Roles as we age
Think about one of your grandparents, or someone you know of your grandparents’ generation. What roles does this person fulfill? When you are the same age, what roles do you expect to fulfill? How will your roles compare to the roles of someone currently that age?
Post an initial response of at least 250 words; respond to two students. Think about one of your grandparents, or someone you know of your grandparents’ generation. What roles does this person fulfill? When you are the same age, what roles do you expect to fulfill? How will your roles compare to the roles of someone currently that age?

How Relationships Change with Age
You have learned how Person-Environment Fit determines personal competence. This lesson examines the environmental piece of that equation—specifically, its human component. Gerontologists have studied how older individuals interact with the human environment, and have come up with a number of descriptions of what happens. Some of these are described below.
Role theory describes society’s expectations about how people should behave and what they should do. These expectations are based on a wide variety of factors, including age. A role is like a part a person plays, with a script that is written jointly by society and the person who takes on the roles (in some cases the two negotiate the details, in others behavioral rules are black and white, and anybody who breaks them is considered an “oddball”—or, perhaps even mentally ill or a criminal). The pressure put on people to conform to expectations is part of the process of socialization.
Some societies and cultures have more rigid roles than others. Roles may include those of male, female, student, parent, employee, businesswoman, husband, wife, son, patient, doctor, etc. Obviously, most of us hold a number of roles at any given time; some, we hold for a lifetime, some are brief, and others change over years. Many roles are associated with a certain age or stage of life, or “age-graded.” Age-grading is the expectation that people will adjust their behavior by modifying, adding or dropping roles to match what others believe they should do at a given age. For example, a 14-year-old girl is, in most Western cultures, considered to be too young to be a mother; in other cultures, however, motherhood may be within the age-normative expectation for that age group. In the classic picture of age-grading, roles are added gradually as we grow up, and increase in number throughout our middle-years. At some point, role loss may occur as children leave home, we retire from work, family members and friends die, and some hobbies and interests are abandoned. Theoretically, if society pushes an older person to drop unapproved roles, and no new roles are added, they can be left with only one role— “Old Person.”
There are several other theories about how and why people change their relationships with others as they age. The earliest (and most commonly applied) include Activity, Disengagement, and Continuity theories. Each of these is briefly described below. In addition to these three theories, a number of others have been proposed, and are described in your text. You will notice that some of these theories focus on individual behavior while others focus on social systems.
Activity theory sees age-related changes as leading us to adjust to the loss of old ties as we age. It says that normal adaptation includes finding new, and perhaps even a greater number, of interests to replace the dropped ones. New activities are chosen freely and can include volunteering, church involvement, and fun leisure pursuits like traveling or golf (perhaps even bungee jumping). This may explain why some retired people say that they are busier in retirement than they were while working. You will notice that activity theory emphasizes that the responsibility for staying active rests with the individual rather than resulting from of a push from society. Role theory, on the other hand, describes society as the party that calls the shots.
Like Role theory, Disengagement theory describes the loss of roles as a process that is enforced by society. As one after another role is lost, power is gradually transferred from older to younger individuals. Disengagement leads older adults to move gradually into passive roles with fewer and more superficial interactions with younger members of society. The positive consequences of disengagement, for both the individual and society as a whole, is that the elder gets to take it easy and prepare for death, and that valuable resources and responsibilities get passed on to the new generation. There is no research to support the idea of Disengagement as a normal stage of life. Unfortunately, some people still think that it is normal for older adults to retreat into their good memories of the past, and withdraw from the world. Disengagement, as a picture of “normal aging” should be actively rejected. In fact, an older person who looks and acts increasingly disengaged should be assumed to have a health problem that needs diagnosis and treatment.
Finally, Continuity theory was developed to reflect findings of the Kansas City Longitudinal Studies. This research revealed that people do not change dramatically with age (no surprise, as we found earlier that personality does not usually change dramatically either). But, critics of this theory note that it “overlooks the role of external social factors in modifying the aging process” (Hooyman & Kiyak, 2011, p. 289). While it is reasonable to assume that society changes its demands and expectations constantly, and that people must adapt to those changes, we have pretty good evidence that aging individuals seem to maintain their identities as they adapt. A comprehensive theory would have to look at both sides of the equation. Until we have a perfect theory that explains everything, the existing theories are very useful tools that stimulate us to observe more closely and ask important questions.

