In this paper will be to document and compare fundamental motor skills, cognition, communication, and social emotional behaviors of adults. One activity attended to provide information for this paper was an observation done at the Medicine Hat mall on the 24th of March. The class was there at 9:30 am to 11am. There was an average temperature of 8°C that day with a slight wind and cloud cover. At the mall, two individuals were unknowingly observed for their general characteristic, how they walked, and their postures. They were not engaged in any other way however. The interaction component of this assignment was held on March 31st at the same time but on the second floor of the Southview Grand Condo in Medicine Hat. Food and beverages …show more content…
The information for this paper was gathered from these two activates and will be described in detail and then compared to other notes. Mall Observations Individual One Individual one was sitting with two other people in the middle of the food court at Medicine Hat Mall. He and his party had coffees and did not move from this spot except to throw away their coffee cups, but besides this activity, they did not leave the table. Individual one appeared to be in his mid to late 60’s and appeared to be around 5’5 or 5’4 in height. He also appeared be a little over weight. According to Sadowsky (2016) in the powerpoint on physiological changes in an adult, it is not unexpected to witness weight gain at his assumed aged as the metabolism slows. It is also not uncommon for there to be a shortening in height as the skeletal system shifts. Individual one had a very prominent case of kyphosis, especially while sitting. When Individual one did sit, his pelvis would flex up slightly and be pulled forward as that it was not sitting under his shoulders. It is also possible that muscle atrophy was causing the kyphosis and the flexion in the pelvis. Another reason to believe that muscle atrophy was present us

With the advent of film and the ability to produce visual representation of fictional (or non-fictional) characters, situations, and settings, one of the natural courses has been to adapt literary works to the new medium. Throughout time we have seen this occur endlessly, with subjectively varying results. Literature has been adapted to forms such as staged plays, live readings, as well as other visual forms, such as painting, sculpture, or photography, and in each adaption to a new medium, aspects of the tangible essence of the fiction are translated to fit its new form of expression. In Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice, the struggle of the novels protagonist Gustave Aschenbach reaches back to Greek Mythology via contemplations of emotion versus reason. In the novel, this is done using internal dialogues to vividly express the conflict that resides in humanity between instinctual and conditioned thought regarding beauty in the world, in Aschenbach’s own internal debates. However, in the translation to film, many of the internal dialogues must be represented visually, with different forms of symbolism that, while easily conveyed in text, are more difficult to embody in such an external and demonstrative medium. In this paper, I look to explore the references Thomas Mann made to Greek Mythology and their meanings, and how both are interpreted and in some cases changed in the translation to film.

A number of factors influence the nutritional status of the elderly. First, several physiological changes impact elderly nutritional requirements. Changes in taste and smell may decrease an individual's appetite or desire for food. Gastro-intestinal motility decreases with age and may lead to constipation, decreased nutrient absorption, and a decrease in fat and protein absorption. Metabolism also slows with age; this results in a decrease of lean body mass and an increase in body fat (8). Lastly, bone mass decreases, leaving the elderly vulnerable to bone fractures from falls and osteoporosis.

Communication refers to limited responses given by an organism to one stimulus. (Steven, 1950) It helps exchange one’s ideas by any methods such as speaking and listening, writing and reading or body language. An efficient communication process allows receivers to give clear responds. After finishing the presentation of this subject, I learned about how to communicate with people in a specific age range and remove communication barriers in

...interact with their caregivers and through interaction not only their cognitive abilities are shaped by also their personality and behaviour in later stage of their life (Triandis & Suh, 2002). The essay is considering the background that social relation flourishes, namely interaction child – adult and peer relations. Through their early experiences with others, children develop their understanding of the world. By simple activities that are carried out on daily basis between children and caregivers, children are able to gain the meaning of new techniques and learning strategies, they expand their existing knowledge and experience new things. The interesting aspect is to elaborate on social interaction within different groups of children. Although the cognitive abilities may not fully develop in every child, social interaction encourages and prompts the progress.
