How would you define civic engagement/ responsibility? (Please for this question, do not look anything up online. Use your own words and if you really don't know, please just say that. It is more than okay. No points will be deducted for that.)
What has been your history of service or civic involvement as a child, teenager, young adult, or adult? If you have not participated in service, describe some examples of services of which you were/ are aware.
Did you participate with your family in any regular service projects? If so, what are they? What were your feelings about participating in service at that time?
Were you involved in service with any other organizations, such as church, synagogue, temple, mosque, youth league, Boys and Girls Club, Girl Scouts or Boy Scots, or elementary school? If so, how?
Regarding questions 1,2, and/or 3- in what ways did these service opportunities connect to the topic of developmental psychology/ life span development?
If you were involved at an early age, do you think it affected the service you do today? Did it affect your desire to serve? Positively or negatively? How it affected you in general? Has it shaped you in any way?
What led you over the years to be involved in community service/ civic involvement or not? What factors contributed?
Thinking currently, what are the communities you belong to? (It does not have to just be your neighborhood). What are the needs of those communities or just select one?
How has service/organizational inititatives in the community affected you, your family, or someone you know if it has?
