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!

Wow lets think
Age is first relative.
Old is relative
I am 50
white
need glasses
have back aches
grey hair
high blood pressure
stress
Some may think I'm old yet my mind is sharper than ever
There are fifty years olds who look eighty
and there are eighty year olds some who look fifty
Enviroment and experiences all define how we age as well as good ol genetics
Good Luck hope others respond
Best source for subject data is go to the Mall and jot down differences in ages the best you can and their actions
also go to church and visit with the older adults
all in all the best source of data in field work which is what i've just described
hope others respond. this will be a good learning experience, That is why your "evil" teacher assigned it
You will learn alot
Oh yes your first 10 data points should be yourself
(use a baseline) That's You

Aging is when your body cells die faster than they are being made/replaced
