Developmental Psychology: Lifespan Development discusses both sides of sensitive social issues from prenatal care to euthanasia and the elderly to the legitimacy of the church. These issues affect all of us at one time or another be it being passed up for a job in favor of a senior citizen employee or deciding as a parent when too much civic engagement can be potentially harmful. Both sides of the pertinent issues will be discussed providing a more valid reader opinion on the subjects. The book does not attempt to influence the reader pertaining to subjects, yet is influential in its manner of providing a choice of which debate is right or wrong.
