old age  

Definition(s)

  • Throughout U.S. history, American attitudes to aging among males have changed from veneration to condescension to an emerging understanding of the potential rewards of a long life. These shifts, along with changing expectations about reaching old age, have transformed the social and cultural relations between old age and masculinity.
