The response and effect of culture and ethnicity are examined as to the care, status, and services accorded to an elderly individual who is a member of a specific culture group. In addition, students explore the aging of subgroups within society (e.g., women, homeless, individuals with special needs) and become aware of how human diversity impacts the delivery of services, treatment and care of aging individuals. Prerequisite(s): GER 2301 and GER 2101, or GER 2401, or permission of instructor.
