Abstract
Human beings will experience a set of natural phases in life: birth, childhood, teenage hood, adult hood, middle age, and elderhood. Some people may find it exciting to talk about the first few phases of their life. On the other hand, they might be reluctant to talk about growing old because not so many people like being old. As a consequence, people have to fight against old age. The great number of anti-aging products sold in the market shows that being old is not so preferable because it brings both biological and psychosocial changes. Donion (1999, cited in Stanley and Beare, 1999, p. 11) states that there are biological and psychosocial theories on the aging process. Biologically, old people’s cells and molecule structures, immunity, and senses are not the same as when they were young. They may also have different personality and social life as they are getting older. Furthermore, the resentment of being old has existed since thousands years ago. The following is Ptah Hotep’s, the ancient Greek scribe, statement about aging made some 4,500 years ago.
