Changes During Adulthood: How Adult Interaction With The World

During adulthood many changes occur. Your five senses die out slowly, skin becomes fragile, many things tend to slow down like; the individuals reaction to things, there immune system, memory, also muscles weaken, and the person does not sense intimacy. These changes influence the ways adult perceive and interact with the world because there ability to do certain things are impossible. For example my grandma is at the point of her life where she has been diagnosed with moderate Alzheimer's. She wants to be doing things that she has no ability to do. For example she wants to water her plants. To do that she has to walk a flight of stairs, she needs strength to go down and up, but she doesn’t have it. She cant be walking for a long time because

she gets tired quickly. For family events we can be talking about the day we all went to the park, she will start talking about a whole different topic. Late adulthood caused a drastic change to my grandmother, and I miss a lot things that we used to do. When I walk up to her and she doesn’t remember me it’s the most hardest thing to accept. That’s probably another thing that adulthood affects, the individuals family towards acceptance.
The media portrays changes in adulthood by taking advantage of many individuals situations. Some part of the media manipulates individuals and give out false information. Most of the time we are unsure about certain health issues and we just decide to accept the information given to us from the media without questioning it. Elderly people are also represented to the public in negative ways, in a idea that stereotypes against the elderly. Dr.Linda- Marie has done research on the early and median. Its shown that Elderly women are showed on TV more then elderly men, only one in five elder woman are over 65 of age.
