This stage takes place between the ages of birth…

An individual is defined or made unique by an amalgamation of characteristics and qualities. This describes what personality is in a nutshell. Throughout the lifespan, human traits can be expressed either biologically or environmentally (nature vs. nurture). Thus, contextual situations can influence human development. Such circumstantial changes include "normative age-grade influences, normative history-graded influences, and nonnormative life events" (Santrock, 2013, p. 6). There are theories…

Childhood development begins from infancy to adolescent and follows a predictable, yet progressive…

Critical Examination of Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development Although Kohlberg’s theory of morality has been crucial in understanding human’s moral judgments, it makes certain assumptions that may compromise its credibility. The theory is divided into three main stages: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional morality. At the pre-conventional stage, children’s moral judgments are dictated by the rules and regulations handed down by the parents or school administration (Gale,…

In this chapter we learned about the role society plays in developing the people we become. Particularly, in the discussion of the development of self. Self is defined as our internalized view of how others perceive us. Basically, it is how we see ourselves “from the outside” or from another person’s perspective. Three of the most notable theories about the development of self are by well-known sociologists. Two were symbolic interactionist yet they had different theories on how one’s self is…
