evolution among populations by embracing all forms of age as growth and beauty as a concept of inner self respect not outer appearances.
