Introduction to Sociology / Aging / Heechan Kim

1. summary

The subject of this article is aging. Aging is what we usually think of as getting older when we think about it, but according to this article, aging involves social processes as well as biological processes. And mankind has divided its life span into eight (ex, youth, middle age, old age, etc.) The way of interpreting this aging is a little different between the East and the West. Unlike the Orient, which interprets oldness as wise, the West emphasizes youth rather than oldness. There is discrimination by age in society. Young and young people have restrictions on behavior, including voting rights. The elderly are vulnerable because they are weak, and they are subject to abuse and, above all, many discrimination because of stereotypes about the elderly. As age grows, it becomes unproductive, so national poverty rates do not rise if national systems are in place. On the other hand, if there is a difference in gender in relation to age, it is almost certain that a woman lives longer than a man in statistics. In relation to age, people may think that sexual desire is lost when they are older, but people aged 70 to 80 can maintain a healthy sex life. Of course, each country is different from time to time, but the world is still aging continuously. I hope the seniors will take care of their health.



2. interesting point

What I was interested in reading was the story of sex. Before I read the article, we knew that when we were old and old, sexuality was much smaller than when we were younger, and we could not have a healthy sex life when we were young. However, the fact that we learned through writing was totally contrary, Rather, they have sexual life almost similar to when they were young.



3. discussion

The poverty rate of the country seems to change a lot depending on how the welfare of old people is done. Because the elderly are mostly non-productive as they get older and there is no one to help them without their children. I hope it helps not only the country but also the individual to help the elderly. What is the concrete action plan?

  1. I know an example of this. In our country, we execute a senior job project. For example, there are such things as senior internship and Nono(노노老老) Care. Senior internship is to assist corporation intern to hire an elder intern. Nono(노노老老) Care is a business that supports money if a healthy elderly man takes care of elderly man with inconvenience.
