SOC 349 The Sociology of Aging

Reply to peer comment

1. (Luis 7) : Age in society can be a difficult topic. Especially is there is ageism involved for someone who is older for example, when it comes to looking for a job. Regardless of male or female, we move in a fast-paced, when we mistake an older person as slower. The physical effects of aging on males and females are different in some aspects. Women are mothers and carry a child for 9 months, something a man can never do. There are physical health effects from that, as females get older. Diseases don't discriminate and will affect the life of both. Healthy living would be the best course of action to prepare for the physical effects that come later on in life. 

My life course is quite simple, I really wish I had more to write. Significant impacts on my life would obviously start with my birth and being raised in a very respectful and conservative home. This helped me later on in my adult life to be more responsible and respectful to everyone. I graduated high school and decided to join the Armed Forces right away where my responsibility helped me succeed greatly! I traveled all over the world for the last 16 years. I maintain a healthy and active lifestyle that has kept me happy. I'm waiting for retirement to be able to enjoy that stage of my life.
