Life in progressAs people enter the later years of life, they usually engage in a process called life review. This involves organizing one‚s memories and reflecting on the significant actions and developmental milestones that have shaped one‚s life. It is through the life review that people attempt to gain a final understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Choose an older adult for an in-depth, life review interview (must be at least 65). Ask the person the following questions:
1. Who were the most important people that contributed to your development, both as a child and as an adult? In what ways were they important to you?
2. What events or developmental milestones were particularly significant in your life? Why?
3. How has aging affected you physically? Psychologically? Socially?
4. How do you feel about your life? Has it been satisfactory? In what areas have you been most satisfied? Least satisfied?
5. How often do you think about your eventual death? What thoughts go through your mind when you think about death?
On the basis of the responses, summarize the person‚s perception of his or her life. Are the significant events and developmental milestones that shaped the person‚s life the same as those described in your textbook? How would you evaluate the person‚s attitude toward life?
Please be clear. You have had enough experience with paper sin my class by now that you MUST INCLUDE THEORY. if you do not, you will get half credit as a maximum score. I do not merely want the persons responses the the questions posed. I want a unified paper explaining their development and the theory that matches the application of their lives.
