Discussion Post: Sociology the Treatment of Older People

Part I:

1) Compare how the US treats the elderly with how another country treats the elderly.

2) Use examples from media, articles, laws/policies, news outlets, etc. to support your analyses.

3) Which do you think is more beneficial to society? Use the theoretical perspectives explained in your textbook to demonstrate your opinion.

Part II:

Sociologist Arlie Hochschild studied American Families in several ethnographies to understand how women working full-time with children under 6 years old separate their roles in the household. I highly recommend reading her book - The Second Shift - but for now, you can research articles and videos on her findings.

Watch the following video and do some research on her findings.

You can start here to hear a background of why she conducted this research - YouTube Video: "The Second Shift: Arlie Hochschild".

1) What did Arlie Hochschild find?

2) What do you think about her findings?

3) Think about all the work that is done in the household every single day (cooking, cleaning, dishes, operations, childcare, etc.) How much would you pay someone to do this work?
