...Exam II 1. Type I fibers show very little change with advancing age, with the exception of the anti gravity muscles. However, type II muscle fibers have a 25 to 50 percent reduction in the number and size of muscle fibers. Because of high concentration of type II fibers in the quadriceps and hamstrings, these muscles are the first to atrophy in older adults. These appear to be caused mainly by decreased use of these muscles and the lack of high-intensity physical activity needed to activate this fiber type. The emphasis should be on concentrating on maximizing recruitment of motor units and promoting hypertrophy of existing muscle fibers, especially type II fibers in the muscles of the back, buttocks, thighs, and calves because there is much greater loss of muscle strength in the lower extremities (causing mobility problems) with ageing. 2. Resistance Training- Dr. In-Hee Lee conducted a study regarding the balance improvement by strength training in the elderly population. In regards to the subjects used, ninety originally were recruited through advertising that targeted individuals 65 years or older. If an individual had severe cardiac disease or orthopedic or neurological disorders that resulted in mobility impairment – they could not be chosen for this study. Of the participants, 16 were excluded because of cardiac or muscular problems, and the remaining 74 participants were randomly enrolled in 1 of 2 groups-an exercise group and a control group.

...There is a story last month telling that an old lady was tricked into buying loads of dried abalone, thinking them to be from Japan worth thousands of dollars but in reality those are produced in mainland and hardly worth a few hundred bucks. They pretended to be mobile hawkers, selling dried abalone on the street. The victim approached and started to examine the goods, while the accomplice, disguised as passerby, also approached and made comments on the cheap dried abalones. She made statements such as how good quality the dried abalones were in, how cheap those were, and how profitable it would be to buy those here and sell it somewhere else. Believed that the accomplice was some random person who coincidentally passed by, the old lady, the victim was convinced that buying those in the given price was an good idea. However the old lady flinched upon hearing how much those costed. Now the accomplice said she would share the cost with the victim half-half, with intention to buy those dried abalones herself. Again, thinking the accomplice to be a benign, goodhearted woman, she thought it is the opportunity of the year to make a margin. With her guard down, the victim paid $3000, only to be told by her son that those abalones were available in proper stores for around $300. Scam? In my housing estate? It is more likely than you think! Now one may say that the old lady should share the responsibility of being gullible enough to be tricked, but that is an argument I do not agree...

...Baotran Tran English 101-81 Argument Essay School dress regulations emphasize on conservativeness with the intention of preserving and encouraging self-modesty. Yet, more and more students are finding themselves to be victims of unfair dress coding and public humiliation, surprisingly, from the staff itself. An example is a place near and dear to Sierra Vista’s very own teenage undergraduates: Buena High School. Many current students have not only witnessed but have claimed victim to unfair dress coding – the majority being female. Although Buena’s dress code claim to exist with good intentions, many instances of dress coding are seemingly executed with personal preference, unneeded hostility, and an abundance of sexism. Buena High School’s student handbook state and oppose the following: leggings, low-cut tops, straps smaller than a three-finger’s width, certain length skirts and shorts (they should be longer than the length of your fingers when you put your arms down to your side), and articles of clothing deemed to portray inappropriate acts, gangs, or images. In a general gist, the dress code is provided with reasonable guidelines and purpose. It is understandable that a dress code should be enforced in order to maintain individual decency. Overwhelmingly, most rules are especially catered against the female sex. The most controversial topic that females students argue against is the restriction of leggings – a form fitting garment made out of spandex, cotton, and...

...attitude towards old age and what do people do in order not to look old? Steve Olela BA/03004/09 Maseno University Abstract This paper examines why there is very high stereotyping and discrimination against the aged. It also looks into how the aged try not to look old so that they do not get to be discriminated against. It is common to find people making assumptions and having negative attitude towards the aged. Why we have a negative attitude towards old age The society has discriminatory perception against the old especially the youth or young for example in the 2013 Kenya elections, the young contesting for political seats refered to the old as “analogue” and deserve to go and relax at home while referring to themselves as the “digital” . ‘People have a negative attitude towards the old because the old people are associated with health issues and death’ (Hall and Baley, 2008) and so there is the fear of old age and therefore viewed negatively. It is perceived that the old people require regular checkups and fear of death due to the many health problems they experience (Arnold-Cathalifaud, 2008). Working with older patients is not typically viewed as desirable because the young view them as stubborn and have traits the young would want to always avoid. The old people are also associated with the negative body image. Physical attributions and appearances is a factor or a reason why people develop negative attitudes towards the old age. ‘It is seen that the old age facial appearance...

...Age Segregation and Old Homes. | Divided Cities | 5/18/2013 ‘Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man’. -LEON TROTSKY Life cycle changes over time as a person grows old. He passes through different phases of life and gets opportunity to experience changing situations in life. There come situations when a person feels fortunate to have a great life whereas, all the same, situation arrives when a person is made to have worst experiences of life. He is made to feel alone, socially isolated or segregated in the society. Sometimes, there comes a situation, when the houses, which were typically considered to be large and spacious, motivate its residents to consider other housing options. My research, basically revolves around the people who choose to live in old homes. My research question is based upon their perspective about this residential segregation and the bonds they have developed within themselves in the old house. I also tend to disucuss the reasons behind choosing such an institutional living. Literature review. Old age segregation is highly debatable topic and a lot of literature is existing which highlights different perspectives of such segregation.

