Discussion about the disengagement theory


Problem: The most interesting part of module 1 was reading about the Disengagement Theory. On page 11 of "Aging: Concepts and Controversies" Disengagement theory is described as when society and older adults have mutual social separation, benefiting both parties. This piqued my interest because the concept of a separation between older adults and society is a new concept for me. The method of how this theory was studied also interested me because it was an extension of the 10-year Kansas City study of adult life. This made me want to learn more about the findings from that study, which led researchers to see this pattern as a basic biological Rhythm of Life. What stood out from the module one notes was the definition of gerontology as a multidisciplinary field. This comes from aging being a complex process with biological, psychological, and social processes. This brought new questions about how gerontologists study the distinction between normal primary aging and age-related disease. The practical advice about the aging-friendly language includes the use of terms like older adults rather than the elderly." Respond to classmate. Need Assignment Help?
