Human growth and development

STEP 1: Find a person above the age of 40- 65 to interview. They may be related to you. Keep their information confidential by using pseudonyms (fake name). Include a short introduction detailing their gender, approximate age, occupational status, and cultural background. Add three of your own original questions.

  1. Please tell me about your childhood, family and school life.
  2. Do you consider yourself old? At what age did you notice that you were getting older?
  3. What is the most important historical event or period of time that you have lived through? How did it influence you personally?
  4. What is the biggest change you have seen in how people conduct their everyday lives?
  5. What have been the best years of your life so far? What are your plans for the future?
  6. How are young people today different from when you were their age?
  7. Have you ever experienced any negative attitudes or discrimination because of your age?
    STEP 2: Write a post between 250 and 500 words discussing what you’ve learned from your interview. Were there any answers that surprised you? How do the responses in the interview tie in with or confirm the things you learned about in this module? How do this person’s experiences and attitudes tie in with Erikson’s psychosocial stages? Has this changed your opinion on aging? What are your own personal perceptions of aging?
    STEP 3: Post the interview and responses to the journal assignment.
