Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Aging in the Social Environment examines the aging process from micro, mezzo, and macro lenses. The micro lens looks at individual processes of aging including biological, emotional, spiritual, and psychological factors along with such topics as health, resilience, sexuality, and creativity as we age. The mezzo lens looks at processes beyond the individual including work, roles, family, caregiving, living arrangements, religious involvement, and healthcare. The macro lens looks at factors including culture, media, laws, policies, language, and stereotypes about aging. Chapters integrate information from an intersectional perspective: topicsare discussed examining such factors as age, class, race, ethnicity, geography, culture, gender identification, and sexual orientation. Also, topics are approached using queer, feminist, and strengths-based approaches instead of a problem-based approach, as used in most texts. These approaches help students to critically think about current, entrenched attitudes about aging and to look at aging processes from different perspectives. The book gives attention throughout tothe use of language and stereotypes for the aging process, and incorporates new, strengths-based language (e.g., third age) to provide readers with alternative ways of thinking and talking about aging.Finally, the book is organized using a human development approach to integrate aging more thoroughly with the entire developmental process rather than treating it as a separate, distinct process in human development that occurs at the end of life. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
