Older Adult Population

Abstract The recent reauthorization of the Older Americans Act adds language and definitions to current issues facing the aging population. Specifically, Title I includes definitions related to program adaptation and coordination, workforce and long-term care issues, nutrition and social isolation, as well as family caregivers. Different from the last authorization, these definitions span beyond the individual experience to include other entities impacted by an aging society, such as the workforce and families. Overall, the Title I reauthorization seeks to modernize policy to reflect the current influx of the older adult population and its consequences.

Abstract The Older Americans Act (OAA) is the foremost federal law focused on the wellbeing of aging adults in the US. Since its conception 1965, the OAA has sought to optimize the lives of aging Americans, with emphasis on low-income adults, through programs that promote nutrition, transportation, support caregivers, offer employment, and combat elder abuse. This symposium will explore the modernization of the 2020 OAA, which was last reauthorized in 2016. Presentations 1 and 2 will focus on important updates to the definitions used throughout OAA (Title I). Presentation 3 will cover several noteworthy changes to improving grants for states and community programs on aging’s (Title II). Presentation 4 will provide additional context to amendments made to modernize activities for health, independence, and longevity (Title III) prioritize senior Community Service Employment Programs (Title IV) and enhance grants for Native Americans (Title V). Presentation 5 explores the modernizing allotments for vulnerable elder rights protection activities and other programs (Title IV) included changes in funding and home and community-based best practices and elder justice activities. Collectively, these presentations will provide an overview of the key changes in the reauthorization of the OAA. This work will allow GSA attendees to understand the specific efforts to modernization this critical legislation to better serve the aging US population.

Original Treatment

This anthology includes fourteen of Crispin Wrights’s highly influential essays on the phenomenon of vagueness in natural language, collectively representing almost half a century of cutting-edge systematic research. Key issues addressed include whether or under what assumptions vague expressions’ apparent tolerance of marginal changes in things to which they apply indicates that they are governed by inconsistent semantic rules, the varieties of Sorites paradox and the roots of the plausibility of their respective major premises, what it is for something to be a borderline case of a vague expression, whether vagueness should be viewed as fundamentally a semantic or an epistemic phenomenon, whether there is ‘higher-order’ vagueness, and what should be the appropriate logic for vague statements. The essays reprinted here jointly document the development of a distinctively original treatment of the philosophy and logic of vagueness, broadly analogous to the intuitionistic philosophy and logic for pure mathematics. Richard Kimberly Heck contributes an extended introductory essay, providing both an insightful critical overview of the development of the distinctive elements of Wright’s thought about vagueness, and indeed an invaluable advanced introduction to the topic.
