We live in a diverse world where the recognition of this diversity and the need for further equality among the diverse populations in our society is being further and more conscientiously being considered. This is as it should be. Our society has been in great turmoil regarding different populations that are not treated equally and it is time this has been brought to attention. However, there is one population, especially in an American society that continues to go unnoticed. This population may no longer be able contribute or achieve in the way an individualistic society expects, and therefore, they are the forgotten population. Older adults, as one may have guessed, is the population being discussed. The seniors in American society, and perhaps in other societies, are often overlooked, undervalued, and shoved aside. Children are very limited and cannot contribute, but we still consider them in high regard because they have potential based on our individualistic values. Unfortunately, this is not seen as the case for older adults. If we are to consider ourselves a truly diverse and equal based society, older adults must be considered an equally important population.
