| Annotation | The average expectation of life in 1974 is over seventy. An unpublished Age Concern report indicates that nearly three-quarters of older people believe that more concern is shown about them than in the past. In his address to the National Institute of Social Work (NISW), the author states that old age is a risk that we all run. However, we lack any coherent philosophy about old age, and there is ambiguity and conflict in our attitudes. There is also a vast amount of humbug, demonstrated by euphemisms such as the "golden age" and "senior citizens", when for most people old age is a hard time. (RH). |
