Adultism has been defined as "the power adults have over children". More narrowly, 'adultism is prejudice and accompanying systematic discrimination against young people'. On a more philosophical basis, the term has also been defined as "bias towards adults... and the social addiction to adults, including their ideas, activities, and attitudes."
The word adultism was used by Patterson Du Bois in 1903, and appears in French psychology literature in 1929, describing the influence of adults over children. It was seen as a condition wherein a child possessed adult-like "physique and spirit", and was exemplified by,
This definition was superseded by a late 1970s journal article proposing that adultism is the abuse of the power that adults have over children. The author identified examples of adultism not only in parents but in teachers, psychotherapists, the clergy, police, judges, and juries.
Adultism is defined as the "behaviors and attitudes based on the assumptions that adults are better than young people, and entitled to act upon young people without agreement". It is also seen as, "an addiction to the attitudes, ideas, beliefs, and actions of adults." Adultism is popularly used to describe any discrimination against young people and is distinguished from ageism, which is simply prejudice on the grounds of age; not specifically against youth. Adultism is ostensibly caused by fear of children and youth. It has been suggested that 'adultism, which is associated with a view of the self that trades on rejecting and excluding child-subjectivity, has always been present in Western culture'.
In the summer of 2011, youth at Howard Area Community Center in Chicago´s Rogers Park neighborhood began discussions around oppression. Placing specific emphasis on adultism and how it affects their lives. This a short video of their experiences as well as their culminating project, an adultism house, where people were invited to confront adultist language as well as to engage in dialogue.
A closer look at the effects on Ageism and Adultism in are society.

Low vs. High time preferences are mutually-cancelling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_preference Neither preference is truth-apt. Nor is any "Happy Middle" sweet-spot preference slightly more truth-apt compared to the extreme ends of the spectrum. There is no truth/falsity dynamic at play here. Not thinly, and certainly not thickly. Both views are purely attitudinal; directed by individuals' affective and conative dispositions. Cognition is the third wheel, if at all present. It is the multilayered Affective & Conative mental attributes that do all of the decisional work in choosing between Low vs. High time valuation. Which segways nicely to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_careerism Whether extreme or moderate, careerist lifestyles can only be chosen by the individual, but ...
