Political organizations that influence the lives of the elderly (e.g., the American Association of Retired Persons, Gray Panthers, Older Women’s League) will be examined as well as government and social welfare programs (i.e., Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare). What constitutes “citizenship” and the role of a “senior citizen” will also be explored.
