For this report I interviewed my great grandmother, Margaret Westphal, about the changes she is encountering within each domain throughout late adulthood. Last April she celebrated her 76th birthday and appears to be aging successfully according to John Rowe and Robert Kahn (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 462). Rowe and Kahn define successful aging as maintaining physical health, cognitive abilities, being involved in social and productive activities, and being satisfied with life. (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 462). When asked questions regarding the physical domain, several things my grandmother mentioned are common changes that occur in late adulthood. At age 75 she had surgery to remove cataracts in both of her eyes. Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes clouded and impairs vision (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 440). More than 60% of adults over the age of 75 are affected by cataracts (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 440). My grandmother also commented on how she tries to avoid driving in the dark. This is likely due to it being difficult for the pupils to dilate or constrict in response to light or darkness (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 397). The final visual difference mentioned was that she has become farsighted. She said she typically holds items, such as a newspaper, farther away to obtain an improved view of it. These changes are collectively referred to as presbyopia (Boyd & Bee, 2012, p. 396). Presbyopia is defined as the normal loss of visual perception, especially difficulty focusing on near…

There are many points in this story that can be viewed from a feminist’s perspective. When she is first told about her husband’s death, the story states, “She did not hear the story as any women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance” (Axelrod 496). The word “women” is used rather than “people”, this phrasing could be saying that women are unable to comprehend important or significant problems. This also can insinuate that men are more capable of coping with…

she will have independence in her life. This sudden realization of being an independent woman makes Mrs. Mallard happy. Mrs. Mallard’s sister, Josephine, calls her out of her room because she doesn’t want Mrs. Mallard to hurt herself. As they are both walking down the stairs the front door opens, and her not dead husband is standing there. Mrs. Mallard appears to have a heart attack, but it is too late for the doctors so she is pronounced dead. The use of irony is a major component in the…

Who is the offeror and who is the offeree? The offer is a manifestation by one party’s willingness to enter a contract (Goldman and Cheeseman 493). The offeror is the party who makes the offer while an offeree is the party who the offer is made out to (Goldman and Cheeseman 492). An example of this can be seen in an auction where the auctioneer is the is the offeror and the person bidding is the offeree. The offer would be along the lines of exchanging a certain amount of money for the right to…

who participated had more experience than men did. They had their pilot’s license, “unlike most men accepted for training as military pilots” (Dubois and Dumenil 2016, 496). Of the female applicants, white females were preferably accepted, and out of the twenty-five thousand applicants two Mexican American, two Chinese American, and one Native Americans were accepted. (Dubois and Dumenil 2016, 496). The one female African American who applied was forced to withdraw her application (Dubois and…

She analyzes both psychological and conduct of different lifestyles as a way of understanding Sarty's incompatibility with his father. Abner chooses “The Paranoid way of life” (496) who is egocentric, close-minded, and a law breaker while Sartoris chooses “The Apollonian way of life” (496) who follows rules, the common good, and the path of righteousness. Conversely, Sarty pleases his father by concealing his actions and following in his father’s footsteps, not because he embraces his actions…

The first half of Alexie 's narrative involves his childhood on the reservation. Alexie uses an emotional appeal of his feelings and develops good credibility with a personal anecdote of his family. Throughout the whole paper, Alexie describes mostly emotional. The main stereotypes that Native AMericans are uneducated. Alexie describes, “ A little Indian boy teaches himself to read at an early age and advances quickly… If he might have been anything but an Indian boy living on the reservation,…

"after school" portion of the story, the middle-aged man becomes a "Grandpa" whom a young man "gallantly" offers to escort across a busy street. Coming of age and maturation correspond to the time spent at school, and this second part of the story covers aging or growing old.”(Carol par.3) When the boy came out of school to return home he realizes that there has been so many changes within the town he lived in. He stated “Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When…

She would just cry and I would tend to her with whatever she needed. Now that she is older, she is able to solve some of her problems on her own with the skills that she has developed. By allowing Finley to solve some of these problems on her own and to make her own decision, I am participating in coregulation. When children get older, parents shift the control that they have from adult to child (Berk & Meyers, 2016, p. 496). Coregulation is “a form of supervision in which they exercise general…

slightly more flexible as it does not dictate the use of motifs. However, the details as a "generator of the character of a building" approach can be applied to all buildings as one can look at a building and ask whether or not the details strengthen its character. The expressive detail is different from the authentic detail in that the expressive detail is a detail that clearly communicates the architectural expression of a project. The expressive detail is achieved through a careful…
