They will have to retire from their jobs, which could result in the loss of social contacts. The loss of a loved one is devastating for older adults, also. These factors and others may lead to depression. “Depression has been defined as, hopelessness, helplessness, anxiety symptoms, memory complaints; loss of pleasure, slowed movements, irritability and loss of interest in personal care” (Goncalves, Albuquergue, Byrne, & Pachana, 2009. p.610). Depression could potentially reduce the quality of life and possibly increase medical morbidity and mortality in older adults.
Activity 1 – Theories of Ageing Disengagement theory The disengagement theory is one of the first social theories of ageing developed by Cumming and Henry in 1961. It is the idea of which states older people begin to withdraw or disengage from their past roles in society due to the decrease of their physical, intellectual and emotional abilities and skills which they are unable to accommodate in their roles. Also, at this stage of life, the elderly will eventually begin to diminish interests in activities and hobbies. This leads to inactivity which will further affect physical and emotional development negatively. Society plays a big part of this theory as it contributes to the behaviour portrayed towards the elderly.
The act of improving someone else's situation in some way, even it it just involves listening, takes the persons own anxieties down a notch or two in importance and therefore they concentrate on the difficulties of others. Many professions where helping other is the main focus will have more than their fair share of people who use this tactic. Abstract Mrs X 35 feels concerned that she dominates conversations, that people do not find her interesting, worries that she will run out of things to say which would create an awkward silence. Self creates anxiety around certain people and certain social situations so will find a reason to cancel and not attend. Introduction In our initial meeting Mrs X came across as a very bright, intelligent and confident lady with no outward signs of any issues or worries as was very bubbly and outgoing in personality.
Face-to Face-Contact Diminishing Slowly technology seems to be destroying the meaningfulness of interactions we have with others, disconnecting us from the world around us, and leading to a sense of seclusion in today’s society. In this century people prefer to use technology instead of physically contacting with one another. Current generations have been communicating on social networks, texting, and emailing rather than having one-on-one conversations. They tend to feel safer and it’s easier for them to write out and think what they are going to say rather than blurting it out. They are becoming more socially awkward to talk in person.
Becoming depressed can make them feel like they want to be on their own most of the time therefore becoming socially isolated can also affect the nutritional needs as they don’t feel like eating and most likely wont. 1.4 Explain the importance of recognising and meeting individuals personal and cultural preferences for food and drink. It is very important to recognise what an individual likes to eat and drink and what they don’t like. If you don’t recognise these you are not meeting their preferences and that will cause them to not eat and drink instead of realising that it is something they don’t like. When you know what they do like you can always assure that there is always something available.
Information that is vital to the reader is missing. Furthermore information, such as the Case Study, are included which is not necessary to the findings of the study.

Aging is the byproduct of the bodies’ decreasing ability to quickly and efficiently repair and maintain itself. There is a never ending struggle between the forces that contribute to breakdown, and the bodies’ ability to identify, fortify, and combat these forces. The approach to anti-aging is focused at not only prolonging life but improving the quality and appearance of every aspect of our life and lifestyle (Anti Aging Longevity Exercise, 2011). As people age, they become advocates of anything claiming to be "anti-aging". No matter how much people want their bodies to stop aging, they simply can't reverse the aging process not yet anyway.
It also includes a suspicion of outsiders. Most cultures have their ethnocentric tendencies, which usually involve stereotypical thinking. Group closure is the process whereby groups keep clear boundaries between themselves and others. Refusing to marry outside and ethnic group is an example of how group closure is accomplished. For decades, sociologists have looked to ways of reducing and eliminating conflicts and prejudices between groups: One theory, the self‐esteem hypothesis, is that when people have an appropriate education and higher self‐esteem, their prejudices will go away.
"This research underlines the importance of stopping incivility before it starts so that the ripple effect of incivility does not impact the employee's family and potentially inflict further damage beyond the workplace where the incivility took place and cross over into the workplace of the partner," she added. Another issues, she found, is that since the employee comes home more stressed and distracted, the partner is likely to pick up more of the family responsibilities, and those demands may interfere with the partner's work life. The upshot, the study found, is that rudeness can ultimately contributes to affected the worker's and the partner's marital dissatisfaction. "Unlike the study of incivility's effects at work, the study of its impact on the family is in its infancy. However, these
Now you would feel left out and you wouldn’t hang out with those friends anymore and it comes to the point that you’d reconsider your stance of the matter to join them. Social influence takes a really big role in our modern society and it is one of the main factors on how we behave a certain way. It shows us in what way we are not fitting in to those around us including our family. Some of these influences might ruin your own personal behaviours, emotions or opinions regarding your personal life. Social influence involves/includes the study of conformity, compliance and it also involves a bit of obedience.
