For this piece of work, Choose a real-world issue covered in the course (i.e., relating to developmental psychology or social psychology or individual differences) and write a magazine-style article that reviews psychological research on the issue for a lay audience.

You should target your article at a young adult or teenage audience.

Young adults may be interested in issues relating to parenting and baby/child development, long-term relationships, and personal growth.

Teenagers might be interested in issues relating to the physical changes of puberty, peer groups, attitudes, social conformity, self-identity and managing emotions.

Imagine yourself writing for your younger self (what do you really wish you had known years ago that you’ve since learned from your study of psychology?) or for a family member or friend who lacks a psychology background (what information and advice do you think would be helpful to them?).

You want to make your article interesting, informative and easily digestible.
