Mandatory retirement

State Patrol I have been interested in law enforcement since I was a little kid. I have always admired what they do every day protecting people and catching bad guys. I grew up watching Alaska State Troopers and seeing what they do really got me interested. Another show that I watch is the show cops it really gives me an insight on day to day life of officers. Mr. Meek really got me interested in the state patrol when he had a state patrol recruiter come in and talk to me about joining up. The…

I believe that a proper retirement plan must be started as soon as possible. I do not currently have a retirement account, but at the current age of 30, I know how important it is to get one started as soon as possible. My father is almost 68 and cannot think about retiring because he never established a retirement plan. I want to be able to live with my husband in a house that we have paid off and be driving cars that…

There are different issues affecting the aging services today and I would be discussing one of them in this paper. “Time bomb: Aging population may explode global economy by 2050” was the headline of the article I read a few days ago. What was the article about? The article brought my attention to some really surprising facts. Firstly, the population of people hat were over 60 years of age is “double” the amount it was 30 years back and is believed to even double its present amount by the year…

The human body is exceptionally durable relative to its size, especially against the inevitable. Aging occurs in everything- people, animals- even bacteria. While not everything ages the same, every living thing undergoes changes as they get older. These changes can affect the brain, organs, and skin.

Many young people dread the evitable, old age, the process of “loss and deterioration” states (Copper, 1986). As time goes by and they transition through young adulthood, middle adulthood, and finally late adulthood these feelings may change. Some people keep the mentality that old age is a terrible thing and everything goes downhill after age fifty, while others are more optimistic and look forward to becoming older. I am a firm believer that late adulthood preconceived state-of-mind is based…

Prediction of Future Successful Aging My definition of successful aging is reaching old age in good health, independent and healthy social life. Successfully retiring from the postal service at age of 54, I’ve already began to experience aspects of the retirement phase. I firmly believe that age is only a number, so I don’t plan on allowing getting older to slow me down. The strategies for reaching the successful aging stage will consist of maintaining good nutritional habits, moderate level of…

To understand the process of ageing as a mass phenomenon and the attempt to break away from the existing structures of the normative and stereotypes, one needs to understand the constant tension between the personal narrative and the cultural narrative, what Hannah Zeiling calls as the meta -narrative.

knowledge I have with them easier. Furthermore I will have to the ability to teach things by showing rather than just telling. Doing this will allow a less stressful learning situation and a happier outcome. My biggest fear is living my last days in a retirement home.

There is also a community-based long-term health care center which gives these…
