Özet:

This article aims to analyse, by working on a sample group, how one of the sides, that is the young, see the other side, namely the elderly people. The article tries to understand from which aspects the young people criticize the elderly people, to discuss the observed problems and to suggest solutions. Accordingly, as an applied starting point, a group of young people have been selected for the study. These young people involved in the study as a sample group have especially been chosen from among the university students who are studying at the departments of Gerontology, Social Work, and Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation. They are students who are studying in their first, second, fourth or eighth semester. Consequently, they have already taken compulsory or elective courses on aging and old age and are, consequently, expected to know the subject. These students have been, through the method of question-answer, asked questions about their negative views on elderly people. The article first presents data on the question asked and the answers received from the students. Then, within the framework of the answers, it analyses and discusses the current problematic state of the issue, and finally offers suggestions for the solution of the defined problems.
