Abstract

We don't discuss sexuality enough when considering the lives of older adults. It's easy to assume that aging brings dramatic changes and that sexuality is not a topic that concerns older adults to any great degree. Sometimes, however, events bring about a dramatic shift in awareness and understanding. More recently, in 2006, the film Away From Her, brought issues of sexuality in couples dealing with dementia into sympathetic attention, with Julie Christie starring as an older woman with Alzheimer's disease whose sexuality remains vibrant. While we still see many casual advertisements and media stories equating sexuality only with the young. There has been a paradigm shift toward a greater understanding that sexuality is an important part of life, throughout one's lifetime. However, it is not easy for health professionals in training to find information to learn more about aging and sexuality, Sexuality in older adults is a neglected topic: greater understanding of the area has the potential to contribute to the quality of life of senior one, their family members and formal careers. Here in this paper significant is given to current knowledge about sexuality and ageing.

Abstract

Family is the primary and most important socializing agent for all individuals. It plays a very important role in the individual in terms of their personality development and adjustment. The quality of parental care in the early years of a child plays a vital role in the mental health of a child. The basic needs of a child are to be met within the institution of family and this aids the individual's normal development. The family usually helps the child's development in two major way s, primarily, in terms of satisfaction of immediate instinctual needs and secondly by providing an atmosphere of affection and security. Based on these the child develops the physical, mental and social capacities to the full extent. The relationship with the mother at the early ages and later on with the father as the age increases plays an important role in the normal development of the child.

Abstract

Sport belongs to all human beings. It is unique to the human species. Like humans, other animals engage in play. But only the human species takes part in sport. We are the only ones on earth who set up barriers and try to jump over them to see who can get to the finish line first. We are the only ones who compete for the absolute satisfaction of winning. It has been a long road to equality for women at the Olympic Games, and it is still continuing. Aside from the digital revolution, the rapid rise in the importance and value of female athletes has been one of the most distinctive shifts in the sports marketing landscape in the last 50 years. We now see the young women growing up with a much higher chance of developing an interest in sport, and female sporting celebrities providing role models who are closing the gap with non-sport celebrities and their male counterparts. This paper presents an overview of three topics related to gender equity and sports. These topics include (1) history of gender equity in sports, (2) gender equity issues in athletics; (3) gender equity in sports participation.

Keywords
