I completely agree with Nelson that there is a cultural bias in the modernized, American society in that youthfulness is jubilantly celebrated, while aging is frowned up. This viewpoint is the highlight of the article because it depicts the root cause of the cultural bias: our own fear of aging (Nelson, 2011).

When he wrote The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer wrote his personal views effectively by using a scapegoat: Chaucer, the pilgrim. Chaucer, the poet, used his scapegoat to keep himself…
