Demographic shifts among the aging population of the United States call for a re-examination of our understanding of the needs of these individuals especially when race, ethnicity, family composition, and country of origin are considered in the discourse.

An ecological approach to this issue posits that elders, their families, and communities are closely intertwined, and need to be examined in relationship to one another...

Speak for yourself. Sexually charged music lyrics are nothing new (Let's Get it On, Marvin Gaye, 1973) and neither is an older generation complaining about it.

I'm a lifelong learner. Some people drink and smoke, I do courses," the 70-year-old [Nelson Doucette] laughed from St. John's, where he earned his social work degree at home in Newfoundland by distance education.
Doucette is a Mi'kmaq with British heritage on his father's side. Because he spent much of his career working with Newfoundland veterans from the First World War and Second World War, Doucette dealt with the British government, since Newfoundland's veterans were not Canadian citizens until Korea.
