This isn’t the only condition that causes the service user to be immobile. Some service users may have an illness or condition, which means that they can’t move from a bed to a chair because the illness that they have prevents them from moving. The service user may not have an illness; they may have been in an accident that has caused them to have lack of mobility. If the service user lacks mobility, it is hard for them to look after themselves because they can’t move around and do the everyday things that need to be done. They would need to be helped all the time.
It can be said that younger people often don’t include older people which can lead to further disengagement. Older people that have restricted opportunities to interact with each other also suffer from a variety of health issues. This means that they are unable to socialise even more because they are physically frail and weak and therefore, struggle to leave the house to see others and socialise with them becoming increasingly ‘individual’ and less concerned with the expectations of others. Cumming argued that it was appropriate and healthy for older people to withdraw from others and disengagement was a natural part of ageing. A lot of various different issues occur when elderly people start to disengage with the people that are around them.
The research done by Lydia Bronte and presented here gives us a new look at the older generation and an eye opener on what to expect and prepare for. As professionals and as society as a whole, the film expresses a need to prepare for more people remaining productive and active longer.

How safe are these products and how valid are the claims made by these companies? The primary problem that most people do not realize is that being fit and slim is not the same as being healthy. Having a healthy body and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is by far the most essential aim one should have when trying to lose weight and get fit. Taking these products or following some miracle diet may sometimes allow one to lose many pounds in little time but carry bad consequences on the body including malnutrition and sometimes fatal side effects as seen with products such as ephedra. People seek these ways due to their lack of patience and control of one self.
I will look on allocating resources for the elderly and end of life, and how it goes against ethical standards. Allocating Resources for the Elderly and Ethical Standards In an article by Craig (2010), it talks about how the health care resources has been diverted from the elderly and given to younger generations because they are the future and needs to stay healthier in life. This is an ethical issue that denies the elderly their right to health care. In this cases, though the elderly will not leave longer life compare to the younger people, but still need to receive their full health care till their last breath on earth. Ethical standards, I believe should be in allocating resources for elderly and end of life is the right to a good health care.
