In this chapter we learned about how we develop from the moment of conception to death.  We learned about physical development, cognitive development, psycho-social and emotional development, and moral development.  For this discussion, you need to put all of that knowledge to use.

1.)  Think of a person you know of any age, from infant to the elderly, to whom you have easy access and is willing to interact with you.  Try to obtain as much information about that person in as many developmental domains as you can through observing them and interviewing them as appropriate.
