Negative Item: The Use Of Adult Diaper In The Media

My negative item is the adult diaper. When people think of adult diaper, they think of incontinence and losing control of their own body. Many older adults are being portrayed in the media as slow, incapable, and rely on the help of caretakers to keep them clean. Hence the use of an adult diaper. People avoid talking about adult diaper, and the media often portrays older adult’s needs to use adult diaper because they cannot help themselves. That stereotype instills fear of aging into people and many older adults dread it. However, like many other stereotype, that is simply not true. Although it is the fact that as people age their body reaction is going be slower, older adult people are still perfectly capable of living an independent life
