文化篇

Read the text carefully and be prepared to answer the question:

Youth Culture

Older people often encounter bias 1 against them.  America has such a strong youth culture that some men even feel the need to dye their hair when they find a few greys.  At the top of the corporate 2 ladder, age and experience are still valued.  But in many other facets 3 of life, older people are unfairly discriminated 4 against.

As upsetting as this is, we should not find it surprising.  In light of America's relentless 5 pursuit of the next new thing, American culture doesn't take the potential contributions of seniors as seriously as cultures that place a higher value on tradition do.
