Humans are not born with an understanding of what is right and what is wrong. One’s conscience is developed over a lifetime and is influenced by environment, loved ones and social interactions.

Although the philosophers belonged to different time periods, they held similar viewpoints regarding what value virtue and vice hold in an individual’s character. Socrates and Aristotle had different views on how many virtues and vices existed in a person. Aristotle worked most closely in developing the idea of eudaimonea, roughly translated as happiness, in his Nicomachean Ethics books, which were derived from numerously translated notes of his students.

theories of why and how evil exists. We question the very existence of evil, its creation, the cause and the purpose. The “theodicy” problem, or the problem of evil, has been argued multiple ways over the course of many years. If God is so good and so powerful, why does He allow evil to happen in the world? How can a loving God allow so much pain and suffering, especially among the innocent? What, if any, is the purpose of this evil? Many arguments arise from these questions. Not only do these questions
learning or writing about Human Development, I don 't think I can fit the term into the simple definition that it is the unfolding of the human potential in each person 's unique environment. It just feels like so much more. Among the many things that have been engraved in my mind about the subject, the idea that everything is due to our genes and environment fascinates me the most.

Every ninety-eight seconds an American is sexually assaulted; by the end of this paper, multiple people will have been hurt. Someone may find themselves asking why these things happen, and how can they stop it? The problem exists deep within society, and societal change can take a lifetime if not multiple lifetimes. That means this nation will have to take on every single instance of these vile crimes one at a time, which is no small feat considering it occurs in the millions in this country alone
Human development is the biological and psychological development of a person throughout one’s lifetime. There are many significant pieces of human development including psychological, and theological concepts. The three psychological concepts I will focus on are Social, Cognitive, and Moral development.

I am also a college student studying to become a social studies teacher. I am in a relationship, but still open to religious life. My relationship defines a part of who I am and who I want to become.
