'Older Adults in the Media\r'

'Grand Canyon University December 6, 2009 of age(p) Adults in the Media crabbed Old Men The stage is ab place deuce retired matureer work force named tin can Gustafson and Max Gold art object. The 2 seduce been relay stations since they were children. They are forever and a day playing pranks on each other and giving each other a hard time. The audience finds out that the reason the two fight is because a long time ago can buoy won the heart of the woman Max wanted. Their antics get as yet crazier when an adventurous single woman moves into the house crosswise the street named Ariel.\r\nThe two men fawn over her, constantly watching her house from their windows. When Ariel stops by Johns house for a surprise bathroom ramify at 1:30am Max gets jealous mentation that John is in a sexual descent with the younger women. Max then pursues Ariel, bringing her flowers and taking her ice look for. But Ariel says he is just a friend. That is when she begins to pursue John an d after a amatory day playing in the snow the two have sex. Well John is tickled pink and is having the some fun he’s had in a long time.\r\nWhen Max finds out he lashes out at John. John figures that he won the frontmost women they fought over and he breaks up with Ariel. Max chases her and the two spend time together yet neer anything romantic. Then John has a heart ravish and Max finds him and calls for help. This is when Ariel comes back into John’s life. The video skips ahead and we see John and Ariel getting unify and the photo ends with the two of them driving away from the wedding. cardinal of the separates I first identified was the title Grumpy Old Men.\r\nIt implies that old men are fussy and unhappy with life. The movie goes on to show us that these two men are cranky by them fighting with each other and complaining round things uniform the price of fishing worms. A nonher boss is that old people are lonely. In the movie we see John playing chess by himself and heating up a TV dinner party every night after a all told day spent alone in his fishing shanty. The two men liked to talk or so dying and what the best way to go would be.\r\nThis is a stereotype that goes along with older people zest to talk about their checkup aliments. The two men complain about the different medical problems they have had and they try to outdo each other verbalise that their medical problem was way more dread(a) than the other persons. The men also showed the noisy dwell stereotype that older people get when they stood external their houses watching Ariel move in and then lecture about it with the rest of the town.\r\nAnother stereotype is that old people aren’t very good device drivers like when John ran into the trash cans all the time or when Max was too distracted to see the UPS driver in front of him. Then after narrowly missing an accident Max says â€Å"watch where you’re going. ” One of the funniest cha racters in the movie was John’s dad. He embodied the classic old man pervert. When John would talk about Ariel he would severalise John to â€Å"mount her. ” Lastly another stereotype shown was that old men are impotent. Like when John and Max were making fun of their other friend saying he â€Å"couldn’t rise to the occasion. I can’t say that I have in mind that any of the stereotypes are true or untrue. rough of the characteristics describe some older adults I hump and some gull’t. That is the thing about stereotypes they don’t fit the whole group. I do oblige my own stereotypes about older adults but I try to work on not letting them affect my judgment of the person. All of the stereotypes I identified in the movie I hold especially about the men being misshapen and impotent and that they like to talk about their medical problems.\r\nI’ve been to dinner with my Grandma and Grandpa beforehand and all they can do is talk abo ut this doctor’s appointment and that doctor’s appointment. So I’ve seen some of these stereotypes first hand. Yes my catch of older adults has deepend over the semester. I think that working with them and seeing that the stereotypes are not true has helped change my view. All old men are not perverted and the old women are not lonely. I’ve talked with many of the older adults at Banner and Glencroft and I’ve found them to be nice, helpful, and respectful.\r\n'
