Problem
I. What are some common experiences and trends that most people can expect?
What recommendations would you make for supporting healthy aging during older adulthood?
What can individuals do to minimize the effects of aging and maximize health and longevity?
II. Theories that explore genetics and stress summarize one of these theories and explain how it is connected to the aging process. How can these ideas inform choices people make in older adulthood or earlier in life to yield a positive quality of life in their later years?
Erikson's conflict for older adulthood is integrity v. despair. What are some recommendations this means and how one might find "integrity" rather than "despair" in later life. What recommendations would you offer people as they age to achieve "integrity."
