Indeed, bro! While enrolled at a SUNY school, during my undergrad, I participated in a team research project w three other students. We were researching the geriatric population. So after all the policy red-tape was complete, we went to a local nursing home.
One of our research members was a young woman from Jordan. She said, "It's nice that the US has facilities that care for the eldery w no family." Instantly, another student replied by explaining that most of them have families, but don't have time to care for them. The Jordanian girl was mortified! She couldn't believe that such a place existed, especially w some of their family members not even a mile away. She was visibly upset and whitenessing her reaction resonated with me deeply.
Not to get all dorky, but my life changed the day, w regard to how we treat our elderly. They're discarded like a piece of trash when they become too much of a burden. I'm a true lover of this nation, but we treat our oldies like shit.
I'm 43 now and my dad's handicap and lives w me and he will until he's no longer breathing.
Hopefully, I am not coming off sanctimonious, but it's my hope that we adopt some cultural trends from less developed nations and take care of the people that took care of us.
