| Summary: | Title screen It is established that active longevity is connected with the intense intellectual activity at any age. Nowadays a man uses only a part of his/her intellectual capacities and it leads to reducing the storage capacity of mental memory. Globalization processes, medical and public health achievements have a positive effect on human longevity. Due to this, there is a problem of transforming “survival probability” into the active part of the human life activity known as “The Fifth Age”. As the subject of research is complex and multidimensional, it requires multifaceted study. In the study different methods such as analysis of information resources reflecting recent data about seniors' well-being, analysis of websites providing medical and social support to seniors, study of scientific papers about seniors' well-being are used. As a result a hypothesis about the conflict between the study of seniors' wellbeing problem and the lack of study of effective methods creating positive path of active aging based on senior's personal memories is formed. Summing up the results it can be concluded that seniors' well-being greatly depends on their participation in cultural memorial practices. |
