Discussion: Impact of Ageism and Adultism
Adultism refers to the oppression of young people by adults. The popular saying "children should be seen and not heard" is used as a way to remind a child of his or her place and reaffirm the adult's power in the relationship.
The saying suggests that children's voices are not as important or as valid as an adult's and they should remain quiet.
Children are often relegated to subordinate positions due to socially constructed beliefs about what they can or cannot accomplish or what they should or should not do; this in turn compromises youth's self-determination.
This oppression is further highlighted when considering the intersection of age with race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation.
