Wk 8 Part 2 Interview Reflections

 Part 2 Reflection: After reviewing the 2 interviews, reflect on the similarities as well as the differences in the responses.  Relate the responses to what you have learned about development in late adulthood by supporting your writing with information from our readings or other appropriate sources.  Use at least 2 sources.  Your reflection should be a minimum of 350 words.  

the goal is to identify and analyze the changes occurring in middle and late adulthood with specific reference to retirement. This includes exploring aspects such as physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development, as well as examining lifespan relationships and considering cultural influences that may impact the retirement experience.
