SOCIOCULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN PERSPECTIVES ON AGING
Some cultures view death not as an endpoint but as a beginning, or not as a distinct separation but merely a thin veil or doorway through which a person passes. Other cultures esteem the older generations and honor them for their wisdom, whereas others regard elders as incapable of contributing to society. How might these distinct views on death and older people influence perspectives on the aging process? What other cultural differences might impact perceptions of aging?
This week, you explore different cultures’ views of aging and consider how these differences might influence social work. You also think cross-culturally about how you could integrate another culture’s perspective in your practice.
Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.
TO PREPARE:
Review the Learning Resources on sociological aspects of later adulthood.
Using the Walden Library, research two cultures different from your own and examine their perspectives on aging.
An example search in the library databases is social conditions or sociocultural AND aging.
Post a comparison of your culture’s perspective on aging to the perspectives of the two cultures you researched. Explain why you think these differences exist. Also, explain how different perspectives on aging might impact social work practice.

According to Bowen’s family systems theory, the well-differentiated person can balance thinking and feeling and, at the same time, retain objectivity and flexibility. Differentiation of self involves the capacity to be in close emotional contact with significant others without having one’s thinking, emotions, and behavior governed by seemingly involuntary reactions to the family’s emotional environment.
Answer the following questions from a transgenerational model point of view:
Regarding the Walker-Descartes et al. (2021) reading, how might Bowen’s concept of the multigenerational transmission process apply?
From a Bowenian perspective, how would you avoid triangulation during family therapy sessions?

1. Can the illegal transplant of organs involving a transaction between a paying recipient and a seller of organs be considered a ‘victimless’ crime? Why or Why not? What if a broker is involved?
2. Can medical professionals, specifically social workers involved in transplant procedures, be held liable through the knowledge alone?
3. Should medical staff, specifically social workers,  involved in follow-up care of patients who have purchased organs be held accountable if they fail to alert health and/or legal authorities?
When answering these three questions, you need to consider AND CITE the Social Work Code of Ethics and the Social Work Values.
