Across the world, there has been a push for those within the middle-classes to seek out places that are distinct from urbanity in regional, rural and coastal townships. Defined in the social sciences as ‘lifestyle and amenity migration’, this transnational and internal migratory phenomenon often involves a counter-urbanization trend.

2 Lifestyle and consumption When Stormzy walked out onto the Glastonbury stage in the summer’s evening of June 2019, he made several important political statements. On a basic level, Stormzy announced the commercial arrival of grime music at a festival that has usually headlined rock bands in its 50-year history. Being the first black British male to headline the world-famous Pyramid stage, however, could have indicated that the UK’s multicultural population was finally getting acceptance. Yet his attire suggested the opposite. Stormzy wore a stab vest

31 THREE my own life: ethics, ageing and lifestyle Joseph Dohmen Life is a battle. (Seneca) introduction In recent decades there has been a shift from what may be termed a politics of emancipation to a politics of life.

Introduction Can evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) facilitate a more widespread use of approaches in healthcare that support lifestyle changes? This exploratory question informed the
207 Falls, lifestyle monitoring and dementia care THIRTEEN Falls, lifestyle monitoring and dementia care Introduction One powerful reason for the use of social alarms is a concern about the consequences of falls experienced by older people. Indeed, as noted in Chapter One, the image of someone who had fallen and was unable to call for help became, as noted in Chapter Ten, an icon for social alarms and featured frequently in the advertising of both manufacturers and service providers.
