Describe the concepts of the "third age" and the "fourth age" and how knowledge of these ages might impact how we prepare individuals for each of these stages of life
What will be an ideal response?
The "third age" concerns the young-old (60-80 years) and is characterized as being the "good news" time of life. This positive treatment is the result of increased life expectancy and more successful aging, substantial potential for physical and mental fitness, evidence of cognitive and emotional reserves in the aging mind, high levels of emotional and personal well-being, and effective strategies to master gains and losses of later life. The "fourth age" concerns the oldest-old (80+ years) and is characterized as being the "bad news" time of life. This negative treatment is the result of sizable losses in cognitive potential and ability to learn, increases in negative effect of chronic stress, high prevalence of dementia and other chronic disorders, and problems with quality of life and dying with dignity.
