Aging & Systems in the Larger Environment Research Paper

For this scholarly paper, you will examine course material and research you conduct about age, development and systems, then compare and contrast that to the life of an actual older adult you interview. The interviewee will be someone aged 70 or older and is well enough cognitively and emotionally to participate. You will address how the interviewees experiences can be understood using a macro theory from course material and also how his or her experiences relate to developmental concepts associated with late adulthood. The interviewee may be a relative, a neighbor, a friend, a co-worker, co-workers parent, a member of the community. You can also choose to visit someone at a local senior center, retirement community, or assisted-living facility (not a nursing home).

Using reminiscence as a tool, examine the following:

What is daily life like for the person? Provide brief overview of an average day. Focus on developmental strengths and challenges.
What did the person discuss about their identity and what is meaningful for them?
How do these findings compare to normative patterns?
Using a macro systems lens, examine how changes in history, policy and/or social institutions played a role in and impacted the person\’s life course. Cover the following:
Central tenets of the theory or concepts
Strengths and limitation of the theory/concept
How the theory assists in understanding how the person has been impacted by the larger system of a change in history, policy and/or social institution
This is an academically focused, 6-8 page research paper (excludes title and reference pages). You must use a minimum of seven, scholarly, peer-reviewed sources. No more than two of which may be an internet source and two likely will be your text books for the course. You must have at least two high quality references and citations regarding normative developmental patterns, and at least two regarding your chosen macro theory.

Nanotechnology

Problem Civilization evolved from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the silicon age and starting the Nano Age. The Nano Age is a promising new age where different scientific disciplines will contribute together to realize high performance materials. Eric Drexler introduced nanotechnology in 1986 : a technology at molecular level that can let us set every atom where we want it to be. We called this ability Nanotechnology.

In almost three weeks from now, the first international NanoCar race will take place in Toulouse, France [1]. This denotes the serious efforts that humanity is investing in this scientific field and reflects a futuristic vision where Nanotechnology would shape our world.

In this research, you must write a maximum 1-page paper where you talk about the Nanomaterial Applications mainly in fuel cell technology, fiber reinforcement, solar cells and more. Then, discuss the economical, safety and environmental factors related to this technology.

Part 2: Rationale

In a 250-500 rationale, summarize how each dialogue is effective and developmentally appropriate for teaching phonics, word recognition, and spelling. Be sure to explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
