Description: "Out with the Old" creates a satitical representation of elder neglect. An elderly woman is shown to be put out with the garbage, as the garbage truck comes to pick up the trash. The family that is waving goodbye from the door symbolizes the lack of close family bonds, as seen in the practice of off-loading lder family members into extended care homes.
