Entry One: When I Am Old, I Shall Wear Purple

The first thing I thought of when I considered the idea of aging issues was a poem by Jenny Joseph, who wrote Warning, the first lines of which are, “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple/ With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me” (Sachteleben 2009).

Stereotypes about the elderly that are prevalent in society include issues of ageism and bias. Often elderly persons are perceived as out ...

Studying Effect of Age on Ability to Ignore Distractions

Introduction
With aging, people tend to perform poorly on cognitive tasks as they are unable to ignore non-relevant information. At the same time, young adults are observed to be adept at ignoring irrelevant information as they seem to be more focussed and have the ability to ignore distractions.

The ministry for adult faith formation within my parish has evolved over the years with transformations that reflect the basic needs of an adult faithful currently around the world (Huebsch Page 12-24). Even though the transformations have seen some developments in the approaches the ministry has used in its activities, much still remains to be desired in that most things are still pegged on the old age doctrines. I would rate my parish’s adult faith formation as a moderate one that has systematically avoided extreme stands in its approaches. It has been slow in embracing fast moving changes in ...
