Salon.com - The United States is the greatest economic power in history, yet our quality of life is declining. Why?

: "One might think that the United States, home of the world's biggest tech companies and the country where the internet originated, might be unchallenged in internet connectivity. Figures say otherwise: The U.S. ranks 27th in global internet connectivity. Part of the reason might be cost: Within the OECD, a group of mostly rich industrialized countries, the U.S. has the second most expensive internet service for customers.

This story of high prices and poor outcomes is true almost across the board for vital services, and there is none more vital than health care. The U.S. spends 17.8 percent of GDP on health care, nearly twice as much as the average OECD country. Health spending per person in America is almost twice as high as in the next most expensive country, Germany, and four times higher than in South Korea.

Does that high cost lead to better health? It does not. Probably the best proxy for the adequacy of health care is longevity; according to the UN, the U.S. ranks No. 70 out of 227 sovereign or semi-sovereign state entities. That's below most European NATO members, South Korea, Japan and Israel, just to name three countries the U.S. has pledged to defend militarily, at potentially huge expense. It's also below China."

But one thing that made the arbitrary nature of this finally come to life was looking at the fact that "adulthood" hasn't been defined the same way since — who defined the "genital stage" as puberty until death. Piaget didn't bother past formal operational. That's a hell of a range! Joan and Erik Erikson tapped out around 65.. until they lived into their 90's.

I've taught for about seven years, but as I'm usually in the clinical practice department this is my first time teaching the human behavior track. As I get ready to finish the semester I'm thinking a lot about the arbitrary and sometimes destructive natures of most developmental frameworks. As we head into the late adulthood literature, some thoughts. 🧵

As always, I have another question. I'm also creating a new Human Development and Aging class for undergrads. I'm looking at possible textbooks and materials, but I would like to ask the community, what books have you used to teach a class related to this topic? Any online resources? Recommendations? @cogsci
