  3. GERO 510 The Aging Individual in Society and Community Course Description: This course will examine aging from both macro and micro perspectives. We will explore how the aging individual is affected by social and cultural forces, and in turn, how the aging population affects the greater society. We will draw upon sociological perspectives to increase our understanding of applied and theoretical issues in aging, examine the social aspects of aging through roles and relationships, explore aging as it is related to social institutions and the concept of "community." Finally, we will also consider patterns of diversity in the aging population as evidenced by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and gender.

  6. Linking Technology to Course Objectives & University Learning Goals GERO 510 Course Objectives: Students will Identify issues relevant to the sociological study of aging and analyze them from micro (individual level) perspectives as well as macro (community and societal level) perspectives. Students will learn how demographic trends impact societal structures and functions on both the individual and community levels. Students will learn and be able to apply the concepts of “community,” “diversity,” and “social capital” in relationship to issues covered in the course. Through various web-based assignments, students will become more skilled in the use of technology as a teaching-learning tool (and will also enhance students’ understanding of the term “community”). Through various readings and writing assignments, students will critically analyze timely issues related to aging including retirement, class, generational and cohort effects, political activism, health care, and the Older Americans Act as they connect to the individual and American society.
