INTRODUCTION
Life is actually a cycle, start from infant until became an elderly, all humankind will experienced the same cycle throughout their life and nothing can differentiate them, the only thing that can differentiate humankind was their life experience and how they carried out their life throughout that whole cycle. For our group assignment we have decided to study about elderly people because as we know, elderly usually have more thrilling life experience that we can learnt and make lesson of. The definition and the range age of an elderly people was a little bit hard to determine because everyone has their own definition in describing what was meant as an elderly people to them but usually standard age of someone that can be recognized as an elderly people was those who were 60 years old and above.
Our history were mainly consist of young people who were able to bring changes and if there was elderly people whom become one of the world or certain countries history, that was because he or she have made something that was beneficial for their country. But there was rarely any stories that was made for common societies especially the elderly people. For some reason, these elderly people whom their stories were hidden far behind the acknowledgement of our societies were usually have a great and wonderful history about themselves and maybe about...

History allows us to find how we fit into our homes, communities, and nations. It also gives us a common ideal; to know from where we came and from there, know where we are going. As individuals, we can also use history to understand the heart, value, and belief that caused our nation to become strong. It brings a people together, keeping them strong.
There are many environmental influences as well as human behaviors that contribute to one’s expected life span. Health and lifestyle are two major factors that play a role in determining what life would be like during the senior years of life. There are many advantages to having a strong social support network that consists of caregivers paid and unpaid. Seniors with this tend to live longer, remain independent and stay active in their later years. Citizens in today’s society are living longer due to technology, medications and an overall healthier lifestyle. Many reach the age of 100 but the maximum human life span is 120 years old. One’s personal data, career choices, environmental influences and amount of active interactions will determine how those of the older population will experience the aging process.

Currently there are over 461 million elderly adults, aged 65 years old, and this figure is expected to rise to over two billion by year 2050 (Clegg, Young, Iliffe, Rikkert, & Rockwood, 2013). However, as seniors are living longer lives, chronic, debilitating illnesses are putting a strain on the healthcare system and families taking care of their parents. The purpose of this discussion board post is to talk about one thing that I was surprised to learn and did not know until after viewing an assigned video. I will also tell how this one thing that I learned will affect my nursing practice in the years to come.
...d up in lysosomes of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Once broken, in an improper process, into toxic peptides which are associated with Alzheimer's Disease, researchers suggest they are perhaps a reason for the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Within weeks of using gene therapy to increase the activity of the NEU1 enzyme, it was found that plaque began to decline. The regions in which the researchers saw a decline in plaque was in the hippocampus.
At the stage elderly people don't involve in as much interaction with others. They do enjoy being around family and friends for the support and love. They are more interested in being around individuals who can help to enhance their emotional state. They are not really interested in going out much and moving around a lot. Many in the late adulthood have retired and become committed to younger ones in their families. Some older people still may have to work to support themselves financially.
Aging and old age for a long time presented as dominated by negative traits and states such as sickness, depression and isolation. The aging process is not simply senescence most people over the age of 65 are not Senile, bedridden, isolated, or suicidal (Aldwin & Levenson, 1994). This change in perspective led the investigation of the other side of the coin. Ageing is seen as health, maturity and personal Royal growth, self-acceptance, happiness, generatively, coping and acceptance of age-related constraints (Birren & Fisher, 1995). Psychological und...
Late adulthood should be a time in a person's life where they feel fulfilled. They can look back on their memories and be happy with the way they have lived their life. Now, too many elderly people are not satisfied and look at this stage as depressing. Most fear death of either a loved one or for themselves. This topic is interesting to me because elderly people should make the best of their last stage of life. This topic discusses about getting older, the life changes that they go through physically, emotionally, and mentally. We should know more about it so that we can help our family and friends get through one of the best, yet toughest part of our mortal life.
As one ages, the body accumulates a myriad of multidimensional changes in the realms of physical, biological, psychological, and social alterations. These changes can manifest from a deficiency in one area or an abundance in another. According to the student nurse, these changes can be functional, potentially dysfunctional, or dysfunctional based on Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns. The student nurse conducts a similar interview and assessment process with each patient to gather subjective and objective data related to the health and wellness of the individual. The function of the student nurse’s interview process using Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns reflects the purpose of the interviewing an elderly individual in the community. The purpose of this paper is to emulate the nursing process by ranking the priority of care for the identified health problems using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
“The Golden Years? You've got to be kidding...(Nelson)” Ageism is the main influence for how older people view the aging process. Despite stereotypes, today, for the first time in history, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. A longer life represents an important opportunity, not only for older people and their families, but also for societies as a whole. Additional years provide the chance to pursue new activities such as further education or a long-neglected passion, while continuing to make valuable contributions to family and community.
In the USA, those who have attained the age of 65 years and above are considered to be the elderly and the senior citizens. It is the age that the individual has contributed the maximum to the building of the nation and generally retires to their retirement homes in the country side, some even choose to leave the country and spend the rest of their lives outside the USA.
The biological theories of aging support categorizing individuals according to chronological age as they take into account the common physiologic changes that appear as an adult ages. For example, the gene theory suggests that each cell, or whole person, has an inherent aging code that already knows the age at which the cell will no longer function (Lange & Grossman, 2014, p. 80). Some sociological theories of aging enforce the categorizing of older adults, such as the age stratification theory. This theory separates the categories according to the historical context in which the group develops postulating that each generation has different ideologies, attitudes, and values, as well as, expectations of aging (Lange & Grossman, 2014, p. 70).
Though our history may bring back horrible memories of the ?grimmest dimensions of human nature? (Limerick 472), it is necessary to have a good historical background. History gives us the ability to improve future outputs, satisfy our unending need for knowledge, and understand how many policies and regulations have come to be. Without history mankind would be very primitive and ununified. Our complete molding of the world today is almost completely dependent on the fact that we study our history. Without history present day humans would be nothing more than cavemen.
History is a story told over time. It is a way of recreating the past so it can be studied in the present and re-interpreted for future generations. Since humans are the sole beneficiaries of history, it is important for us to know what the purpose of history is and how historians include their own perspective concerning historical events. The purpose and perspective of history is vital in order for individuals to realise how it would be almost impossible for us to live out our lives effectively if we had no knowledge of the past. Also, in order to gain a sound knowledge of the past, we have to understand the political, social and cultural aspects of the times we are studying.
Age is but a number. A number that classifies, organizes, and can even define someone. It holds opportunities to learn new things and determines when the path into adulthood begins. The linear notion created by steadily increasing numbers is a very narrow outlook on age. It assumes that as someone grows in age, they are changing both mentally and physically. This, however, is far from the truth. Age is beyond the numbers; it is what lies within. When numbers are disregarded and the qualities attributed to each phase of life is examined, a sequence of repetition can be observed. Instead of growing old, it can be seen as regressing to adolescence. The two outliers of life, infancy and elderly, are far more similar than any numerical value could ever project.
