Paper presents an autobiography (review) of your life at the age of 80 in terms of physical, cognitive, and social-emotional developments that have occurred throughout your life and have had some effect on your life in general. That is, you will address and describe how you faced and fared each of Erikson's 8 stages. Some may focus on physical developments, some on cognitive, some on social (for example, you might talk about how because you were a late language learner -e.g., talker, you had trouble with stage two autonomy vs. shame and doubt, etc).

Paper will have a cause-effect feel to it. Earlier events will be described in terms of their influence and effect on later developments, decisions, etc. In other words, keep the thread going of life events so that later events refer back to/reference/include earlier life events, hurdles, accomplishments, etc. For example, here is where you may discuss how stage one trust v. mistrust was accomplished easily in infancy but was tested during adolescence in romantic relationships. This should occur often throughout the paper.
