<em>Answer:</em>

<em>75   </em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>In psychology, </em><em>the term "Ageism" was first proposed by Robert N. Butler to described discrimination and prejudice towards people who are old and based on the fact that ageing makes individuals less productive, intelligent, attractive, and sexual, etc.</em>

<em>Generally,</em><em> people resist ageism due to various reasons including fear of disability, fear of dependence, and fear of death. However, people tend to avoid, reject, or segregate ageism and therefore it is considered as their coping mechanism in regards to age.</em>
