One of the topics for this week’s material on aging has to do with wisdom. There are many types of wisdom, such as intellectual, emotional, relational, and so on. I found a video (only 20 minutes long) that captures snippets of wisdom from a series of elderly people. Here is what I would like you to do:

Click on “The Wisdom of the Aged” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgpaMfXdFaA) and watch this documentary, taking notes so that you can tell us what struck you most about what you heard.

Come back to the discussion and tell us three of the most interesting or assuring things that you learned from our speaker.

At least two things that you resolve to incorporate into your treatment of your own elderly members of your family.

Tell us one thing that puzzled you about something one of the elderly said.

Finish by telling us whether or not your view of the elderly has changed in any way.
