2. Elder abuse is under-reported because victims are often afraid of retaliation. Because each victim is typically dependent upon the abuser. At the end of life, at a time when elders should be receiving gratitude and support for the contributions they have made to their families and their communities, the typical victim of elder abuse is cowering alone, afraid to disclose the shame and disgrace of the abuse and fearful that speaking out will cause the fist to come down even harder.

About 75% of people who are diagnosed with dementia will have either Alzheimer’s or vascular dementia, or a combination of the two. There less common forms of dementia include dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia (Pick’s disease), Huntington’s disease, alcohol-related dementias, and HIV/AIDS-related dementia. Alzheimer’s usually affects the elderly population and is a degenerative neurogical disorder and genetic factors are considered the greatest factors in the development of the disease. This conditions begins gradually and worsens progressively over several years. It is caused by nerve cells dying in certain areas of the brain and the connections between the affected nerve cells deteriorate.
By no means is this writer insisting that the traditional family is without hardship and challenges. There are always going to be influences that add stress and jeopardize the integrity of one’s family. The bread winner may lose his or her job, or takes a pay loss. A child may need an expensive procedure like braces to have that exceptional smile that we wish so hard for them, to have. Any one of the members can suddenly become ill, placing undue stress on the entire unit.
This isn’t healthy or safe for any of us to be working in any longer. This revolution is only negatively impacting us, and it isn’t fair to continue this type of treatment. The more workers we get, the more disease continues to spread. Lung disease is spreading and the workers are always sick and coughing. I can’t afford to get sick, considering I have a family to support.
Memory is the most common cognitive ability lost with dementia. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (slide 71) is the most common cause of dementia in western countries and Japan, representing more than half of demented patients. Vascular disease is the second most common cause of dementia in the U.S. and Japan. Most common forms of dementia are progressive, and currently there is no effective treatment to stop or reverse the progression of the disease. Incidence of most dementia increases with age.
Being away from home, family, and almost every luxury is both physically and emotionally taxing, having the courage to do this makes being away easier, being told by a piece of paper that you are leaving for a few months to a few years to a location you don’t know, is terrifying. The very lives of our soldiers could hang in the choice of having a draft, as suicides have always been present in all levels of military services. Being sent away involuntarily would easily send almost anyone into a depression, unsafe to themselves and possibly others. Under such stress a soldier can’t perform his best and would therefore only hinder the other’s. (Use outside source and cite it!)
Refugees would not be satisfied upon arrival. Refugees often face particular challenges in adapting because their arrival was not planned or a matter of choice, but a matter of survival. They may be deeply disturbed by their past experiences and on top of that the struggle they go through when they separate from their immediate family members whom they had to leave behind will leave them clueless. Many people felt that the arrival of the refugees would only make the economic situation worse, and that the government should concentrate on helping its own people. Others wanted to do all they could for the new arrivals.
A lot of various different issues occur when elderly people start to disengage with the people that are around them. Their social life is limited as they never take part in outgoing activities because they are elderly and may struggle. This would cause them to constantly put themselves down and feel as if they were no longer good enough to join in and become part of a group of people. Health can continue to deteriorate because elderly people become less physically able as they cut themselves off from other people in society. This may cause people to feel lonely and depressed as they are constantly on their own, or find themselves socialising with the same people all of the time, unable to take things into their own hands and go out to meet new people.

Even though I believe marriage is a beautiful experience, it can make one forget about themselves and their life aside from their wife or husband. I know firsthand, that this can have drastic consequences. A few years ago my dad was diagnosed with diabetes and instead of treating it as recommended; he ignored the issue until it significantly affected his family’s life and himself.
