Aging
1. Summary
-Define terms
Aging is a biological and social process in which humans experience and achieve biological and social maturity levels. It can be seen as subjective sociological, intertwined with relatively objective biological and social standards. What is coming up is the aging society.
- Lifetime
Infancy - Toddler - Childhood - Adolescence - Young add - Primary add-on - Middle age - Old age
- Age and income
Retired people are allowed to keep their living by distributing taxes to the elderly.
- Age and gender
There were differences in aging process such as heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality. Although most are based on socially established heterosexuality, the minority group is experiencing life processes in significantly different ways and often includes mature social life.
- Age and race
Black seniors are more likely to be physically and psychologically abused, and white seniors are more likely to suffer from financial exploitation. Ethnic minorities generally feel less educated, less financial resources, and less health care.
- Global aging
Human life expectancy is on the rise worldwide. Most are over 65. However, the pace of aging is not consistent among countries, and the life expectancy of advanced countries is higher.
- Ageing and health
It is important to maintain a positive attitude in order to stay healthy for a long time in old age. This is because older adults with positive attitudes behave less dangerously and have lower levels of stress.
2. Interacting
Korea's aging population is at a critical level. In the future, income redistribution will be more difficult as older people are far more likely to rise than younger people. The government must solve social problems arising from an unstoppable aging process.
The aging of America was interesting. Because of the wide continent, the aging process was different from state to state. The U.S. government felt it had to come up with different policies from state to state.
3. Discussion
What do you think is the biggest reason why our country has become an aging society?
The reason why Korea is becoming an aging society is because the development of modern medicine has increased the life expectancy of the elderly. It is also due to the low birth rate. I think this aging will get worse in the future.
ReplyDeleteI think the biggest reason is the falling birthrate. In Japan, not only is it well-established for the welfare of the elderly, but it is also common for one-person families to live alone. Our country is also gradually following this train. I think the decrease in marriage and declining birth rate have finally created a reverse pyramid structure.
