Prompt: Aging in the media
Sources: Use chapters 4 Mental and emotional well-being in the textbook plus the other 4 separate citations
How media portrays or represents the aging experience. So youre going to find 2 examples of aging and the media, one positive and one negative so we can kind of see that contrasting views. This can be a TV show, movie, song, book.
Important: first describe the aging issue that is connected to what you see in the media and then summarize a media whats happening in it so that the reader can understand what commercial or what its youre talking about. Why its positive or negative. And then, this is important, how is this connected to the textbook or other sources? Would the literature with the textbook or other sources that you read say that whats happening in the media is a good representation or is not a good representation? For example, you found an example of a TV show kind of joking that all older adults have trouble with cognitive, impairment, you can cite information from the textbook or other sources about the actual rates of cognitive impairment in older adults.
(*)Note: the textbook we use is Aging Matters: An Introduction to Social Gerontology by Nancy R. Hooyman, Kevin Y. Kawamoto, H. Asuman Kiyak. If you can give me your email, I will send the book to you. We use chapter 4 in the textbook and find other 4 sources to support the prompt. Thank you
