Attached herewith is the scanned article that relates to elder people. Source:

REFLECTION
First and foremost, in an obvious reason, the author tries to use the most
common “hippie name” that recent generation can correlate and dub --- the
“Gran”. (Bearon 2008)

Secondly, the article talks about a successful story of an elder person’s crusade
on equal pay rights for female workers, especially in the industry where
majority of the workers were males.
For the record, Lilly Ledbetter made a difference! The story portray heroism on
her side, to the point that the President of United States of America, Barack
Obama signed a new law named after her, making it easier for women to sue
their employers for pay discrimination. Now, that is wonder woman!
It is not the largely psychological question of how we are to raise our standards
of behavior--that is, lift our behavior closer to our standards--but how we are
to refine the standards themselves. The value and nature as it was told in the
article was relatively fair enough. Morality has been touch with even-
handedness and egalitarianism.
It has been said that we can live quite a few weeks without food; but we need
an ample amount to stay healthy. Without food our mental and physical
capabilities will deteriorate rapidly, and we will become weak. Food
replenishes the substances that your body burns and provides energy. It
provides vitamins, minerals, salts, and further elements essential to good
health. Possibly more important, it helps morale. Therefore, proper nutrition is
indeed indispensable. (Survival Guide 2002)
Poor nutrition contributes to stress, making these elder people uneasy and
unsecure. As betterhealth.vic.gov.au’s website states that:

Insuring their basic needs, thus, making them aware they are secured,
protected, look after in a safe and sound shelter. After all maintaining good
nutrition, safe and stress-free environment is one of the factors that
contributes Healthy Ageing (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2004)
No matter what they believe in, an elder person has its own needs. As the
famous Abraham Lincoln said: “all men are created equal”, which I believe is
true although our needs differs based on environment, desires, age, education
as the list go on. Making them involved in their own interest in terms of their
religious practice, social activities are worth a try, organising such activities
within the administrations consent and guidance is pleasing to their eyes.
To increase the quality of life to those residents; and to help us age care worker
with innovative ideas, as what New South Wales Transcultural Age Care
Services did was to give them resources that is personal to them such as Music

(on their own language) and perhaps if management agrees, cordon bleu some
recipes they like on the basis on their own culture.
Aside from physical abuse, emotional abuse and or psychological abuse is also
present. Psychological or emotional abuse is language or actions designed to
intimidate another person and are usually characterized by a pattern of
behavior repeated over time, intended to maintain a 'hold of fear' over

DOME
Slip and fall injuries may be the subject of many of Australia’s Funniest Home
Videos however, in reality, slippery floors are a very serious issue in our
homes. In fact, slippery floors are one of the largest contributors to injuries in
the home.

Bearing in mind the elder peoples’ safety in making shed plans, I believe is
highly important, although few of them are going to sheds, but it is not an
excuse of not making an allowance for them in plan making.

Picture 4 Franklin Square Male The toilet has poor lighting facilities, thus very
Public Toilet hazardous especially at night as it is open until late.
In addition to this, tiles create a tripping hazard,
toilet paper are scattered everywhere, vandalism is almost visible in every
corner, slippery pathways, hand rails not adequate, some doors of the toilet are
damaged so you can’t actually lock it if you prefer to pooh, not to mention the
sink is disgusting.
Although in comparison to other third world countries that I’ve been to,
Australians public toilets construct more and better toilet facilities, but still
should not ignore the special needs of the physically challenged members of
this society, the aged and the blind. They all deserve better toilet facilities that
are friendly to them so that they are not compelled to resort to unhygienic
ways of easing themselves.
