Part A: Why is it useful to think about aging as a lifelong process, not just something that affects older people?
Introduction
The concept of aging can be considered as deterioration with respect to time of the psychological functions of human genesis which is important for fertility as well as survival. The concept is growing its awareness among every age group especially in the older aged ones. The following essay would be highlighting the aging concept over later age and thus imply theoretical concepts to provide justifications. In addition, there would be considered the benefits as well as the limitations of aging and its implication over the individuals. The content would mainly highlight the aspects of usefulness of aging and thus its effect on individuals thinking about it.
Concepts and ideas on "Aging on later life" and usefulness about thinking of aging
In terms of De Beauvoir, there are few concepts that prompt one's thinking about aging being a lifelong procedure. According to him, the concept of aging is more secular and showcases the reality of seeking ways in order to deny the negative notions of upgrading ages. One of the primary reasons for this statement is the possibility of recognising the effects of aging and its effects and secondly, the easiness in watching older people being just humans who are with long ages (Laslett, 1989). The existence of biological equality can be evidenced by these approaches. The biological aging is considered to be results of advances within activity of human genes that play in illness that are related to age and thus promote their wellness to a certain limit.
In terms of its effect over older people, the concept of ageism can conspire. It can be referred to as the stereotyping procedure on a systematic track and thus produce discriminations against older individuals (Butler and Lewis, 1973). It generally allows the younger generation to view them as different from themselves; however, they are prone to subtly tease their identification favouring their elders in form of human beings. Here the usefulness factor lies in form of preservation of qualities from the youth generation and thus manage their later on life. However, in opinion of Bytheway, ageism factor is contested as not being equivalent to sexism or racism as there is unavailability of group discriminating (Bytheway and Johnson, 2010). 
The concept of age over later life and its usefulness can be contested in favour of third and fourth age. The usefulness of third age can be favoured through freeing as much as possible for pursuing the activities that anyone finds fulfilling on a personal note. On contrary, the fourth age tends to decline of age towards death (Bultena and Powers, 1978). An example of third and fourth age can be considered in favour of Monty Meth and Davies. Monty is 3 years younger than Molly and unlike her; Monty is more pertinent towards his social life and thus being very satisfied with life.
On contrary, Molly is depressive from her social life and is subjected as for being unable to prosper life as she wants to have. Here it can be said that Monty Meth has his aging factor less optimised than that of Molly Davies. Hence Monty can be categorized as in Third Age while Molly can be categorized for being within fourth age. The same can be contested through theory of Life Course. In light of Monty’s aspects, there has been found both biological as well as social chains that have led him to prosper the risks of his life and thus eliminate the inequalities of aging (Jones, 2011). However, in favour of Molly, the factor stays negative as for producing risks on a major scale hampering her aging factor.
Undesirable things occurring when thinking about aging and its effect over older people
One of the undesirable things that can be favoured through concept of aging is discrimination and being effective over both the young and old, highlighting the older ones especially. In terms of discrimination, it can be contested that, the chronological age evidence and that of older person's sight are the most appreciable points of discrimination (Loretto & White, 2006). For example, prejudices are followed against older patients in hospitality sectors. There are factors available such as presumed associations that differentiate between the younger and older ones, and especial legitimate is being used for treating the older ones. In turn it sustains to give them the sense of pleasure that they expect in their nagging times. 
Regarding employment aspects, there is also the factor of retirement as an undesirable thing and is judged by the fa
