Instructions
Journal writing provides a nonthreatening way to explore different thoughts, ideas, and topics without being concerned about audience presentation. The process of writing can facilitate reflection and allow you to express your feelings regarding your educational experiences, as well as clarify your thinking.
Accomplish the following in your journal entry:
Discuss how epidemiological and ethical standpoints interact to create specific problems that lead to challenges stemming from income levels of older adults.
Explain how minority aging adults are more financially disadvantaged compared to non-minority aging groups.
Identify possible solutions as an aging service provider to create financial security among aging adults, such as a public policy forcing retirement savings in addition to Social Security.
Describe the costs and benefits of your proposal from both the individual’s and the society’s perspective.
State whether you believe enforced savings in addition to Social Security is ethical, and explain why.
Your journal entry should be 250 to 400 words long. No outside research is expected and, therefore, no references are needed.
Please refer to the Grading Rubric for details on how this activity will be graded.
