Dear Student,

Hi and thank you for using BrainMass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular posting, you are asking for help in putting together 3 short problems. To start with, I am going to provide you 3 outlines you can use for each and some exemplification to help you begin with all three. What is important is for you to structure your ideas, introduce concepts from your current course materials and display comprehension when you answer the questions. I suggest the following outlines and approaches:

1. On early adulthood - introduction
2. Choosing a career - what is it about, why is it important?
3. The Christian perspective

1. On middle adulthood - introduction
2. Empty nest stage - what is this about?
3. Impact on marriage & role of faith

1. Human Services Professional - what are they?
2. 3 prominent characteristics
3. Personal reflection & scripture references

As you can see, I have broken down each of the tasks you are supposed to do into 3 outlines. If you follow this outline you will be able to complete your assignment. Remember, this is self-reflective. Additionally, you are being asked to provide a Christian perspective, hence you will have to apply your own Christian views to the topic. Good luck with your studies.

Sincerely,
