Many students cannot see the connection between the study of liflespan psychology and everyday life. Students often ask, “Why do I have to take this lifespan developmental psychology course? How will it benefit me?”

For this assignment, I want you to find an article in a major newspaper or popular magazine that discusses a developmental psychological topic. Look to your lecture notes for some topic ideas.

When you post your response, tell us the name of the article, the name of newspaper/magazine that you collected it from, the author’s name, and the date it was written.

Then, tell us the psychological topic, define the topic, briefly summarize the topic, and tell us how this topic is important to our everyday lives.

Please choose reputable newspaper and magazines. No tabloid publications!

Check class calendar for assignment deadline!

Please use correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. Remember to put separate thoughts into separate paragraphs. I will be looking for collegiate quality work.
