Maturity: As people grow and develop, maturation is different from either growth or development; this is used when development is assumed to be due to a genetically programmed sequence of change. For example, your experience of puberty can be explained as caused by an inbuilt genetic process which unfolds as you grow older. Puberty can be seen as maturation. Development: it is used to describe the changes that might be complex and involve a change in the character in some competency as well as that is measured in quantity (height or weight). Most social intellectual and emotional change across the lifespan are described as development.
Unit 4 Development Through the life stages. Task, D1, Jo-ann Walker. How Nature-Nurture may affect the Physical, intellectual, emotional and social development of two stages of an individual. Nature. Everything we inherit our genes physical characteristics, eye colour, hair.
Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors. The personal factors are a child’s genes which influence development and how the brain works. This influences a child’s personality, potential and health, which will then later be influenced by how they are raised and the environment in which they are raised. Below are four personal factors that could influence a childs development and some of the reasons why. ● Health Status The ill health of a child could mean he/she may have to spend a lot of time in hospital , this would mean being absent from preschool and school affecting education on all levels, including emotional and social aspects of making friends etc.
Primates, as a whole, have evolved over the time span of several million years with the most advanced primate being the human. The planet Earth has gone through several weather, climate, and geographical changes. Due to those changes, primates have had to undergo changes to adapt to their new living conditions. One of the many changes that primates have gone through would be primate locomotion and body configuration. .This research paper will explain as to why the evolutionary modifications of the primate have helped them survive.
They also have different facial characteristics which can lead to bullying. Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disability which is also developed at birth due to the brain. This affects motor conditions that cause physical disability in human development, resulting limits in movement and posture. Health problems are also personal factors, such as Asthma which will affect the child’s breathing. Children may get breathless taking part in physical activities and will have to use an inhaler to open the airway.
This side of the nature-nurture debate suggests that we are a certain way because of the way we were bought up and our life experiences. Biological programming - this comes down to your genes. Biological programming suggests that you will have similar medical conditions to your parents supporting the idea of natural selection and genetics. Maturation theory - this theory sees child development as being controlled by evolution and that genetically there is a series of events that will occur automatically. It is believed the development has a biological process and this can be predicted over time.
There are many factors that influence a child/young person development. Development may affect before birth or after birth. Antenatal – Is known as the period from conception to birth. During this period mainly the life style of the mother affects the development of the child. If the mother smokes, takes drugs, becomes ill or suffers from stress this can result in premature birth and health problems for the baby such as -: low birth weight, undeveloped organs, problems with sight and hearing which will result in the delay their development.
Access to recreational facilities, access to health and social care services, bullying, family dysfunction, effects of culture, religion and beliefs, effects of discrimination; Socioeconomic, e.g. income, expenditure, education, values and attitudes, peer groups, employment status; Lifestyle, e.g. nutrition and dietary choices, alcohol Intake, use and misuse of substances The different life factors that can affect the development of an individual are * Genetic * Environmental * Lifestyle * Biological * Socioeconomic Genetic Genes are made out of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) which knows and understands how to produce proteins. These proteins are used for human development, even though in a living cell of a human body there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Each pair of chromosomes includes one chromosome from the mother and one from the father, but your genetic pattern and development may be very different to your parents.
Our genes play an important role in determining our gender identity. The SRY gene (which is the gene that determines the Y male gene) will bind to DNA and distort, and alter it, creating the testes. The gene called Sox 9 is the gene that regulates the expression of SRY. If Sox 9 did not get to regulate the SRY gene; it would turn into a male fetus. We without help from the SRY gene; female reproductive organs would form instead of male organs.
Madison Keenan Ms. Solomon English 10 2-May-2012 The Effects of Birth Order One of the many things that affect human beings and how they relate to the world around them is based on their birth order. Birth order can be perceived in many ways by many different people, but the basic definition is best explained by Judith Graham stating, "Birth order is the chronological order of sibling births in a family." (Graham__). Within the definition, birth order is classified into four main categories; first-born, middle-born, last-born and only children. Once a person has established what category they fall under, they must look at the many factors behind birth order.
