  • The Aging Connection
  •  
  • The number of older Americans has increased
    dramatically because older adults are living
    longer partly due to the improvements in health
    care technology. However, the question of quality
    of life has been raised as people live longer and
    experience more health problems in the midst of
    rising health care costs and, as the textbook
    authors note, individuals past health histories
    also directly affect their use of health care and
    will continue to do so (Markson Stein, 2012).
  • DQ1 After reading about the physical impairments
    related to age in Chapter 4 of the textbook and
    watching Aging, visit Sociology of Aging Age
    Related Impairments A Simulation Exercise and
    select at least two of the impairments that are
    listed in the exercise. After selecting the
    impairments that you will be simulating, use the
    household items that are listed and proceed with
    carrying out your normal tasks around your home.
    Then, describe which impairments you simulated
    and what you experienced. Answer the following
    questions

  • SOC 304 Week 2 DQ 2 Self-Concept in Old Age
  • SOC 304 Week 3 DQ 1 Sexual Orientation in Later
    Life
  • DQ2In Chapter 5 of your textbook, you learned
    about the self-concept, which is how an
    individual thinks of herself or himself. Although
    the self-concept is something that is established
    early in life, it changes as one grows older
    through life experiences. After reading the
    chapter, address the following
  • DQ1 Chapter 7 in your textbook discusses the
    unique issues that are experienced by older gay
    men and lesbians in society. Review that chapter
    and watch Isnt Aging the Same for Everybody?
    to prepare for this discussion. In addition,
    review the information related to resources for
    the aging found at the LGBT Aging Resources
    Clearinghouse for this discussion. Then,
    consider what the issues facing older gay men and
    lesbians are. Specifically, discuss the legal
    issues that are related to public policies,
    end-of-life decisions, housing, and health care.
    Compare and contrast the experiences of older
    gays and lesbians with those of older
    heterosexuals

  • SOC 304 Week 3 DQ 2 Social Responsibility to the
    Elderly
  • SOC 304 Week 4 DQ 1 Age Discrimination
  • DQ2 You will be reading Chapter 7 of the
    textbook and an article titled Demography of
    Aging in China and the United States and the
    Economic Well-Being of Their Older Populations
    (found in the ProQuest database, in the
    University Library) to prepare for this
    discussion. In addition, you will watch Family
    Care for Aging Parents.
  •  
  • In Demography of Aging in China and the United
    States and the Economic Well-Being of Their Older
    Populations, you are introduced to the roles of
    the family and government in the East as well as
    in the West
  • DQ1 The Age Discrimination in Employment Act
    (ADEA) prohibits discrimination against
    individuals who are aged 40 and older. This law
    acknowledges that age discrimination is a
    violation of an individuals civil rights. Aging
    is inevitable and ADEA addresses the needs of
    older individuals who need access to
    opportunities for gainful employment. Consider
    what this law does and what aspects of employment
    it covers.

  • SOC 304 Week 4 DQ 2 Family and Medical Leave Act
  • SOC 304 Week 5 DQ 2 Medicare
  • DQ2A growing number of American employees are
    having to care for their elderly parents.
    Caregiving may include taking extended periods of
    time off from work. The Family and Medical Leave
    Act (FMLA) of 1993 addresses this need by
    providing some employees with up to twelve weeks
    of unpaid leave per year without fear of losing
    their jobs.
  •  
  • After reviewing the required resources for this
    discussion, please address each of the following
    questions
  •  
  • DQ2As Chapter 11 in your textbook notes, the
    costs for health care have risen dramatically and
    are expected to continue to rise. While Medicare
    is a public insurance program that provides
    coverage to almost everyone who is 65 and older,
    it only covers a portion of health care expenses.
    In fact, the authors of your textbook note that
    if current trends continue, by 2030 half of
    those aged 65 and older will spend more than 25
    of their income on medical bills and insurance
    premiums (Markson Stein, 2012).
