Discussion Information What Is Your Stance on the Three Basic Issues of Human Development? Throughout this weekʼs readings, as well as in all weeks of this course, multiple developmental theories will be reviewed and explored. Freud, Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, Bronfenbrenner- Where to start? At the beginning of course! This discussion will help you to better understand the three basic issues of human development, and to express your viewpoints on some of the controversies in the field of developmental science. Discussion Topics/Question Consider the following four pairs of statements related to basic issues of human development. Then select the statement in each pair that most closely reflects your own view: PAIR ONE - Choose one ● (1A) Development is a continuous, gradual progression, with new abilities, skills, and knowledge gradually added at a relatively uniform pace. ● (1B) Development occurs at different rates, alternating between periods of little change and periods of abrupt, rapid change. PAIR TWO - Choose one ● (2A) All humans follow the same general sequence of development. ● (2B) Each individual has a unique course of development. PAIR THREE - Choose one ● (3A) Children respond to the world in much the same way as adults. The main difference is that childrenʼs thinking is less sophisticated and complex than adultsʼ. ● (3B) Children have unique ways of thinking about and responding to the world that are very different from those of adults. PAIR FOUR - Choose one ● (4A) An individualʼs personality is mostly determined by heredity. ● (4B) An individualʼs personality can be modified through care-giving experiences. Additional Discussion Directions On the basis of the selections you made above, address all of the following in your initial post: ● Which statements did you select? ● As discussed in this weekʼs readings, which theories take a stance similar to ● ● yours? If you had to choose a theory that best represents your view of development, would you choose a single theory? How does culture factor into your understanding of human development? ○ If so, which one and why? ○ If you would select certain components of multiple theories, which components would you select and why? ○ Remember to include a minimum of 3 inline citations from the assigned material and at least one new scholarly source, as well as references, in each initial post; all citations and references must be formatted in accordance with the most recent version of the APA Publication Manual.
