For this last forum you are asked to write a personal reflective essay on aging and the final stages of the human life cycle. The two main chapters from the Course Reader to be covered are Chapter 32, (Gail Sheehy on the theory of the second adulthood) and Chapter 34 (Sogyal Rimpoche from the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying). Each of you is asked to write a Personal Reflective Essay which discusses aging and the possibilities of the final stages of the human life cycle, using at least two specific citations with page number from each of the above two chapters in the Reader. What have you learned from this course that will be valuable for you in making your own life decisions as you move through the stages of your own adult life?
You are in addition required to include at least two good sentences, and one citation with page number, from Chapter 33, selections from Palden Gyatso’s The Autobiography of A Tibetan Monk. In the previous Units of this course, the other case studies in self-realization that have been proposed include Wangari Maathai, Martin Luther King, Tim DeChristopher, Abraham Lincoln, Vandana Shiva, Linus Pauling, Hawa Abdi (Somalia). Would you agree that Palden Gyatso is another exemplar of self-realization (or self-actualization, in Maslow’s term for it)?
This essay might well be a summing up of what you have learned in the course in relation to the adult phase of the human life cycle, or to the human life seen as a whole. You do not need to comment on the essays of others for this final forum, but you can if you want to.
All essays should be titled “Personal Reflective Essay,” followed by your name.
