Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While seniors may receive respect and may be consulted about important matters in some instances, the loss of roles that often accompanies old age is a significant aspect of seniors' socialization experiences. This loss of roles may lead to feelings of isolation and disconnectedness from society. While seniors may contribute to the socialization of their grandchildren, this is not a universal experience and is not as prevalent as the loss of roles. Therefore, options A and D are not the best choices. Option B only refers to the media's portrayal of seniors and does not necessarily reflect their actual socialization experiences, making it a less accurate choice than option C.
