- playing football
- watching television, surveying the Internet
- Going to the movies
- meeting with friends, going clubbing
- reading, studying
- dancing
- playing tennis
- going jogging, cook
- Grandma on her own, Grandpa at retirement home
- They are all gone by now
- She doesn't need help
- No one
- Pension
- Taken care of by their family, but still healthy enough to take care of themselves.
- On their own
- Nobody
- Dead
- Pension
- If they are still fit in their minds it is often quite enjoyable to have conversations with them. Unless their vision of everything is skewed by their inability to keeping up with modern society.
- They always want to talk a lot
- Nothing special
- They are boring
- Normally I like that if they talk about their lives etc.
- I work at a restaurant, mostly old people come there, and I really enjoy listening to their stories.
- They sometimes just need someone to talk to.
- They are not interested in the things young people like. (except your own grandparents)
- If it's my own family.
- They have a lot life experience.
- No time
- I like their stories. They're having so much time and love talking to other people (even in their everyday life). So I like to listen what they have got to tell.
- To learn about their experience and wisdom.
- To give time and love back like they did in my childhood.
- I loved my grandparents, mother´s side, but in general I don not like spending time with elderly people.
- They always tell the same stories over, and over again.
- They like to talk about their past and storys from the second World War. And they are interested in youngsters!
- Most elderly people are really nice, and they like telling storing, which I don't mind listening to.
- Sometimes
- Yes, because of the stories and knowledge.
- No, because they can be really stubborn.
- They always have interesting stories to tell. And they do know much more than one expects them to.
- You can learn a lot from them like the stories, have a lot of experience.
- Age does not matter , if you like to spend time with people.
- Because giving and receiving are metaphysics for life.
- Sometimes. If I have enough time. They tell great stories.
- They are sooo cute and you can learn a lot by listening to their stories and they are happy, if you spend time with them.
- They have a lot to tell.
- They smell.
- It depends on the person, not the age. I surely love my grandpa, but I can not spent much time with him. We're completely different kinds of personalities and I get mad if I have to discuss with him.
- Would never say no to a money earning possibility.
- Most of them are cheap.
- I am very busy myself.
- I'll find other ways to earn money.
- It is easy and fun to do.
- I earn more money in a regular job.
- As long as it is cleaning and stuff like that, I could never really take care of old people like nurses in retirement homes do, I think that's an awful job.
- Don't like that type of work. I am not a social-worker.
- I would like to, but I do not have to get paid per se.
- Not the perfect job for me ;)
- They are never satisfied.
- Why not, Doesn't matter who you're working for.
- I don't need money from my grandparents.
- If they are not my patients I will not, because in the past I also got a lot help and education from elderly people. Help and education without paying money, this is what I want to give back.
- Money could make it worth while.
- It is Fun!
- Feeling good because you give something back to society.
- Earning money is a good thing and helping people is also good.
- I think I would help them if I'd had the money!
- You can help them, I have no problems to work with /for them.
- Because I was taught so. And I like to help people.
- Helping people is time and time is money.
- Earn money + help people = good job.
- They are not able to do everything and for us it's an easy thing to help.
- You are getting money? Is there any better reason? ;-) ok. I see... I think our younger generation is responsible for the older people in our society.
- They did a lot for us, so we can give them something back.
- No time.
- Why not? it's a Job if I get paid.
- I don't think they pay as much money as you could earn with other jobs.
7) What kind of tasks
can you think of and what would you do for the elderly?
- Definitely not care taking. I think I would be able to run errands and I am not able to give them up such for elderly people.
