A Venn diagram consisting of two blue circles intersecting to create a red area in the middle. The blue circle on the left has title ‘Hostile prejudice’ and lists the following examples: ‘Older people can’t use new tech’ and ‘Older people are a drain on society’. The blue circle on the right has the title ‘Benevolent prejudice’ and lists the following examples: ‘Older people are kindly or child-like’ and ‘Older people are vulnerable’. The red intersection area between the two blue circles has the heading ‘Implications’. Underneath this it says ‘Discrimination’, ‘People are patronised’ and ‘People are overlooked and undervalued’.
