Select a current issue in the field of Life-Span Development, then submit a proposal for your final analysis paper. It needs to be at least one paragraph in length. The proposal must include the name of your topic as well (you dont have to have a specific title, but you need a brief name/subject). You can choose an issue/topic that affects you personally or an issue/topic that interests you. Remember it needs to relate back to psychology, so try to avoid argumentative style papers; you want to focus on the developmental factors and then the other secondary factors that go into your topic.

While you are choosing a topic, be sure to take a look over different journal articles/publications that you can possibly use. You will want to make sure there is adequate research to back up what you wish to write on, as you will have to have at least 4 scholarly sources for the final paper.
