Some people suggest that workers over 50 are not open to changin ideas and technologies in the modern workplace and that younger workers are preferred. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this perspective?

The diagram illustrates information about the changes in the rates of fast food consumption by the youth in Australia over a period of 3 decades. Overall, there is an increasing trend in the number of

times

fish, chips and hamburgers are eaten, whereas the graph for pizza consumption is declining.

To begin

with, the eating of fish and chips started highly at 100

times

in 1975.

This

figure dropped slowly to nearly 80

times

per year in 1980 but recovered slightly to roughly 95 in the

next

5 years. From

then

on, a steady decrease can be observed until the lowest amount of just under 40

times

in 2000.

Furthermore

, the plottings for the manner in which Australian teenagers ate pizza and hamburgers are similar,

although

the figures for the latter are slightly higher. They both begin below 20

times

in 1975. The line for hamburgers experienced a sharp rise to approximately 85

times

in 1985. It

then

rises more steadily in the following years, before remaining constant at the peak of 100 in the

last

half a decade. Contrary, pizza recorded a gradual rise from 1975 (the year the least consumption rate for all fast foods was recorded) until 1995, but in the

last

years of the review was

also

constant at 100

times

, the summit for all the products.
