Abstract
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led to an increase in stigmatizing and discriminatory discourses against older individuals in the community. Explaining that older adults are the highest risk group, labeling individuals based on chronological age instead of personal characteristics, restrictive measures taken, and the way these measures are framed and presented in mass media resources for these individuals reinforced negative stereotypes such as “illness,” “mental decline,” “uselessness,” “isolation,” and “poverty.” In this chapter, news media, as one of the sources leading to the circulation of negative messages about individuals of older age, is reviewed; stigmatizing and discriminatory statements and applications upon the appearance of older adults in Turkey in the national press (Sozcu, Hurriyet, and Sabah newspapers) are discussed, and solution have been made.

Women's Self-Perception of Opportunities and Challenges for Entrepreneurship
Discriminatory act conceived without proper knowledge of a given subject. Employed in this chapter as one of the difficulties of inserting women in the market as entrepreneurs. This is because throughout the history of women a stereotype has been created about these people, so when the woman begins to ascend is created a preconceived concept that women should or should not perform certain activities in society, and this is another barrier to be overcome in women's entrepreneurship.
