Somewhat Halfway There

Surprisingly, I don’t feel that overwhelmed. Today, we wanted to research stereotypes and myths associated with elderly people. Hopefully we can also start thinking of questions we are going to ask our subjects. In this article, we learned that most myths are associated with:

• Depression
• Loneliness 
• Memory loss
• Creativity
• Lower libido
• Religion

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT AGAINST. Our whole idea is to show them as a lively group that can be independent and can live their lives. Even though there is that minor percentage of elders who need help to live their daily lives, our objective is to show that their stories and their personality keep them young. When discussing our project with our teacher, we decided to interview three subjects and have them tell their stories. Right now, we need to find those interviewees and figure out where to film. Wish us luck.