...Ageism: Old People Can’t Drive In American society, it seems that we treasure youth and either fear or are disappointed to reach old age. Our culture has a big influence on how the elderly are perceived has stereotyped this population, mostly seen through the media. Even in films, TV, books, and magazines old people are often portrayed as frail, weak, klutzy, or indecisive. We should look treat our elderly with respect for the fact that they are more associated with experience, knowledge, and wisdom than a younger population. Ageism describes this discrimination against the old due to misconceptions and ignorance. Every person has their own perceptions of seniors and growing old. As an individual grows up, those perceptions are influenced by family, friends, and any interactions with the elderly. But as this individual gets older, they become more influenced by the media and what other people are telling us. I believe that in my generation, we are becoming more naive about our elders and I see and hear about it all the time. One that I get a lot is their driving capabilities. People say all the time that old people can’t drive when, in fact, I see younger people getting in accidents more than our seniors. They have been driving much longer than we have and maybe have more experienced skills in driving. In the advertisement I have chose, it reads, “John McCain is old. Do you want him driving your country?” There is picture of John McCain and an elderly lady driving and...

...mission rooted in biblical foundation. There were no Old Testament people of God without a mission. The mission and the message of the Old Testament people, even though both issues can be separated, belong firmly together. The mission includes the proclamation of the message of God. Some scholars argued that in the Old Testament there is no specific call to evangelize the world. There is no commission in the Old Testament (in contrast to the New Testament) to go and evangelize the world. David J. Bosch stated that the New Testament as a missionary document, but he did not neglect the Old Testament. Depicting this idea that without the Old Testament there is no the New Testament document of mission. Bosch hints at an Old Testament notion of mission when he refers to the action of God in history. This activity is seen in history. The most obvious missionary activity is recorded in the Book of Jonah. This prophet was not willing to go and fulfill God’s commission. At the end, he wondered what was wrong with God when He saved the cruel Ninevites. Jonah saw the salvation of Ninevites as evil, and he refused to agree with God’s compassion (Jonah 3:10; 4:1). In a dramatic way, God taught His prophet about the universality of God’s salvation (4:6-11). The Lord demonstrated His unselfish love for all, even for the enemies of His people. We, traditionally, understand mission as sending to proclaim the gospel to distant place. In Old Testament there is no evident sending mission, however...

...low birth rate have meant that the average age of the population is rising”. Also the decline in fertility has led to an increased amount of people who are over the age of 65 and this poses many different issues within society. First of all, older people consume a larger proportion of public services. For example, they require more health and social care than other age groups. This is truer when it involves the old old’. The old old’ are usually seen as the 75 years old and older as many people see them as needing more medical and care attention. However, some people will argue with this as many people of ‘old’ age still seem to be in relatively good health. It is not just health services that the elderly generation needs more of, in addition to this, the ageing population may require changes to policies, provision of housing, transport and many other services. The number of pensioners also living alone, had led to an increase in one-person pensioner households (they now account for 14% of households). Most of them are female. This is because females generally live longer than males and because they are usually younger than their husbands. Feminist think that this is great because it shows female dependency and they do not see this as a problem, whereas some people might as it takes up living space for the young and cost elderly people more money to keep the houses. The ageing population has also caused an increase in the dependency ratio. Like young children, the non-working...

...story in human history that is over 4000 years old. The story introduces “the first hero” ever known. A cruel Sumerian king who ruled the city of Uruk and did not care for his people but himself, he thought too highly of himself because he was half god, very strong, and had never found an equal. Although no one could defeat him, the people and gods were tired of his selfishness and decided to end his cruelty. They created a human named Enkidu who was as strong as him and both fought a fiercely battle where Gilgamesh had defeated Enkidu but realized that he had finally found an equal. The story follows Gilgamesh on a quest with Enkidu who becomes his friend. They both go out and fight different obstacles to save the world but before they can do that Enkidu dies in a battle leaving Gilgamesh with great sorrow, and seeks on a new quest to find eternal life for him and to bring his friend back to life. His selfishness to gain immortality leaves him with nothing but to realize that eternal life is not just given that easy. This old story continues to influence modern storytelling. There are different connections to this story like the Bible’s Old Testament and Greek mythology that still have a role in today’s society. The Bible’s Old Testament has many stories in common with the Epic of Gilgamesh. Since there are many followers of the Bible, it is very interesting to know how people would react to the similarities that both these very old stories have. One of the stories in the Bible...

...Why Are We Scared Of Growing Old? Most people who are 59 or 65 or even 70+ do not think of themselves as old. Generally, people think old age begins around when you are going. The gateway to old age has been moved back, because we’re living longer, people are staying healthy longer and people are remaining active longer. You can see famous musicians like sir Paul McCartney who is 73, and he played at Roskilde Festival, which takes a lot of energy. Most boomers have changed careers multiple times, 50 percent have changed spouses. They’ve relocated their careers, their lives, their friends again and again. And so why would they stop doing that when they have more free time and when they are a bit older? You knew you might live 60 or 65 or 70 years. So you learned until, let’s say, 20 years. Then you worked and raised your family for approximately 40 years, and then you rested. How bad can a society with welfare allow treating the elderly people? And vice versa: How much can the elderly people allow to require of the society? All taxpayers and adults/elderly people are part of the welfare society. So all that we need, regardless of age, gender, religion and ethnicity are to be considered and treated as part of the welfare society with access to institutions and services, which are built up in our society today. The elderly people can of course allow requiring just as much as younger...
