can involvement in civic or religious activity buffer you against stress effects? Give some examples from your personal life. I do & I don’t consider myself a religious person. I do have a relig ... ion & I do practice it on occasion. However, I am not as involved as I probably should be, & I definitely bend some of the rules. Nonetheless there are specific times when I turn to religion. For instance, if I have a huge exam coming up or if someone close to me has fallen in bad health, I will turn to religion. I will pray for the situation, pray that God takes the situation into his h&s & provide with the best possible outcome. What are some reasons why you or your friends might continue to work past the age of retirement? Retirement is the time in life where you feel that you have contributed enough to society/workforce, & in turn want society to take care of you, for all the years of work you’ve put in. However, some people choose to past the age of retirement for reasons of their own. A few reason I believe either my friends or myself would work past the age of retirement would be because we’d be bored at home, we need the money, our spouse/partner is driving us nuts, or our spouse/partner died & we’re seeking a distraction. Imagine you are 65 years old & you are experiencing conflicts with your adult children over a number of things: communication & style of interaction; lifestyle choices & habits; parenting practices; values, religion, ideology, & politics; work habits; & st&ards of household maintenance. How might you approach these conflicts or communicate with your children about them? Which differences could you feel at ease with & which would really bother you? I can only assume approaching this situation with 65 years of experience under my belt I would be able to remain cool, calm & collected. I would have to wrap my mind around the fact that my children are adults now, no matter how I view them. They are free to make their own decisions, form their own opinions, make their own mistakes, & be their own person. It's obvious that I would like to see them walk a similar path as I did; however, that's no longer in my control or for me to decide. I'd also be forced to take a step back & reflect on my decisions/actions/views when I was their age. In my emerging adulthood, I was originally going to college to be a teacher, & my parents encouraged that path. Mid-way through my college career, I decided that I no longer wanted to pursue a career in education & switched my studies/focus to engineering. Though my parents were disappointed & tried to convince me otherwise, I stuck with my gut feeling & got an engineering degree. If I didn't make that decision independently, I would’ve never been the Vice President of my company & who knows where I would've ended up? So with that in mind, I would have to respect any differences my child & I may have, & continue to love/support my child. I would also have to keep an open-mind & be willing to accept these differences. What employment problems might an older person face that could be the result of their [Show More]
