The focus of the final project for our class is to answer the question “How has developmental psychology impacted my life?” You will do this with as much depth and detail as possible. After reviewing your textbook, class notes, discussions and videos, include in your project any applications of developmental terms/concepts as they apply to your own growth and development. Your goal is to explore your past and current environments and their influence on who you are today while demonstrating an understanding of terms, concepts, and theories covered in this course.INSTRUCTIONSReflect upon your learning of developmental psychology in this course and how it relates to your own life.Create a stand-alone, self-explanatory presentation (PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi, PDF, or your choice...) that depicts a minimum of 10 applications/illustrations of developmental theories or concepts (4 points each). You must choose at least 2 physical, 2 cognitive, and 2 psychosocial concepts. The remaining 4 concepts can come from any developmental domain. For each chosen theory or concept, including some form of graphic representation and then describe how it has influenced or manifested in your personal growth and development.Share your project on the discussion page as an attachment or web link. Be sure that you have modified any relevant settings so that everyone has permission to view your work. Test it from another device and make sure you can access your presentation.In keeping with our course commitment to active learning, critical thinking, and gender/cultural diversity, I strongly encourage creativity and independent thinking on this project. Don’t be afraid to try something new and unusual. Possible suggestions include song lyrics, pictures, letters, television or movie clips, toys, poems, artwork, cartoons, etc. Remember: Have fun and be creative!

Part of what we will try to establish in this course are connections that tie events that are often centuries and continents apart. Think of it as big picture over time. I would like you to reflect upon the possible connections that would tie the rise of Genghis (Chinggis) Khan to the era of intense spiritual and intellectual upheaval and questioning that preceded what came to be known as the Protestant Reformation over two centuries later in Europe. The Mongol expansion sparked a series of events that might provide us with at least one piece of the puzzle to explain what led society to question everything it had more or less quietly accepted before. (I stress, this is a possible explanation of some of the many factors). Very specifically, I am asking you to consider disease as the particular engine of change here.In essence I am asking you to follow the domino pieces. Some of the domino pieces include the Mongol conquests, Mongol Empire, Trade, Plague, Depletion of Monastic Orders, Expanded Charity Requirements.... Making the correct connection and linkages and expressing them well is crucial. I am asking to follow on particular argument though focused mostly on disease, so although there are many other interesting factors (knowledge transfers and the like) please focus on disease. In other words try to provide a fleshed out narrative that could explain the connections between these seemingly unconnected events (fleshed out refers to the need to provide some level of detail on each event and a clear explanation of the connections – please be sure to establish a timeline and to provide dates.) Notice that there is already an argument inherent to this prompt. You do not need to create and original argument. Part of the exercise here is to see how well you can succinctly express this argument in your thesis statement.Instructions:To answer this question you will want to use the Power Points, the “Three Days in October 1630” article and the text. Please be sure to cite. DO NOT use arguments from outside sources. I expect this to be typed, proofed, edited and polished. Double space, use 12 size font and employ regular margins (1 inch). You should be able to answer this in no more than 4 pages (5 if quality of writing is excellent.) Generally then between 3 and 5 pages.There are a few issues I would like to elaborate on in order to dispel any possible confusionAssignment II - Elaboration1- This particular assignment is not about the Protestant Reformation itself – that topic we will be covering later on in the semester – but about some of the many possible precursors to the Reformation.2-When you are asked to look at possible connections between the rise of Genghis Khan and the Reformation, I am not asking for a direct personal connection!! The Mongol unification gave rise to a certain set of events. Those then set other events off, which in turn set off yet others until we finally have the events that I have referred to as possible precursors to the Reformation (Those things that caused people to question the church and so on and so forth.) That is what I am asking you to discuss and explain. The events leading to the preconditions for a movement of intellectual and social revolt (so to speak.) 3-The article we read should be useful since if you draw the right information from it you can describe the effects of the plague and how it affected society, to support the argument that this was a time of chaos and fear and so on a so forth...Be sure to review the lecture notes carefully and to use the text book when appropriate.4-Please use Chicago Manual of Style referencing style – simple guides readily available online. You may also want to use our library resources: http://libguides.fiu.edu/citationWARNING: Let me also take this opportunity to point out, in the strongest termspossible, that plagiarism will result in severe penalties in this class. Let me be very clear, between the turn-it-in filters and our experience detecting tone shifts in a paper, your chances of successfully passing off a plagiarized paper are slim.

Write a paper of 750 words, in which you evaluate your opinions and beliefs regarding older adults and address the following:   Describe stereotypes about the elderly that are prevalent in society, and how those stereotypes affect your personal beliefs concerning the elderly.   Describe the physical and cognitive issues involved in aging.   Discuss the mental health treatment issues involved in working with the aging client. Include end-of-life considerations in your discussion. Include at least two scholarly references in addition to (Rathus, Nevid, & Fitchner-Rathus, 2014) Rathus, S., Nevid, J., & Fitchner-Rathus, L. (2014). Human Sexuality in a World of Diversity. New York: Pearson.
