Adult development and Aging: Positive and Negative aspects of Cognitive Development, and Lifestyle Changes .
Introduction: As we age our emotional, physical, cognitive, development and perspectives change. As Americans we are socialized to have negative views of aging. These common stereotypes influence the ways that senior citizens are treated by others, as well as the way they view themselves. Your team will have a medical doctor, a psychologist, and a journalist. The following questions will need to be answered:
* What are some typical stereotypes about senior citizens?
* How do these stereotypes affect the way senior citizens view themselves?
* What are some physical changes that occur as a person ages? Are these changes effects of environmental or from lifestyle choices, or could they be genetic?
