Disability in very late adulthood

Your paper could be on the experience of disability in very late adulthood or (c) grief in adolescence. Once you have selected a combination that interests you, you will locate a theory that can help you understand the phenomenon you are describing and/or help you understand how to support those who it affects. You will then thoroughly describe this theory and thoughtfully apply it to the phenomenon. The paper will include the following sections: 1. Introduction (3 points): a brief description of what you will argue in your paper and how this argument will be organized (a clear plan or “roadmap” for the paper); 2. Description of Phenomenon (10 points): a description of the phenomenon you are interested in exploring. Use at least four empirical references in this section and address the following questions (when applicable) in your description: 1. How common is this phenomenon? 2. How is it different in this life stage than in other life stages? 3. Who is most at risk of experiencing this phenomenon (when applicable)? 4. How does the social environment contribute to this phenomenon? 3. Description and Application of Theory (10 points): a description of a theory that can help you understand or treat this phenomenon and the application of this theory. Use at least four references in this section and address the following questions (when applicable) in your description/application: 1. How is this theory described? 2. Who established this theory? When? Why? 3. How do people use it or do you use it to understand this phenomenon? 4. How can this theory help us intervene and support those experiencing this phenomenon? 4. Conclusion (2 points): a short wrap-up and summary of the most important points made in your paper. Please include section headers in your paper and be mindful of the fact you will also be graded on writing, editing and APA formatting (5 points).
