Discussion: Sociocultural Differences in Perspectives on Aging


 

  • Review the Learning Resources on sociological aspects of later adulthood.
  • Using the Walden Library, research two cultures different from your own and examine their perspectives on aging.
  • An example search in the library databases is social conditions or sociocultural AND aging.

Post a comparison of your culture’s perspective on aging to the perspectives of the two cultures you researched. Explain why you think these differences exist. Also, explain how different perspectives on aging might impact social work practice.
