society and the nature of work has changed. many retired older people play an active part in their community and may continue to work in a part time job. most people work in clean and safe environments so when they retire they aren't worn out. this theory denies that individuals have a choice, although not every older person wants to sit in a watch tv all day every day.

this theory devalues individuals, for example if someone started a job on a monday and then retired on the following Wednesday, they will still have the same skills.

b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z.

Which is correct 80s or 80's?

"80s" is correct. The apostrophe is not needed and adding it is a common mistake. The confusion seems to arise from the use of the numeral 80. If one considers that "80s" is spelled "eighties", it is clear that no contraction or possessive is involved, hence no apostrophe is required. However, in the case where a possessive is actually required - for example, if one means to say something like "I like the version of U2 from the 80s." - the apostrophe would come after the "s" (not before), as in, "I like the 80s' version of U2."
