Produce a report to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of different theorist of development. This report should identify how these theorists have influenced current practice.

Some of the psychological effects are paranoia, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Some physical effects are rapid heartbeat, sleepiness, HIV, hepatitis from sharing needles, and respiratory problems. “Once you get started, it can be very hard to stop”. (Calabria et al., 2010, as cited in Cooner & Mitterer, 2016, p. 181). For example, I know someone that decided to try marijuana for the first time. What he did not know was the person had put cocaine in with it. After trying it that first time he did eventually become addicted to drugs and he even started doing heroin. Drugs affect three parts of the brain the cortex, limbic system, and the brain stem. Drug addiction affects the way the brain communicate and the way neurons send, receive, and process information. “Addictive drugs increase dopamine activity.” (Boyd, Harris, & Knight, 2012, as cited in Cooner & Mitterer, 2016, p.

Intimacy versus isolation is stage six in Erik Ericksons eight stages of human development. This stage takes place from approximately 19-40 years of age (Orlofsky, Marcia, & Lesser, 1973). The big question that people face in this stage is will I be loved or will I be alone. During this stage people start to develop more long term relationships. Friendship, dating, marriage and family play a big role in the happiness of this stage. This is when we leave the people that we grew up with and start our own lives. By establishing

Before we get too involved in the midst of this paper however, it should first be made clear what is meant by the term “disability.” According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health from the World Health Organization (WHO) the medical and social

North America, Europe, and Oceania have a majority of their countries in the highest category of human development. The lowest category can be found in Africa. The 0.500 to 0.949 categories can be found in Asia, and South America.

If a country does not advance or develop at all then they will be left in the dust. Other countries will be in order and way more advanced. For example in ancient India and china they advanced in many different areas such as medicine, communication, mathematics, farming, and they also develop very fast. Ancient china was separated form everyone else do to huge mountains that no one really wanted to go through. So, they only knew what they were doing and were not distracted.

Many human development specialists have examined memory loss of adults later in life. During the past fifty years, there have been many studies in children’s cognitive development and earlier childhood memory loss. Ernest G. Schachtel conducted studies on why people forget childhood memories as they grow older. He described the processes that could be involved in early memory loss (Crain, 2005). He was influenced by Sigmund Freud’s cognitive theory (Crain, 2005). Lev S. Vygotsky, however, described children’s early memory development as a holistic process that involved society, physiological, cultural, and economical environments. (Vygotsky,

There are three foundations of human development. The foundations are the biological development, psychological development, and social development. The concept of human diversity and cultural competences demonstrates how different people can be. General systems theory and social order are connected in some way.

Each other country is running in a rat race to make its ration one of the most developed country in the world. China, Japan and Korea are seen to lead the other nations in Asia, where as England the united study and other European countries are leading the headline of the world’s most developed countries. At the meantime, some countries in South-East Asia, apart from Singapore and Malaysia, appear for less developed such as Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. The uneven development exist between nations are mainly believed

Human growth is a fact of life we all experience it whether we want to or not. It is what we are expected to do. There are many theories that are associated with human growth and development but one thing that remains true throughout is that all humans go through stages of development from birth to death. We all experience change in our life times. These changes help to shape us as human beings and hopefully as well adjusted human beings. Everything from our environment to our learning styles to our interactions with others can be described as human development and growth. Our interactions with scripture and how we interpret it is also part of our development.

The Human Development Index (HDI) does a pronounced disservice to India. India, a country that, through economic miracles and perseverance, has risen from the ranks of the poorest in the world to a middle-income country in the span of only a few decades. The HDI Report, which is not universally applicable and applies too much weight in certain areas, makes certain countries look better than they should or, in India’s case, artificially lower its ranking among the world. So, although skewed, what does the HDI say about India’s level of development, recent growth, and outlook for future decades?

Originally, the proverb “what gets measured gets managed” is applied to the business field. However, in this essay, the writer tries to explain this principle in the social development level. At first, this essay argue the reason why we need to measure the level of development, it is because producing measurements about an activity gives you a handle on it, a way to improve it. This paper goes on to critically examine the varied ways to measure development. A ‘developed country’ is one with a high Gross National Income (GNI) per capita, as defined by the World Bank. But this does not tell the whole story, country 's level of development is not a fixed state. In addition to the factors of economic growth, human and social development also playing an important role. In the end, the advantage and disadvantage of these methods are summarized, some points need to be studied more are also given.

According to Anderson (2014), Human Development Index (HDI) is the most efficient single matrix for the welfare and progress of an economy. The approach measures the country’s value and well-being in three dimensions namely, education/knowledge, life expectancy (healthy and long life), and a decent living standard (determined by the GDP per capita). Apparently, the first two elements of Human Development Index (education and health) focuses on precise societal goals, but the gross domestic product variables remain a significance proxy for national well-being. The method has been in use by most of the agencies like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) since 1990 for their human development report (Anderson, 2014). Again, HDI is used by the European Nations to compare different nations and regions.

Every country in the world desires to have their name listed as the most developed countries in the world. For one country it may be easy to develop, whereas one might struggle for development. Thus, development is not an easy thing to achieve. Factors such as production levels, inequality and corruption contribute to the country’s human development index. Gender inequality is one of the factors that may lower a country’s human development index, because the inequality creates implications on the development for a country. This essay will contrast and evaluate the ranks of gender inequality index (GII) and human development index (HDI) between the two countries: Brazil and Turkey. Overall, this paper argues in terms of gender equity, the European country, Turkey, is developed when comparing to Brazil - Latin American country.
