Julie and Kristy,
I chose to review the psychosocial section of the late adolescence age group.
I found the bulleted statements easy to intake. The three sections are clearly labeled. I appreciated the strength of the in-text citations and the quality of the writing in the statements. Sometimes the thought seemed disjointed, however.
The most interesting topic for me was the transition period from high to school to college and that the risks of psychosocial struggles here are high. I felt that this could have been expanded into many more directions of thought.
Another strong point was the fact that cortisol levels present in women differently than in men. This is an important idea in many stages and considerations. This is related to stress and emotional responses as well as physical manifestations.
Disordered eating seemed to be a large focus of this blog. While an important consideration, I'm not sure there aren't other conditions just as worrisome to this age group. However, this was a nice segue into the next unit.
I also expected to find something related to the choice of major or career here and the pressures of social norms on these decisions. I also noticed that many of the presented topics were of negative connotation. While there are negative things here, surely, it seems that there should also be partnered strengths of women in this age group.
The images and videos were a bit uninviting, and I found myself skipping over them to get to the rest of the text instead of feeling that they were integrated into the message. I do feel that the information was worthwhile, but perhaps some reorganization might have made it even stronger.
