- What did we see in the vintage shop
Our project’s theme is Ageism, and we finally decided to nail down this subject to a more specific one called the gap between generations. The reason why we started with this theme is that we’ve seen a lot of elderly people lives in Margate without the company of their children, and part of them even lives alone in this small town. In the meanwhile, some elderly people who lives in other cities came here for visiting, and the most of them are alone or with their partners because they really enjoy the peaceful seaside scenery and there’s no teenagers would like to go with them.
What’s more, younger generations like children and teenagers remains a large majority, since their innocence and playfulness, but based on our observation, they were just focused on their playing, swimming, etc, they barely talked to elderly people and they wouldn’t join together of activities.
On the one hand, it seems like younger generations don’t care about elderly people’s feeling or what’s happened to their entire lives; on the other hand, some grandparents would worried about how they can communicate with teenagers, and some of them might think that younger generations would dislike them or showing impatience if they even don’t know how to download an application on their mobile phone. They are afraid of communicating with teenagers in some extents, but they want that connection actually.
