Within the Early childhood: Autonomy versus shame and doubt stage, dependency was not established. Although, his parents did allow Ian to explore his abilities it was not in a very encouraging environment. Frank and Monica were getting high in the car and left Fiona and Ian, both under the age of 10, outside in the winter. The two forgot the children there and drove off; Fiona picked up Ian (he was not able to walk yet) and walked all the way home. This is one situation, out of many, that Ian did establish independence although, he becomes dependent on the wrong people.
According to the Erikson’s psychosocial theory, which consists of 8 stages of development, infancy (trust vs. mistrust) is the most important stage. During this stage the infant learns to trust its caregivers and the environment around him. Forced to adapt in an environment in the absence of his father, Lamar was raised in a
To begin, the unlike parents show diverse reactions to their child’s passions and maturation. Pi learns a techniques
John T. Noonan’s “An Almost Absolute Value in Human History” he proceeds to argue about abortion and when an undeveloped human should be given the rights of an actual human. John T. Noonan poses the question, “how does one determine the humanity of a being.” With this question on hand he considers four ways to consider when “determining humanity.” “Viability: When the undeveloped human ‘can survive outside the womb.’ Experience: When the undeveloped human can ‘retain memories.’
Since, he was taken out of his environment and raised in a different environment that involved humans, the nurture aspect of development took over the nature. This is because the new environment that he is living in, effects how he does
H.Gs emotional development has come to complete stop. During my visit I noted that HG sat very close to his grandmother, followed her visually as she stood up to go to kitchen and became visibly anxious when she left the room. Analyzing H.G’s behavior and development through Erikson’s Stages of Development one will note that H.G was not able to “reach self-control without loss of self-esteem” nor does he have the ability to cooperate and to express himself properly. In early childhood he was not able to “effectively learn the degree to which assertiveness and purpose influence the environment.”
Furthermore during an induction all new staff members are required to read the policies and procedures book on their induction and during this time (or any other time) it is to be flagged up about any changes they may feel appropriate. (Recruitment Policy, 2015) A way in which country wide maintain their policy and procedure is by implementing any recommendations held by the Care commission, by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and national care standards.

Harlow’s Monkey Experiment is one the amazing experiment that demonstrate how important of caring and loving are to the development of a child. Using the baby monkey as a test subject, Harry Frederick Harlow shown that, baby monkey is preferred love and companion of the “mother” over food. Harlow has taught us that, the relationship between the mother and the child is very important, and that relationship can determine how the child will develop later, of his or her life. This experiment shows how much attachment is linked to touch, the infant monkeys were separated at birth from their mothers, only given a piece of cloth, in the experiment.
In the second phase, most interaction with others is based on shared cultural symbols. We are able to interpret how people feel about use based on symbols. In the third phase, we develop a self-concept based on our understanding of others reaction to us. The looking-glass self concept helps understand why children like Genie, can’t develop a sense of self, because there is nobody to mirror for them to develop any time of self- awareness. Genie was isolated and never had anyone there with her to teach her social skills.
Erickson’s theory demonstrates eight periods of human social development from infancy to late adulthood which each period is associated with a psychosocial crisis which could cause a positive or negative effect on the person’s growth. Due to the isolation occurred in her early infancy, Genie failed to form a close attachment to anyone. Also, Erickson’s theory states that interactions with others are critical to social development. Since being locked in a room for over a decade didn’t give much of a chance of socialising, it can be assumed that due to the lack of the foundation of social development, Genie did not develop a trusting relationship during the first period of trust verse mistrust. Failing to develop a positive outcome in this stage eventually led to the anti-social personality of Genie, it included the behaviour of the fear towards physical contact and not trusting anyone.
Genie lacks the necessary agents of socialization affecting her cognitive development. Family is the primary factor of socialization which can help a developing child learn how to function in society. Extreme isolation and punishment by her father, impaired Genie’s ability to learn and master basic skills. In addition, Genie did not attend school and barely left the house preventing her from experiencing secondary socialization and peer groups.
Apart from her learning is her development of her personality. She tried her best to become close to some people and maintain her cheerful personality, in the social workers ' care. In addition, Susan Curtiss, a UCLA Linguistics Professor, formed attachments with Genie during walks and shopping trips. On the contrary, because of the other people around her not listening to her while she was in the state care, she pleaded with the interveners to consider her great needs. This case also criticizes Erikson 's Psychosocial Development Theory, since for every Erickson 's stages of development, an emotional crisis must be experienced for normal development, but, as an effect of great isolation to Genie, almost all aspects of her development declined (physical - due to the non-stimulation of her cortex and psychological - due to her memorable yet harsh experiences), making her development not normal and unhealthy.
The term “conditioning” which is often mentioned in the book is the process in which the different casts are obligated to the different task of work and living. Every child is
Bandura does not put forth stages or time limits on development. He believes that observational learning (imitation, modeling) is key to understanding our development. A young child may observe his parent kindly talking to someone or violently yelling at someone and this will shape how the child conducts his own life. Bandura’s model of learning and development includes 3 elements: behavior, the person/cognition, and the environment. Bandura believes that these three work reciprocally, interactively, not one-way.
Children need us as adult to guide them and provide them their knowledge from the environment through learning and practice from time to time; they need to be mold and shapes by us through our observation. On the other hand, Rousseau believed that children are born with their natural instincts and minimize the obstacles of civilization and let them explore life, learn by themselves and face obstacles by knowing what is wrong and what is right. Children learn
