The term "ageing" is somewhat ambiguous. Distinctions may be made between 'universal ageing' (age changes that people share) and 'probabilistic ageing' (age changes that may happen to some, but not all people as they grow older).
Chronological ageing - Referring to how old a person is. Which is probably the most straightforward definition of ageing and may be distinguished from "social ageing" (society's expectations of how one should act as they get older) and "biological ageing" (an organism's physical state as it ages).
Age can be used as an importation representation to categorise people. As we "categorise" people we are using our own judgments to justify our reasons.
Things to consider:
What age types are there?
How do we assume someone is young or old?
