Your 7-8-page, double-spaced, paper (excluding Title Page and References), will make use of at least six scholarly sources (NO REVIEW PAPERS), and will include:

Introduction – An introduction to the topic and overview of the paper. First, state/describe the general topic and how it fits into the discipline of Lifespan Development (1 paragraph).

What else would you need to find out to be able to answer your question?.
