Intergenerational Playgroup

353 Words2 Pages

I enjoyed reading this article because it was very informative about the program of intergenerational playgroup. Prior to this article I knew of IPP, but after reading about a research study and it is statistical evidence about how effective the program can be it is hard not to be interested. This article was a learning experience for me as a professional and as a person because I may not work with older adults right away after I graduate it gives me a good foundation. The population is growing older and older and you will come in contact with older adults sooner or later in life so it is important to have a wide variety of skills in that setting. All of the benefits that this particular program offers for older adults with and without dementia

I have always enjoyed spending time with elderly people because I find their wisdom and experience to be incredibly intriguing and fascinating. I loved listening to their stories of which they were extremely content to share. To see their eyes dance as they recounted a fond memory from their youth or witness their excitement when I mentioned various thoughts of mine that reminded them of a favorite family member or close

    Summarize the central argument: Through a series of in-depth interviews Irene Bolemraad gathers enough information to argue that the process in which immigrant families decide to participate in protests (such as the 2006 immigrant right rallies) could be reversed in a way where the younger members of the household are the ones to influence the parents to mobilize.

    First, the lack of sources makes it hard to believe all the information they provide. Allenby and Garreau provided a large amount of information, it just would have been better to know where they gathered the information. Another reason why sources would have been helpful is because different types of audiences understand different topics. As for my age group and education level, we would have benefited from sources because we might have not understood as much as older more educated adults have. Second, the authors seem to have a biased opinion throughout the article.
