Part 1) Share about your experience with aging, or someone you know. This can be a family member, friend, neighbor or coworker. What have you observed about the aging process? What struggles have they gone through? Do you personally relate to their experience? If so, how? https://www.ted.com/talks/carl_honore_why_we_should_embrace_aging_as_an_adventure
part 2) This post is based on the documentary Big Mama found in the Course Videos link.
Viola is the grandmother of Walter for whom she took responsibility on her son's request. After watching the documentary please share what stood out for you the most in Viola and Walter's story. You can focus on an aspect of the story and discuss your thoughts about it. You can focus on one character of the story - Viola, Walter, Viola's other children, staff at the hospital or residential school Walter resided in. You can focus on a challenge or opportunity Viola or Walter experienced, or the obstacles Viola faced in trying to care for her grandson. Make sure to respond to two other student postings for each Discussion Board so you can achieve the maximum points available!
