• In the articled entitled Labeling and the
  Onset of Old Age, James M. Henslin discusses the
  contributing factors that spur people to apply
  the label of old to themselves. First, Henslin
  describes how biology makes people call
  themselves old because of signs of aging, such as
  wrinkles. The writer mentions that another
  factor is an individuals history or biography
  accidents may cause limited mobility or other
  circumstances in life give self-concepts of being
  old. In addition, he points out that gender,
  age, and the relative that a culture places on
  men and women are interpreted as signs of being
  mature or old. For example, for individuals who
  marry with a great age difference, people assume
  that the woman is younger. Finally, Henslin
  concludes that signals of aging in society, such
  as birthdays, are traditions that make people
  feel old and cannot be controlled.
