If the problem persists today, gerontologists, among others, should be called to account, since they were instrumental in the formulation of many of the interventions. The problem has been approached generally in terms of adaptation to aging and adaptation to the environment. The ecological models currently used agree that happiness can be found at different states of equilibrium between the person and the environment and that the elderly arrive at this state of equilibrium through a special "docility” towards the environment; a "docility” which would be linked to aging. However, this docility would appear to be historically and socially contingent rather than being "natural”. It is thus important to explain the social production of old age and the docility which is tied to it.
