Population Pyramids can also be called the age pyramid or an age picture. Population Pyramids show age populations in a particular country or region. This shows how it increases or decreases and this forms the shape of a pyramid. They also use male and female pyramids to try and predict what services might be needed to help a certain age group.

  • Intelligence and Age

    1585 Words  | 4 Pages

    Intelligence has been commonly thought to decline as we get older, however this is a flawed belief. Countless individuals will argue that there are various cognitive processes that are associated with changes in the brain that do deteriorate with time, however there are also other brain areas that increase their activity in older age. I believe a person’s ability to perform certain tasks may become slower as they get older, but this doesn’t automatically mean that they are cognitively getting less intelligent. There are numerous ways in which intelligence can be defined, although it is commonly defined as general cognitive skills, this means that it is a mental ability involved in the capacity of learning, reasoning, perceiving relationships and analogies, understanding, facts, meanings, etc. (Dictionary definition). However Raymond Cattell (1963) argued that ‘intelligence does not generally consist of only cognitive performance’. Cattell and Horns theory developed in 1966 and emphasises that intelligence is composed of a number of different abilities that interrelate to form the broad term of intelligence. The main two factors are crystallised and Fluid intelligence.

  • Aging Adult Subculture Paper

    The following research will examine the older adult subculture that comprises the increased homeless population in The United States. Aging adults are at a higher risk of experiencing homelessness than at any other time in recent history. Despite their growing numbers, homeless older adults remain largely invisible in society and there has been a pervasive lack of public focus on elder homelessness (Gonyea, Mills-Dick, & Bachman, 2010). As the population is aging, more and more of that population is aging into poverty. Approximately one half of homeless individuals in America are older than 50, which has created serious challenges for how cities, governments, and health care providers care for homeless populations (Sorrell, 2016).

    Childhood is one of the first biological life cycles we encounter. The experience that we go through shape what we will become. Here in America, as we began to industrialize, we began to have a different view of what childhood should be than in other parts of the world.

People in America might find this disturbing because we think of childhood as the first 12 years of life a carefree time of learning and play. But according to historian Philippe Aries (1965) explains, the whole idea of childhood is fairly new. During the middle ages, children of 4 and
