https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_buettner_how_to_live_to_be_100
As you reflect on your readings and your own personal and professional experiences with others consider this week’s learning objectives and describe how the material from this week challenged you, corrected myths and/or concerned you. What are some of the new questions that are now arising for you? (Please note you may use “I” as this week’s post is meant to be reflective.)
Then search the literature to find evidence based practices and interventions that would help you to answer your questions and concerns as if you were going to create change that would increase or enhance the life span of Americans.
Your Tasks:
Please submit one original post (400-500 words)
Cite the text when appropriate for the discussion prompt above. Cite at least two relevant peer-reviewed journal articles.
IMPORTANT
Prior to submitting your posts, check them for appropriate grammar, usage and spelling. In the field of social work it is important to be able to communicate effectively when writing as well as when speaking. Errors in these areas will result in a lower grade for your discussion posts.
