Aging and Cross Cultural Communication
USC Annenberg Room 207, 11:30 am
Research has shown that communication between younger and older adults in the Western societies is fraught with many difficult problems.

He seeks to understand not only whether our theoretical stance will work in these difference cultural terrains, but also whether they provide a remedy for creating an intergenerational climate that is healthier with age.
