Hello! About this blog...

Greetings!

The purpose of this blog is to document a journey of discovering the realities behind the large number of negative stereotypes associated with aging in North America and hopefully engaging readers in some discussion. This blog is part of a group project for our psychology course on Aging at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, Canada.

Our group members come from diverse backgrounds and each of us have our own unique experiences with the elderly which we also hope to share with our readers. You can find out a bit more about us by clicking on our profiles. Hopefully the documentation of our discussions and experiences will help us (and maybe others) come to face with our own preconceptions on the process of aging. We welcome you to participate by commenting on our posts.

Full disclosure: Our intent is to create a digital artifact that will provide documentation on the insights of our experiences and learning we encounter about aging stereotypes for non-commercial academic purposes solely. Although this blog will be a marked assignment for our course, we will not be using this blog for research purposes of any kind. However, please note that this is a blog on the Internet and therefore anything published, including comments, are accessible to the general public.

Hope to hear from you!

Cheers,
Kapena, Kristen, Neptune, & Wilson