Research on traditional Najdi (region in Saudi Arabia) Architecture. Specifically looking at the transition from public to private in Nadji homes.
The Brief:
It consists of two parts, a Research Proposal and a Literature Review (I have attached a draft document with tutor feedback along with a short presentation on the general topic).
A. Research Proposal
This part of the submission should be no longer than 1000 words on two sides of A4 including any illustrations. The text should address the following points:
* Scope and focus: The research area and subjects that your proposal is concerned with, how you define its limits, the central issue to be investigated.
* Aims and objectives: what you are hoping to explore and discover. Objectives are the outcomes that your work will seek to achieve in pursuit of its overall aim. This should also include a presentation of the particular phenomena you wish to study (events/case-studies/places/buildings/examples etc)
* Research questions: problems posed, expressed as questions for investigation. Your dissertation has to be imagined as a response to these questions.
* Methods: How the research will be carried out to meet the objectives and answer the research questions. The more precise you can be, the more you can identify foreseeable hurdles and issues, the tighter the outcome will be.
B. Literature Review
A Literature Review serves two purposes. These are:
* To summarise your understanding of the current state of knowledge related to your chosen topic. This could be a critical review of definitions of a key-concept for your dissertation, a parallel examination of existing relevant research with the same scope. A critical examination of the application of a method to a number of case-studies/experiments/phenomena.
* To explain your specific focus and critical approach in the light of what work has already been done on that particular area.
The Literature Review component for Research Preparation should have the form of an essay . The review should be written as a critical evaluation of relevant publications and not merely a brief description of different accounts. You should try to explain the research context for your work. You will need to show genuine understanding of what you have read. Do not ‘isolate’ single sources in separate sections but intertwine them. If possible and suitable, let an argument structure the piece and provide the impetus. You can also structure your discussion in terms of different categories of literature, and/or in terms of particular themes, arguments or approaches.
The first task is to identify the relevant literature. The section below on ‘Finding Research Literature’ lists ways of accessing publications including books, journals, government publications, bibliographies, web sites, and the like. The list should demonstrate an editorial capacity to identify key works, which will help to make the review authoritative, while excluding irrelevant or less significant material. Discriminate between trivia and key works: work published in scholarly journals carries far greater authority than popular journalism and the unverified content of web sites. Some literature may supply needed evidence (news articles in newspapers, interviews with architects in magazines) while other literature (more academic) may supply the theoretical framing, the analysis etc.
A bibliography of all the works consulted must accompany your Literature Review. MHRA/HARVARD Footnote references should be used. The MHRA system is recommended, particularly for history and theory research (see section 10). The HARVARD system is more usual for social science and architectural science dissertations.
The review should be typed at 1.5 line spacing, and should be no more than 2000 words in length, excluding title, notes, bibliography and image captions (in addition to the Research Proposal).
Include the Proposal and Review in one single file.
The General Topic:
I have attached below the draft research proposal and literature review in one document. I also attached another document with the tutor feeedback. My topic is too general so I will need the research to be more detailed and specific.

Develop: Infographic or Timeline
Evaluation Title: Kinds of Pop Culture
As media grows and changes, we incorporate the new forms of communications into popular culture. However, the previous communication methods continue to be used as well.
Your assignment this week has two parts: First, you will create a timeline or infographic to address the following questions:
Research and provide examples or comparisons that demonstrate these changes over time from each of the categories: Print, Radio/Music, Cinema, Television, and the Internet. Include images of each artifact.
How have these various forms of communication have evolved since they were first introduced? (Give a “before” and “after”)
Second, you will write a mini-statement answering the following question.
In 300-500 words, give your opinion: Will pop culture ever stop using a form of media? Why or why not?
Specifications:
You will submit an Infographic or timeline in response to part 1 with an accompanying mini-statement to address part 2. Your infographic can be submitted as MS Word document or if you use an online infographic creator like the ones listed below you can submit your infographic as a URL. Your accompanying mini-statement can be included on your infographic or submitted separately as an MS Word document.
