Intelligence Influences Upon Intellectual Development
Topic: Intelligence – Influences Upon Intellectual Development
This course is an introduction to the sociological study of aging and adult development. The course is focused on aging from a life course perspective, and it is primarily concerned with how the adult life course is shaped by social context and relationships in conjunction with individual characteristics and the inevitable consequences of the choices we make. During the semester, we will examine how the aging process is related to social institutions such as the family, the economy, and the political system. I will present the chapters in the Moody text each week, with a brief narration in PowerPoint, and post them in Blackboard in the Moody Presentations Section. This course has four primary goals:
- To facilitate familiarity with basic concepts and theories in the sociology of aging and view aging from an interdisciplinary perspective
- To provide students with knowledge of the aging process, and how the life course trajectories of individuals may be influenced by personal choices and life events as experienced in particular social contexts.
- To give students a better grasp of the major controversies associated with aging, as well as a balanced view of the differing perspectives on these controversies.
- To stimulate insights into the individual aging experience, in the context of a changing society.
