If they once cared for me, then it’s my time now to care for them. When a baby is born a mother knows that at that moment they are not living anymore their life’s alone that they have a miracle from God. Their whole life takes a 180 degrees change. Their responsibility is to care for that child, teach that child, and prepare them for the future. However, after this child grows what happens to that person that cared and loved so many years until that child was ready to leave the nest. I think that that person should never be forgotten or mistreated. This is my philosophy of aging that we are flowers that once bloom and shined and then shriveled but the sun never stopped shining. It’s so pedestrian to forget a person that has done so much for your life.

My grandma and grandpa are the most important elderly people in my life. I think that the way I love them and my interactions with them play a big factor on my perception of elderly. I’m able to see the world through a different perspective because of what they teach me every day. Being close to them allows me to understand the struggles and challenges that they face. It also allows me to understand why elderly people act the way they do. In other words, it’s a total different perception when you experience it than learning from books or

Considering my age, it wasn’t a topic that crossed my mind frequently. By the end of Cowley’s essay I didn’t have empathy for older people, but rather compassion and a sense of understanding. Cowley’s ability to familiarize me with an 80 year old’s perspective as a college student was enough to convince me that Cowley’s essay was effective in communicating his point. Cowley develops argumentation through multiple lenses including the personal physical and psychological conflicts as well as societal behavior towards elderly people and how this treatment, good or bad, is perceived by old

Positive views of aging and older adults include characterizations of older adults as calm, cheerful, helpful, intelligent, kindly, neat and stable. They are also viewed as more reliable, engaging in less criminal activity, volunteering more, as well as having a better social status.

Their days are no longer filled with the duties of caring for a home or children, and many times they are often lonely and feel that they no longer have direction or purpose. For many, there are health issues, and concerns, and medical care can take up a significant part of their lives. For some, being elderly means freedom from the drudges of work, but now they must face the fact that life has changed and that they must find other ways to maintain a sense of relevance and well-being. In addition it means that they must learn to depend on new ways of thinking and being to achieve that kind of sense of well-being. For others, it means depression and a sense of hopelessness that is known to plague our elderly.
