RJA#9c - Presentation Plan - Outline

Outline:

I. Aging - Introduction by defining Aging - Aging in Women (specific)

II. Changes that occur in the female body
A. physically
1. appearance
2. internal
B. emotionally
1. personal impact
2. societal impact/influences

III Remedies and Responses to the aging process in a woman
A. Naturally based
1. Internal - nutrition and use of vitamins & supplements
2. External - weight management by diet, and toning & condition exercise
B. Modern ("man made) medical - drug and technology
1. Internal - Hormone (or, other drug) replacement therapy; or
surgical removal of organs, body mass and/or augmentation
2. External - cosmetic surgeries and therapies
C. Argument between one or both, and justification of each

IV. Conclusion - finding a balance and determining what is right for you, your body and your health.

It is my intention to outline my research project be utilizing the arguments and the objections/counterarguments as listed in RJA#9b. I may utilize a few photographs to emphasize the progression of age in a woman's life (nothing nude or anything like that). I feel that I need to be careful to keep my points and outline of the utmost interest because my audience (our class) is primarily of a younger age set - I would venture to say most are under 30 years old. The process of an aging woman is the least of their worries or their interest - not that that matters, but I would like to present something that is of some interest - even to a younger person, male or female.

I have a very rough outline formed - It begins very general and broad - outlining the aging of the human body briefly, defining the word, "aging", and then moving quickly into the specifics of the aging of a woman's body.
The changes, both physically and emotionally, breaking each area as follows:
Physical: Appearance and internal changes
Emotional: Personal impact and societal impact

From that general introduction and broad outline of the scope of my paper, I will dive into the "Remedies of the aging body".
My main research will be documenting as many naturally based methods a woman is able to utilize without/before resorting to unnatural, modern medicine/drugs and technology. This will include (primarily) eating whole food, natural diet, taking natural vitamins (what and when to take them), minerals and supplements for nutritional support, and a reasonable exercise program.

I will use the objections and counterarguments as an introduction to the internal and external uses and methods of modern medicine, unnatural food supplements, synthetic vitamins and minerals and the use technology (e.g., surgeries) to slow the appearance of aging, elimination of body part/mass, or augmentation when unnecessary. Additionally, I may spend some time on the risks involved in some of these methods to fight the aging process.

If I have time, I may spend some time on how the media and marketing virtually makes it impossible for a woman to naturally grow old gracefully, and with some dignity without resorting to a lot of unnecessary procedures being marketed today. One example I may use is the "Dove" commercial - the one where they use real women that have flaws, extra weight and gray hair!
