Choose a TV show or a movie in which older people play a prominent role (for example, Golden Girls or Grumpy Old Men). Watch it (at least 2 episodes if it is a TV show) and note how old age is represented. Then, in a written report, discuss these representations, and how accurate they are based on what you have learned in this course about adulthood and old age. In your write-up, you should provide examples of how the show/movie represents older adults, and clearly examine whether or not these representations match up with research on the psychological lives of older individuals. Finally, give the show or movie an accuracy score, out of 40 possible points (40 points would mean entirely accurate).
