Assignment 2-Research 1
After asking around, I found out some of the problems elderlies face.
1. Language/Communication barrier
As most of the older people grow up in the ‘kampongs’ they tend to only speak dialects. This created a gap between their generation and the younger ones as nowadays we dont speak dialects. We would not be able to understand what are they talking about and vice versa. Some would not know how to speak or read English, causing a further gap.
2. Movement
Elderly tend to move slower and blocks the human traffic. They have difficulties moving around as well. Sometimes, they might even find it hard to walk across the street. They will take a longer time to reach their designated point as they will always find a place to rest before continuing their journey.
3. Memory problems
As we grow old, losing part of our memory is common. This results them in not remembering many things and is a disturbance to life. It seems like they are starting from the beginning but in actual fact, it’s not.
4. Insomnia
Losing their sleep as we grow older is another common thing as well. They might be tired while sitting down but once they go to their bed, they would stay awake for the whole night. However, this does not applies to all!
