The theories that mostly apply to my development would be social, symbolic interactionism and anthropology. Symbolic interactionism would apply to my development because since I could remember I was always told by my aunt that I was the princess of the house, or that I was the most beautiful girl in the house. With any compliment I was given I was always made aware that I was a girl. I knew I was a girl through the comments that my aunt and family made which made me aware of my gender constancy. I learned through social theory how a women should act and look. Whenever, I did not act like a female my family would/will make me aware of the problem and encourage me to fix it. At an early age I learned my social location which was a Hispanic women.
