We are facing a truly irreversible: the population aged over 65 tend to represent the mid-21st century, a quarter of its population. Awareness of this reality, invite reflection and knowledge, on the one hand, and change, on the other side. So knowing how much change is desirable and would come from several perspectives: economic, political, legislative, administrative, structural, societal, cultural, and last but not least, moral and ethics. Analyses of demographic, political and legislative signals global aging societies, and the fact that they are unprepared to cope with the complexity of the phenomenon. Conceptual analysis, through the concepts of homogeneity-heterogeneity, and in terms of ethical and moral concepts, highlights the urgent stretching for gerontological knowledge, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. Realized that the elderly population is a heterogeneous category, even if demographic aging is a global phenomenon has consequences in the action plan and social attitudes: ethics society is one that is oriented towards raising awareness and changing the discourse, in relation to the increasing number of generations elderly. Leave more space for personal ethical attitude historicity, context and becoming individual existence, diversity.
Keywords: aging societies, gerontology, homogeneity-heterogeneity, ethical-moral, interdisciplinarity
