All cultures around the world draw distinctions between people on the basis of age. ---- Americans commonly distinguish between infants, toddlers, school children, adolescents, young adults, middle-aged adults, and senior citizens. On the other hand, in many African cultures, males are classified into the categories of newly born infants, children on the lap, young boys, experienced bachelors, married men, elders, and retired elders. When cultures classify individuals into categories on the basis of age, each category forms an age-grade. People who are roughly the same chronological age are then members of the same age-grade.
