SOC-SCI 411P Aging In American Society: Past And Present

Modern views of aging are often contrasted with views of aging in earlier times. The popular mythology suggests that the position of the older adult has fallen from a place of high status and respect. Exploring the myths and rhetoric, this introduction to the field of social gerontology examines aging in America as grounded in the nation's history and a variety of sociocultural contexts.
