CSUSM Cantankerous & Old Woody Grant Hardly Stroll Down the Street Discussion

Watch the movie Nebraska (2013). Reflect on the theories presented in the readings and the lecture about middle adulthood and old age. Which theory or perspective do you think best explains the dynamics you see in the film? Discuss how you see the relationship between father and son, as well as the larger family dynamics, shaping the way they experience their different life stages. How do these separate developmental processes mutually influence each other? How does the family dynamic shape how old age and the anticipation of end of life are experienced? Answer these questions in your content response. Don’t forget to follow the same guidelines we have been working with all semester- make sure you have a thesis, an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.
