With regard to your proposals, make sure your paper is about half of your psychosocial theory and half of your phenomenon. In other words, if you are using psychoanalytic theory to understand gender, then you will want to make half of your paper about psychoanalysis and half about gender. This means that about half of your scholarly sources MUST be about your phenomenon – do not have all your sources be about your theory. This will require you to do literature searches in the field in order to see what researchers have to say about that particular phenomenon of lifespan.
I recommend have a one sentence thesis statement in your opening paragraph. You will state what your theory is and what phenomenon you are studying. For example, you could say “I am using cognitive theory to look at the way attachment develops during the lifespan.” The rest of your paper is basically just argumentation and citations aimed at supporting this simple statement.
You absolutely MUST upload a PDF file for your final paper. I can tell if the file is not PDF because it is distorted. I will count off if you do not do this.
