America is ambivalent about the wisdom of older people in popular culture. On the one hand, the media provide us with buffoonish images of the old, like Grandpa Simpson. Or they positioned as
"sages" - characters ranging from Yoda to Dumbledore. And yet, I believe that younger Americans are more open that us adults to the idea of older people being potential repositories of wisdom in their lives. This article encourages nurturing both ourselves and our children in this direction.
