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. The film also shows some of the benefits this age group offers us in terms of experience, economic revenue, and the possibilities awaiting us. I feel the problem of age bias is a real and common issue. The film shows us the importance of the elderly to continue to lead productive lives and feel they are contributing members of society, because in fact they are and should be treated as such.
While my Values and Beliefs are important to me I appreciate that not everyone values the same qualities. While it has not been an issue in my current position I could say that I may have less empathy or patience for people who are more work shy or don't share my values. As a professional it is important that I don't allow my beliefs and Values to place a strain on relationships with colleagues and families. Experiences My experience comes with age as well as looking after my own two children, my nieces and nephews. Coming from a large family of eleven siblings some younger and some older we all have to look after each other at one time or another, I’ve learnt to care for others, give guidance and protection when needed, empathise with others when in distress, agree and disagree to voice my opinion, to give advise when needed, to support and to be a good role model.
Senior citizens are increasingly looking for facilities that can offer the ability to remain as independent as possible, yet, be able to provide the level of care that is needed. They understand that having interests and keeping active helps promote a longer, healthier lifestyle. Providers are adding wellness centers to their facility designs to help invigorate residents, get them involved in healthy activities, and help them stay lively (Levin Associates, 2013) Health Trends. Due to retirement portfolios decreasing in value with the recession, seniors are waiting longer to move into assisted living facilities. This means they are unwell and require more care ("Assisted Living," 2013).
Employers on the other hand, are sometimes zealous to have tasks completed, and in so doing their actions may conflict with the welfare of the employees. The establishment of this act has given many employees a piece of mind when it comes to their jobs, but with many others misusing this amendment and employers having to worry about productivity, many have called for this act to be revised and improved in order to benefit everyone who utilizes it. The Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 was implemented to address a growing need in the modern American workplace; employees needed the ability to tend to their loved ones without fear of losing their jobs. There was also in increase in working parents, both mother and father, and it was important that both parents be able to participate in early childhood development and caring for them when they became seriously ill. In other cases, when family members became ill, there was a need for someone to take care of them.
Critics point out that often this disengagement is enforced, rather than voluntary; someone who needs to move to a nursing home, for example, experiences a restriction of her social circle as her friends may not be able to visit, and may start to die, leaving her with fewer connections. Activity Theory: The activity theory suggests that as people get older their ageing process will be more successful if they maintain their roles and responsibilities as they did when they were younger this is if they continue to occupy themselves with activities and keep a positive outlook on life. As people engage in activities, they are influenced by the roles they play and are assigned by society, and the rules dictated for people in those
If the manager says no he can’t help you, don’t give up find the social services for help, or find the charities for help. Also community groups if you can and may you can find people who do the news papers or you can contact your solicitor and you could say to your mayor (MP). 3 (3.2) general changes is; you could find the different places for the disability people.

And for the people who don’t speak any English as a manager is good to find interpreter for them for help, you may respect elderly and value them also respect their choice.
Whether the person is a recent graduate, a person laid-off from work, or a person that wants a different job, their casual search turns into a carefully planned search for employment. The most important reform to improve American jobs is a shorter working week. It could not only help address a range of urgent problems of unemployment, but also could help individuals become more creative, useful, and more productive in their jobs. In addition it could help the problem of the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply, to enjoy life. If a much shorter working week became the norm, this would open up opportunities for sharing paid and unpaid work more equally between women and men.
I personally feel that they are all important. It would seem to me that it would be easier for the individual to except the changes in the stages that they need them. I believe that the social activities provided to the elderly amongst people the same age helps with keeping the critical thinking and memory healthy. If an individual only needs help on a temporary basis it helps them become more independent. Most elderly right now are afraid of change and I believe that if the process is started slowly they will be less likely to rebel against the changes.
What types of changes occur in the brain in late adulthood? We all know what is the first thing to go when entering into your late adulthood and it is your memory it seems that over time the memory tends to fades as we grow and age. Some people memory starts to fade as early as the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Their brains cannot sometimes process or store short term memory, my grandmother is experiencing this stage now she remembers me but she can’t with hold short term events I constantly have to reminder her of something she ask me five or ten minutes later. 4.
For example, someone who is very ill may still have a big positive view on life, whereas some may feel depressed and extremely unhappy. Role changes; A lot of things may influence role changes in an elderly person for example, loss of a partner, loss of work role or change of income. Role changes have also changed in the household as the parents both tend to go out and work so grandparents may spend more time with the children. Older people also tend to vote more than younger people which show that they are more interested in politics. Retirement; Many elderly people believe that retiring is a positive thing that can lead to more freedom.
