*For this project, the goal is to GATHER THE EVIDENCE OF DISCRIMINATION. Interview 2 people for the Age discrimination experience: age, neighborhood, relationship to you, then ask yourself the question: “How is this person’s experience with growing old different from what you have read?” Suggest a number of possible areas you think your interviewee’s life is different from the facts you have read.
*The discrimination you plan to research can include HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, and/or SCHOOL AGAINST ANY OF THE MINORITY ETHNIC GROUPS (Blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Latinos, and Native Americans). Age is often issue in any discrimination. Try to include as many of the following topics:
• Migration history to trace the history of the senior from childhood to current residence in Southern California. (Place of birth. Where did the person spend his/her childhood, teenage years, and adulthood?) (What brought the person to the LA area?)
• Inter-generational relations and old age support. (Living arrangements: living alone, with spouse, co-residence, quasi-co residence or other arrangements.)
• Financial Support (Financial Arrangement: personal savings, children’s contribution, pensions or social security income, current work income, etc.)
• Companionship and Social Support (Family Support: companionship and social support from children, grandchildren and other relatives.) (Extra-familial informal social support: (social networks of friends for exercise, shopping, meals and trips.)) (Extra-familial formal social support: (e.g.) Meals on Wheels and other services provided by Aging Agencies, homecare worker and hospital services))
• To Be Old & Ethnic (or the minority majority in LA) (What are the things that made you happy in your old age? How is your old age different from your expectations? How does your interviewee’s old age experience differ from the old age experience indicated in your readings? What cultural and ethnic generalities could you say about your elderly interviewee?
Another form of evidence of discrimination is what people tell you. The person who is a victim of discrimination is a witness of a form of discrimination. Therefore, you want to interview a person who is quite old and ask about the person’s experience with discrimination. Questions can include the What, When, Where, How, Why type of question. You should gather as much detail as possible. California before or around the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The number of elderly interviewed can be 2-3.
You may also find evidence of discrimination in advertisements in old newspapers. Sometimes those items are newsworthy and therefore written up as news.
