If the brain continues to receive stimuli and appropriate chemicals for energy, then it follows tat there will be increased brain function and activity. If the voltage, just as in a battery, becomes stronger, then activity increases. As the brain is continually stimulated, more building materials are produced that allow information to become part of our experience. Interestingly, the variety and frequency of certain exercise programs, in fact, "teach" the body at different rates. Using different intensities of movement, concerns of overeating, weight regulation, quality of life, and especially depression are mitigated (Douglas, 2009). Finally, the healthcare and other market modifiers will need to change and evolve as the population ages. The global baby bust will change financial markets, investing, products, services, the workforce, types of jobs (healthcare, etc.) as well as the quality and quantity of goods that need to be moved from one country to another. When older people sell their assets, or focus their savings into different areas, global capital and investment markets change. Too, now that many consumer good markets are global, changes in demographics will have a large impact upon decisions to build, upgrade, and service those markets (Fast food, Wal-Mart, etc.). The aging population will also change consumerism, and a translation to different healthcare needs and expectations of all stakeholders (Christianson, et.al., 2008; Does Population Aging, 2012).

Aging Another Country: Navigating the Emotional Terrain of Our Elders Main Points: Aging is one of the most important social, political, and economic issues in America at the moment. People are living longer, but they are not necessarily living better. It is important to have new models of aging that bring families together rather than condone or enable isolation and alienation. There are cultural differences in attitudes toward the elderly. Generation gaps also reveal points of divergence

Aging Public Health Issues Everything in the world changes and does not remain the same forever. Human development is also full of different phases. The three major phases of human life is birth, adulthood and death. Among these three major phases, aging is the process that a person encounters after he crosses the boundaries of adulthood. One very important thing about aging is that it is very subjective is nature. It is contingent

Aging The social issue in which I am interested is how the aging of society will affect the way that we view the elderly. The idea here is that population growth via the baby boom created a generation that had the economic means -- by virtue of the ratio of working age people to elderly -- to remain at a distance from the elderly. The textbook describes how this generation (and
