This Web site is intended eventually to be a
clearing house of information relevant to the processes of aging in
America. It is dedicated to exploring and illuminating all aspects of
aging and all forms that aging takes, from the healthiest Third Agers to those
who survive incapacitated. The stereotypes of aging are rampant forms of
discrimination in the United States, and this site is dedicated to dismantling
these stereotypes. It is intended to be a forum where the aging themselves
can define and project their own new models for being an elderly citizen in
America and discuss these models. Moreover, new models of retirement are
emerging, and this site will explore these emerging models. Recent
research is also dismantling many ideas about the aging process, and this site
will seek to keep you abreast of this new research. The motto of this Web
site is not "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" but rather
"Embrace all hope, ye who enter here."
This site is still under construction, though it
already provides hundreds of links to relevant sites. To facilitate this
ongoing process, please make your
contributions through the "Visitor Response Page."
Your contributions
will make this site what is intended to be: a place to exchange, find, and
add to information on the processes of Aging in America.
Eventually this site will allow the aging to
communicate with each other around the world through a variety of chat
rooms. Membership will also be available with e-mail, homepage, family
photo albums, Web site, and other options. Here is a preview of some
current highlights of this Web site. Click on each for more details.
