Paper Summary:
This paper explains that, in a rapidly aging society, the American bias towards youth will have to be replaced by an added level of respect for the elderly. This paper reviews the theory of Erik Erikson on his life journey through many stages. This author stresses issues of family, spirituality and economic well-being and urges that American families begin to include the aged within their household as is the practice in most of the world.From the Paper:
"In other more inclusive cultures, it is well understood that life's journey is circular in motion. Issues that have been dealt with in the past continually re-emerge, and the most important issue of all is that of relationships. Because human beings are above all social animals, the society one depends on is by far the most important aspect of aging. This concept is well understood in Asia and in South America, but apparently, it is not as paramount in the United States."More papers on Aging in America:
