Agnes is clearly part of disengagement theory because of the lifestyle she leads. She is a widow meaning that she has lost her lifelong partner and has retracted from society meaning she isn’t talking to people and staying active. She has no social life meaning that she has stopped socialising following the disengagement theory. She has also past retirement age so she isn’t staying active at work and keeping her brain mentally healthy so she is more likely to become depressed as she has retreated back into her own world.…

The Disengagement theory - The disengagement theory, proposed by Cumming and Henry in 1961, suggests that older people make a positive effort to withdraw from life as a response to their decreased physical, intellectual, emotional and social skills. It suggests that they are willingly retire from work; willingly withdraw from relationships and disengage from roles, preferring to follow inactive, solitary activities; and willingly give up their normal ways of behaving, becoming more less friendly and companionable and sometimes hostile in their interactions. Cumming (1975) argued that older people would experience a decrease in social contact as they grew older and become increasingly 'individual' and isolated (less concerned with the expectations of others). He argued that it was appropriate and healthy for older people to withdraw from others - disengagement was a natural part of ageing. Zimbardo (1992) argued that ‘The disengagement view of social ageing has been largely discredited for a number of reasons’. The majority of older people do remain socially involved with family and friends and many older people become more involved with their family as they get into…
There are a lot of different factors that contribute to the disengagement theory. Firstly, ill health can affect an elderly person greatly because when they become ill, they may not be able to get around as much due to incidents like poor mobility, restricted hearing and impaired vision will likely stop the person from socialising as much with friends or relatives because they simply cant do things that they used to do anymore because of their illnesses.…
Hikikomori, or acute social withdrawal, is a culture-bound disorder which predominantly occurs in Asian countries. In Japanese culture, hikikomori is characterized by social withdrawal, self-imposed confinement in one’s own home, lack of intimate relationships with friends or family members, and the absence of engagement in social functions which occurs every day for at least six months (Cole, 2013). Social withdrawal, later named hikikomori, was first recognized and termed “withdrawal neurosis” within Japanese culture in the late 1970’s and 1980’s (Cole, 2013; Teo, 2010). Identification as withdrawal neurosis fell out of favor while “hikikomori” gained notoriety during the 1990’s. Hikikomori came into the spotlight as increased numbers of persons with hikikomori were referred for treatment. Public attention was also drawn to persons with hikikomori as media attention highlighted cases where persons with hikikomori acted in a violent fashion such as the 1996 case where a young man with hikikomori killed his father, with a baseball bat, after being confronted about his withdrawal (Tamaki, 1998).…
This is when a person, usually an older person, withdraws from involvement or when someone’s relationships with other people slowly cut off or change. Older people may withdraw from involvement when they feel they are limited to try and interact with other people. It has been proved that a lot of older people were more involved with life when they were younger however some people disagree and feel there are a large number of people who do not withdraw from society. For example when they retire they may lose contact with a lot of their colleagues or if they or their friends/family have impairments such as hearing or visual impairments it could make it more difficult to interact with each other. Technology may also restrict older people as they may not have internet or phones to be able to interact with their friends and family.…

In today’s society, humans isolate themselves from other people because they do not want to deal with the cruel reality of life and dealing with the judgement of other people. “Social isolation is also defined as the absence of relationships with family or friends on an individual level, and with society on a broader level (Alspach).” People isolate themselves from others for different reasons and unfortunately sometimes they are not able to escape from other people. Some people try to escape their work life and others attempt to escape their family and friends for deep rooted reasons. Isolation is not good for a person’s health and contrary to popular belief it could do more harm than help, “People who feel isolated and lonely and excluded tend to have poor physical health…

It can contribute toward many emotional, behavioral and physical disorders including anxiety, eating disorders, panic attacks, addictions, substance abuse, and violence. In the film, The Village, written by M. Night Shyamalen, the villagers demonstrate the ritual view of communication throughout the entire movie.…

The disengagement theory of aging states that people are more likely to withdraw from life as they get older because of their decrease in physical, intellectual, emotional and social skills and their abilities to do certain things, their interests and expectations of how they should behave lower. It suggests that they willingly retire from work, relationships and disengage from roles, preferring to follow an inactive life and freely give up their traditional, normal ways of behaving, becoming less and less friendly and companionable and sometimes hostile in their interactions. The theory claims that it is natural and acceptable for older adults to withdraw from society as they go through changes that will change their life, Retirement is an expected life event in everyone’s life and can effect the elderly very badly as they may not go out anymore or interact with anyone this will lower their social skills and could make them feel as though they don’t have anyone to talk to making them feel depressed and lonely, disengaging could lead to the individual developing dementia, depression or any other mental conditions. The Elderly may disengage because of their physical state they may be unable to get out of the house and meet people because of disability or mental condition, they could also be unhappy with the way they look as their appearance will change they may become more wrinkly and get grey hair making them feel older this could lower their self esteem…
