I’m working on a psychology multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
The research paper should address the questions below:
1. What is the myth you studied? Briefly describe the myth and give evidence/examples that the
myth is actually believed by people. (1-2 paragraphs)
2. Why do you think that this myth persists? This section of the paper will be largely
speculative, based on your own views and any evidence you can find. What role have historical,
social, political, and economic factors played in perpetuating this myth? How have societal
equalities and structured inequalities influenced the myth’s persistence. (1-3 paragraphs)
3. What is the reality? This will be the longest section of your paper and should cite five resources
(research evidence from primary sources). Give particular attention to diverse groups and the
cultural and societal influences that produce equality and inequality among 65+ adults in terms
of gender, race, ethnicity, class, education, cohort, and/or other differences. (3-4 pages)
4. What social actions do you think related to this myth might help to eliminate this myth and help
to bring about greater equality and social justice in the U.S. for elders? (1- 3 paragraphs)
