Aging & Personal Motivation

At present, I would consider myself as a mix between being internally oriented and field independent. This means that most of the time, I believe that I am capable of controlling my environment, especially in determining my choices and chances in life. Moreover, I believe my trait of being internally-oriented is also related to my being field independent, where I feel no need to depend on other people in order to accomplish my daily tasks, or simply because I feel the need to socialize or interact with them. Right now, I have a lot of opportunities that I alone can decide what to choose, and it is only through my skills and knowledge that I will be able to become successful as an individual. At present, I believe that I still have a lot to prove to myself, I yearn things in order to improve myself as an individual. Thus, right now, my concern is to contribute further to my personal development as an individual, allowing myself to be influenced by my social environment only once in a while, especially when the need to socialize arises.

However, despite the great motivation I have to personally develop myself, I am also considering the fact that in the years to come, I will change and probably become more field dependent that I am right now. But I believe that I will still remain to be internally-oriented, primarily because this is how I grew up and developed to be through the years. In addition, I do not believe in chances or luck as the ultimate determinants of one's life; rather, it is through the individual's perseverance and hard work that s/he gets what s/he wants or needs. However, I allow for the potential that I will be field-dependent, for I have always considered interacting with others as a healthy 'exercise' for self-development especially when one approaches old age. Moreover, I believe that as an aging individual, I would need more interaction in order to bring more meaning to my life -- that is, I am willing to share with other people my life in the same way that they would need mine in order for them to develop fully as individuals.

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
