Elderhood

Using the Life Course Perspective, describe key historical events that have occurred for people who are currently 90-100 years old. Imagine that you could talk with someone who is 90 years old about anything. What would you talk about? What do the very old have to teach you? What kinds of insights or practical advice would you want to gain from them? What are your fears about growing old? How might talking with someone who is very old help you address those fears?
