Human development is an intriguing as well as complex process that compiles what happens genetically as well as what one experiences through the aging process. Biological, cognitive, and psychosocial perspectives are each vital to our development, and each are specialized towards our individual personalities. University of Utah(2016) states that some traits are genetic and passed down from our parents, and others through experience and learning. In this essay, we will be looking at how biological, cognitive, and psychosocial perspectives have shaped my development from birth up till now.
Biological perspective is how one is genetically influenced by our parents. This determines what physical or personality traits we inherit from our parents. …show more content…
The pioneer of this process, Jean Piaget, developed four stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor stage, pre-operational stage, concrete operational stage, and formal operations stage. These stages span from birth to sixteen years of age. These stages determine what we gradually come to know as we age, and at what ages we typically acquire certain abilities in. This theory breaks down our world view of what we understood and deal with situations through what Piaget calls a “schema” (Huitt, W., & Hummel, J. …show more content…

I want to live life being honest with myself and with others. I try to listen to what other people say and have genuine conversations about what matters. The flaw in social behavior is fear of offending or hurting the people around them, and that leads to surface-level socialization. Basically, a lot of talking that means very
