Self
Sociologist in the United States today believe that we develop over time because of the different stages of age norms we face in our life span and by “time related rules and regulations”. This means we will have different time periods where we are forced to maintain relationships with people in our life that will help us grow, learn, and make mistakes to build us a better charchecter within ourselves. Personally I have had many milestones in my life that has taught me a lot as far as mistakes and being able to grow as a young man that I have grown into today. Completing High school was a huge social milestone for me, I wanted it for myself but most importantly I wanted to make my family happy.

Theories of Self development
There are many theories that we follow that are all considered to be good theories of self development. I am going to tell you about the few different theories that different people have come up with in our history and tell you which one i feel like is the best of the 5 theories and which one best represents my lifestyle. The first theory made by Sigmund Freud was the most followed and most supported by society only because it made the most sense. His theories said that everyone must develop their own sense of self but cannot do it by them self. He believed that your childhood, and the people that raise you and you are raised around is how you will mold your self-development, such as breastfeeding, toilet training, and sexual awareness.
