Sociology Gerontological Reflection from Interview Responses Task
Description
The interview does not have to be long (minimum 10 minutes). The purpose of this exercise is to engage in conversation with an older adult. You are free to use your own questions, however, some questions you may ask are:
What is one your happiest moments in life?
What world events have most impacted you?
What are the most important life lessons you have learned?
What are your favorite past times? Have they changed?
How have family dynamics changed in later life?
What was it like to retire?
What has been a reality versus expectations?
Your forum post should focus on your thoughts on the relationship between what you learned in your interview and the information presented in this course thus far?
