Sociocultural Differences in Perspectives on Aging
Social views on aging vary among societies and cultures. It is too familiar within a Western
civilization to view aging negatively. According to Zastrow et al. (2019), often younger adults
urge older adults to “retire when many are still productive.” As a result, self-esteem, status, and
power decline (Zastrow, Kirst-Ashman, & Hessenauer, 2019) due to few social resources that
help older adults adapt to a new reality. Social resources, such as recreational programs, are
catered to younger individuals. Within certain cities, housing rates are skyrocketing, making it
impossible for older adults to live independently. Due to the social factors that contribute to
challenges, communities have implemented resources to help alleviate such challenges.
The community I reside in is predominantly Latino; therefore, community organizations
typically refer older adults to the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF). The
foundation’s mission is to improve social and economic challenges while simultaneously
preserving Mexican/Latino culture, values, and heritage (Mexican American Opportunity
Foundation, 2021). The non-profit organization provides various services to cater to individuals’
diverse needs, such as finding employment, immigration reform, low-income housing, food
vouchers, and more.
The services the organization seeks to provide immediate economic relief within the
community of Boyle Heights. Financial assistance is prioritized due to the increasing rent,
grocery/utility bills, and unemployment among the older adult population. For instance, the
foundation assists older adults in applying for Medicare/Medi-Cal, Supplemental Nutrition
