- Consider how different countries approach aging. As you consider different countries, think about the following:
- Do older adults live with their children, or are they more likely to live in a nursing home?
- Are older adults seen as wise individuals to be respected and revered, or are they a burden to their family and to society?
- Next, select two different countries and compare and contrast their approaches to aging.
Post and identify each of the countries you selected. Then, explain two similarities and two differences in how the countries approach aging. Be specific and provide examples. Use your Learning Resources to support your post. Use proper APA format and citations.
