Summary Introduction

Introduction

The first theme of the life course perspective is that the aging process is shaped by historical time and place. The second theme of this mode focuses on the ability of people to make their own choices independent of others' input and advice. Finally, the life course model argues that aging is a lifelong process, and events in early life can affect aging. It rejects the notion that aging is a discrete event that should only be considered in terms of one's older years.
