Is3350 Unit 2 Assignment
Introductions: All three of my subjects are females that I have known for at least 5 years. Two of the subjects (1 and 2) are mother and daughter. The mother and daughter were asked in a group setting with 11 questions I had a lot of questions because I wasn’t sure of what my younger subject would be able to answer. Everybody was asked the same questions. Since I knew my subjects I just called and seen whether they would be willing to answer some questions.

Her biggest fear was that she would die and that her girls would be put in a home. Her biggest accomplishment was getting her older girl ready for a job. When ask why that was her biggest accomplishment she said that she wanted to make sure that they would know how to take care of each other. For the fact that every answer involved her daughters in some way. I am putting her in stage 7, middle adulthood with the crisis of generativity or stagnation. She is in the generativity part of the crisis, but I don’t think that she will be able to move on and be in the integrity part of stage 8 if the girls are still dependents of her. She could even go into despair if she knows that they aren’t self reliance. She will see it as if she
