A volume in Lifespan Learning The communication and technology
revolution presents each age group of adults with new expectations
for learning. This book describes how education for young adults
(20 to 40 years of age), persons of middle age (40 to 60 years of
age) and older adults (age 60 +) can be differentiated to fulfill
changing role demands emerging in response to social
transformation. Developmental tasks for a society of longevity are
defined including why youth should be seen as essential sources of
learning for adults. Themes for each generation are school, work,
family, and personal identity. The way to ensure consideration of
cultural evolution and cultural preservation is for
intergenerational communication to become a common obligation.
Reliance on age-segregated communication is popular and comfortable
because peer conversations have greater agreement and less
uncertainty. However, this practice prevents reflection on views
regarded as important by other age groups. When greater amounts of
time are devoted to intergenerational dialogue, the usual outcomes
are reciprocal learning, mutual respect, and harmony. This book
identifies and elaborates the conditions of learning needed to
motivate an age-integrated society. This book is for several
audiences. Faculty and students studying development will find
insights on learning at successive ages. Counselors will learn
about client needs across the full age range of adulthood. Social
service providers will recognize transition in family
relationships. Nurses and administrators will discover ways to help
assisted living residents maintain mental abilities and build
social networks. General readers will understand ways to improve
life for relatives, friends, co-workers, and themselves.
