    I think that our culture has a lot to do with it. I am not going to defend the older woman’s rudeness, because there’s no excuse for being rude. However, I went to college in a Latin American country and one thing I noticed right away was a difference in the way we see old people. In some cultures, nursing homes are a rarity, and old people mostly live with relatives who take care of them. Sadly, in the United States, nursing homes are the norm.
