“Exploring the Impact of Health Challenges on Personal Development: A Life Course Perspective”

Interview Paper:
For this assignment, you are asked to interview a person of your choice. You may choose any person 
who agrees to be interviewed, provided that, if you work in healthcare, you do not interview one of 
your patients.
In Part 1: Ask your interviewee (identified in your paper only as “X”) to describe a health 
challenge he or she has faced, the stage of life in which the challenge occurred (if 
acute/short-term) or began (if chronic/long-term), and how that experience shaped his or her 
personal development. What is X’s current life course stage? How (if at all) has X’s perspective on 
his or her experience evolved over time? Did the health challenge have lasting effects (whether 
positive or negative) on X’s life course?
Maintain your interviewee’s confidentiality: 1) refer to your interviewee as “X,” do not reveal his 
or her name. 2) Especially if the information can be used to identify the person (for example, “X 
is my sister” or “X is my nurse manager”), do not reveal X’s relationship to you. 3) Do not include 
specific details that could be used to identify X (for example, “X works at Carney Hospital” or “X 
lives in Lower Mills.”)
In Part 2: Describe the “normal” patterns of growth and development for the life course stage in 
which “X”’s health challenge emerged. Tying developmental theory to “X”’s experience, identify the 
potential hazards to optimal health during this stage and address appropriate strategies for health 
promotion. Your response should include and integrate course content (referenced from the Berger 
text and/or other sources). The paper should be limited to 4-5 double-spaced pages and written in 
accordance with APA format. This is a research paper; inclusion and proper citation of references is required.
Don’t use CHATGPT OR ANY AL
I already made the paper so check it for me please
here’s what the teacher told me: 
“Under the circumstances, you have the opportunity, if you choose, to rewrite your paper and submit it, no later than Thursday at 11:59 p.m., for full credit. Please rewrite your paper from scratch; do not revise what you already submitted.
Stay clear, entirely, of generative AI tools like ChatGPT. You didn’t cite an AI tool in your last attempt; I assume you didn’t use one, and that’s good.
Conduct an interview with X, if you haven’t already. Report on specifics of X’s experiences, as X reported them to you.
Incorporate theories and concepts you’ve studied in class. Include specific citations, sentence-by-sentence, for each and every theory, concept, fact, or other unoriginal idea included in your paper. Remember to enclose any quoted words within quotation marks. Also include a reference list of the sources cited in the body of your text. I do check sources; please keep that in mind as you (re)write and cite.
Good luck on your rewrite. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
