First, define gerontology. Describe the changing demographic patterns of the aging population that make gerontology a relevant field of study. How do demographic patterns vary by age, gender, race, and ethnicity? Next, discuss how the demographic changes in the population in the next decades will influence the type and delivery of community resources available to older adults?
Major historical events can shape the way a cohort behaves throughout their lives. As an example, individuals who grew-up during the Depression are often frugal with spending, even in old age.
Discuss a major historical event from your life course. How did this affect your life as an individual? As a generation? Lastly, do you think it will continue to impact you as you age? Why or why not?
Lastly, what is ageism (as it applies to the aging and older adult population)? Name two examples of ageism that you’ve personally witnessed, experienced, and/or perhaps even committed. According to your learning resources, how are these instances damaging to the aging population? How are these damaging to society as a whole?
