What Human Development Happens To You Before, During, & After Life

(Your Mind, Body, & Development)

Humans go through a lot of different situations in life to develop the way they do. There

is so many different ways one can develop to who they are. It can be anywhere from their

background of who or where they grew up with or at, to life events that happened, and plenty of

more situations in life. Human development can mean anything from body development, to

brain/mind development in thinking, and growth development. Many people believe that human

development is the same for everyone but they do not do the research on the development of one.

They do not know how humans can be affected in many ways in life to how they develop or are

developed now. Some think that humans are affected by development physical, while others

think that they were affected mentally and still others believe that humans are affected by

development emotionally. While believing that humans do not go through a lot of different

situations in development is sticking to one. These are different opinion stems from

​ uman
disagreements about whether human development is affecting one or not. ​A. H

development is something one goes through in their everyday life. Also ​B. ​While human’s

develop they grow in different ways to show how their lifestyle is or who they are going to be.

First, human development is something one goes through in their everyday life. This

means that human development is a big part of our everyday life. It will never go away and there

is situations that you go through everyday. Some think that humans are affected by development

physical shown in some research. In the first source it stated, “Human beings from conception to

death, take in energy in the form of food and warmth and expend it in body maintenance, growth,

exercise, and work” (Floud, Fogel, Harris, Hong 3). In other words, this quote is stating that

humans go through changes that may change their physical appearance and health. Alsp this

quote reveals about POV 1 belief about A is physical appearance and health is part of one’s

everyday life. While others think that they were affected mentally. In the source it stated, “A

child’s ability to learn to read in the primary grades may depend no less on how he/she is taught

than on the existence and nature of this between the school and the home” (Bronfenbrenner 3). In

other words, a child’s learning to read is either taught from home and/or school and what they

are taught doesn’t depend on how he/she is taught. This quote reveals about POV 2 belief about

A is that children everyday life is developed based on the learning. While others still believe that

humans are affected by development emotionally. In this source it stated, “Psychosocial

development changes and carryover in personal and interpersonal aspects of development, such

as motives, emotions, personality traits, interpersonal skills and relationships” (Sigelman, Rider

5). In other words, development psychosocially can make worse or improve how a person’s

mental state reacts to situations involving social life. This quote reveals about POV 3 belief

about A is that the psychosocial development is what one deals with in their everyday life and

how it can ruin or improve your social life.

Second, when humans develop they grow in different ways to show how their lifestyle is

or who they are going to be. This means that to grow to be different depending on what they

grew up with and where their background was. It affects them in the way they live. Some think

that humans are affected by development physical. In this source it stated, “The belief that

changes in the size, shape, and capability of the human body since the beginning of the

eighteenth century both reflect and illuminate economic and demographic change over those

three centuries” (Floud, Fogel, Harris, Hong 1). In other words, changes within the economy

shows how humans changed physically and their health has changed over centuries. This quote

reveals about POV 1 belief about B is in the different centuries the humans have changed their

lifestyles based off of where they grew up at. While others think that they were affected

mentally. In this source it states, “Researchers working within the new perspective of an

embodied mind, where the traditional sharp separation between body and mind is no longer

maintained have provided insights into the nature of a primary consciousness that is usable in

infancy” (Stern 17). In other words, the mind and body has a separation that lets one think as the

body may function with it depending on the person. This quote reveals about POV 2 belief about

B is that the mind and the body are different depending on the person. While others still believe

that humans are affected by development emotionally. In the source it stated, “In course of

human development, for example, cognitive, social, and emotional development are all the same

process” (Sroufe 38-39). This meaning that human development changes a person as a whole and

all have the same progressive ways. This quote reveals about POV 3 belief about B is that

development of a person changes as a whole and affects their lifestyle.

In conclusion,while we still have the question of ‘What human development happens that

affects you in life?’ is still in mind above was given research on the information. Within this

research a lot believe that humans do not go through a lot of different situations in development

that affects them. While many may disagree that human development is something one goes

through in their everyday life and also, while human’s develop they grow in different ways to

show how their lifestyle or who they are going to be. My opinion on the controversy of human

development is that you can not disagree with something when you fully do not know the given

information or studies. I feel like human development is in our everyday life as we are human.

Lastly, that this is a big topic that all should study up on if they are interested in how we develop.
