What is an example of the life course perspective? 1. Billy ate two donuts at the age of 79 and experienced a heart attack. Everyone thought he would live to at least the age of 84, they were wrong. 2. For the past five years, Billy has gone through many life transitions and has gotten a divorce and then remarried.Also this year Billy’s son will have a child and he will become a grandpa. Billy wanted to be a supportive grandparent, just like his grandparents were to him when he was younger. He attributes his grandparents’ support to his strength in dealing with all he has gone through in the past five years. 3. Billy’s grandma lived to the ripe age of 100, Billy expects to live to around 100 as well. 4. When he was young Billy saw his parents go though a terrible divorce because his father worked too many hours at the box factory.Now at the age of 38 Billy is going through a similar experience, and attributes the divorce to his working such long hours. 5. 2 and 4 are both correct
