Throughout my courses in Communication, I have seen many varied target
audiences. Has anyone taken a course in communication involving elderly or
senior audiences? I just think it is interesting, and would perhaps shed a
little light on the sensitive topic of how Americans tend to disregard their
elders. Please note that I said "tend."

Much like different cultures and genders communicate differently, it is
fairly obvious that different age groups communicate differently. It is
particularly interesting to me to talk to "The Greatest Generation" but
sometimes I feel that I can't convey the meaning as accurately as I can when
talking to different generations. Just curious if anyone has taken a course
like this.
