Ok, because teachers are evil, my Sociology teacher assigned a paper over Spring break. I need your help. If you could please send me 10-12 words that you think relate to 'aging' or 'old' you will be my next best friend (after the 15 people I have already promised die.) So for example, you might think that 70 is 'old' so that would be one of your words (or phrases) Please give your answers in list form. I have to get 14+ people this next week. If you do choose to participate, please include your Age, Gender, Location, and Ethnicity as these are all part of the assignment. If you don't include them I have to guess. Thanks everyone

Please give your answers in list form like this:
1. 70
2. walkers
3.
4.
etc
thanks!

A good source of aging, old vs not old, would be to look up sites on Jack LaLanne.

To me aging is:

1. Your age based on a calendar.
2. Your body based on medical tests.
3. Your attitude toward aging.

OLD is,

1. Calendar age is very important. If my calendar date says I am old, then I am old.
2. My body is a physical wreck. Years of abuse.
3. I think old, therefore I feel old.

Hope this get's you some ideas for your paper. Hope it gets the best grade in class.
