Discuss two major theories of ageing in relation to the development of an individual In this part of the assignment I am going to produce two case studies, one on my character that is engaging and another on their neighbour disengaging. Case Study on Hannah Over the months Hannah has improved in all different areas.
For example, she has started to go out again socialising and meeting new people, she has recently joined the Gym to improve her fitness and weighs the right weight for her age and height so she is now a healthy weight and she has also been meeting new people by going to the gym and becoming more social able with others, she has started going to rehabilitation for her misuse of alcohol and has been alcohol free for two months.
She is now in full time working at a local care home so can afford to look after her children by feeding them and paying her bills such as water and gas therefore the children and herself can wash their selves therefore she has now got a high income coming into her household. She has recently moved to a better estate in a clean home where there no mould growing on the walls therefore her asthma has improved because she do not have many asthma attacks like she did before when she was living in a poor quality house.
Since becoming social able and meeting new friends she has now got back in contact with family which has helped by looking after her children while she is in work. She has now cut down on smoking and only smoking up to four times a day when before she was smoking at least 30 fags a day, this is due to her being less stress because stuff for her have started to look up and fitting back into place like it was before her husband died. Because of all these changes she is now engaging. Case Study on Jonathon

Jonathon 45 years old has recently gone through a divorce with his wife that he was married to for 20 years. He used to be very active going to the gym 4 times a week and jogging a mile or two twice a week which he has now become un active and staying in most the time watching the television if not going to the shop to buy alcohol. he had a good paying job as a physical education teacher which he had a career in for 10 years which he has recently been sacked because he is always drinking.
He used to be very social able going out with his friends to a local men’s institute which involved a couple of drinks on the weekend and a game of pool for a couple of hours but has lost contact with friends because of attitude and behaviour towards them. His family lives in America where as he lives in England and only family he had around him was his mother who had died two years ago before he was going through a divorce with his wife therefore he is alone which is due to becoming un social able.
He is living in poor hygiene conditions such as after he has eat which is only three times a week because he relies on alcohol for his hunger he do not wash the dishes and chucks them underneath the settee, this has due to bacteria growing on his furniture such as mould, fly’s and rats into the house. Because he only has a low income because he is only receiving income off the dole he cannot afford to pay his bills, he has had several letters in the mail saying if he does not continuing paying his bills he will be out on the streets, because of these drastic changes in Jonathon he is becoming disengaged.
