Views Towards Aging

I am asking for your voluntary participation in my science fair project. The purpose of this research is to determine and compare the trends of the attitudes towards aging from the past 5 decades, and compare them to the current trends. This survey will remain anonymous, so no one, including myself, will know your responses to the questions.
