CASE STUDY ANALYSIS: ADULTHOOD

OVERVIEW

How can a person live a happy life? How can we better cope with stresses in our lives and become more resilient? Development does not stop once you reach adulthood. We continue to change and grow because life does not stay static. In early adulthood, most people focus on developing friendships and partnerships as well as developing a work-life. In middle adulthood, people are affected by a wide variety of events. Becoming a parent, switching careers, taking care of aging parents, dealing with a chronic illness, or having financial issues, just to name a few. For this assignment, you will apply the concepts you’ve learned in order to complete an analysis of a case study that deals with one of the following stages of lifespan development: middle adulthood or later adulthood.
