This book is dedicated to fellow senior citizens who are in their Golden years of life who has the courage to emphasise ability instead of disability and represents an evolution in attitude about what it means to be old. Thirty years ago, older adults were seen primarily in their disease. In a shift from negative model to a positive model -- from looking at older people as medical objects to seeing their capabilities and wisdom....we have recognized that no matter how frail, their contribution is valuable. A fear of growing old pervades our society ....young is beautiful and old is ugly ..this attitude has deeply ingrained our culture and our economy. After all we throw old things as they are too difficult to mend . New ones are more desirable and up to date.... Those who don't understand normal ageing may view all older adults as frail and prone to falling and therefore liability risk. It is a Myth ....while ageing is inescapable.....the older adults can age productively by celebrating their capabilities, potential and social and economic contribution and should be appreciated as assets to a community.. |
