There are four basic assumptions of Lifespan Perspective. These assumptions state that development is: lifelong, multidimensional and multi-directional, highly plastic, and affected by multiple, interacting forces. First, development is lifelong, meaning that there is no certain period in a person’s life that is more influential than another. changes in development happen throughout life and occur in three ways: physical, cognitive, and emotional/social. Development is also multidimensional and multi-directional.…
According to the Erikson, generativity is something when adults care about their upcoming generation by accomplishing things that make world better place for them. However, stagnation when the adults deny that they have not done or accomplished any things for their upcoming generation.

On the other hand, despair and isolation could be experienced by young adults who have failed at a young age to meet the demands of the world.

As mid-lifers confront mortality, they realize their potential for growth. The actualization process has previously been seen as a very individualistic goal, but, there is no reason that is has to be. Everingham (2003), believes that people can share their moral content in an inconclusive way and make their goals communal rather than strictly personal. Acting as a team rather than just as one person, can add a whole new horizon to self-actualization. We are not what we are supposed to be we are what we make ourselves.…
I have received your letter and am pleased that you have given my works so much thought. However, I feel as though you might have missed the mark on a few things. I would like to just take a moment to explain myself and possibly enlighten you with the correct meaning of my argument. In your letter you state that my book is indicating that humans should go back to a stage of nascency but I rather believe that it is not only impossible to regress to that stage but rather that humans should have stopped progression when societies emerged. You also express the idea that I claim that it is because of thinkers and philosophers that our world is in a state of pandemonium.…
Introduction The family as a primary source of social support is very important in promoting active and healthy aging. Increased life expectancy may create multigenerational kinship networks to provide family continuity and emotional support when needed. These multigenerational families are characterized by cross-generational reciprocity and interdependence – grandparents and grandchildren sharing over three decades of life and bond (Hooyman & Kiyak, p.345). Grandparenting is an evolving role affected by social changes such as “women in labour force, distance, divorce, remarriage, reconstituted families and international adoption that have seriously altered the classic family structure and the challenges of grandparenting” (NACA, 2005. p1).…
Erik Erikson studied children practices for numerous years until finally realizing that children and adults develop throughout the years through eight stages called the developmental crisis (Pastorino & Doyle-Portillo 378). He noticed that in many cultures, humans progressed in a similar manner where in each stage, their environment and their reactions to the atmosphere created a variety of personality characteristics. Depending on how they responded, the trait could either be healthy or unhealthy to their social life. In my psychology class, we took a quiz to evaluate what trait we most likely possess in each stage. By adding up the points on a scale, we were able to understand why we act in certain ways according to Erickson’s psychosocial…
Generativity can be expressed in so many ways. There are four areas in which generativity is expressed: biological, parental, work, and cultural. Biological generativity is when a child is conceived and will give back to the society and the community. Thus, they will be helping future generations. Parental generativity is when parents provide the care and the support the child needs.…
Having how structural barriers in the emerging adulthood stage can impact an individual’s late adulthood stage. Because of certain life changing opportunities missed. Older Adulthood usually know what they want in life while emerging adults are at that in between stage in their life. I expected an adult in their late adulthood stage to have different views on love, parenting and education than an emerging adult. I thought the large age gap, would play a big factor in how both adult view the world, instead the views are somewhat similar.…
