How The Biological, Psychological, Environmental, And Family Factors Have Impacted The Subject 's Life

In today’s world, many people place a huge emphasis upon appearance, self image and fitting in. Some are willing to go to great lengths to gain a better sense of confidence, even though the outcome may come at a great cost. In the short story “Anointed With Oils” Alden Nowlan, introduced to us Edith, a young girl ashamed of who she was and where she came from. There were many things Edith was ashamed of.Edith was ashamed of her family, job and lift. She thought if she could get away from the shacks and from her family that she was so embarrassed of, life would be better than to have people know where she was from. Even though Edith thought all these changes would draw less attention to her, they made her more noticeable than ever before.

The Ecological Systems Theory applies to different aspects of the lifespan due to the ability to apply the five systems continuously throughout the life span. The chronosystem can transition and change within one’s life. The macrosytem can align with infancy, this system setting examines the culture of the individual. The exosystem can align with childhood into adolescent stages due to this systems connection with forming healthy attachments. The mesosystem aligns with relationships throughout life and peer interaction, this can take place in adolescence and continue throughout adulthood and change based on experiences, in which the individuals Microsystem evolves (Wong, Hall, Justice & Hernandez, 2015, p. 32-33).

This quote demonstrates how people isolate themselves away from the unusual. The other kids did not want to talk to Jeanette because she was new; and had no buttons on her coat. Jeanette had “three dresses to [her] name, all hand-me-downs or from a thrift store, which meant each week [she] had to wear two of them twice” (Walls 140). this did not go unnoticed by her classmates.

For Participant 1 (P1), experience of loneliness followed by a loss of an attachment figure who he could trust and feel safe. This sense of safety is related to both his trust in others that they would be honest and stay with him. He values sharing and dialogue with trusting other(s) as he reflects on his life tasks and in developing a solid sense of self. His value in making a good decision for himself as well as people under his care is achieved through interactions with trusting others. A lack of those trusting others, it led him to feel alone despite of his acknowledgement of presence/availability of other people. His loneliness was compounded as he found himself needing cope with difficult situations alone. He places an emphasis on the

The program that I work for holds a provider breakfast once a year to acknowledge us, provides us with certificates of service and a special guest speaker joins us. This particular speaker was inspirational, insightful and was a pure delight to listens to. It was on June 7, 2014 and the guest speaker name was Sherry-Lynne Kirschner. The topic of her agenda was “What id Mindfulness”. She started off with a little metaphor about how nature is in away just like our mind, body and soul in the way they need nurturing and care. I cannot remember exactly how it goes and wish I had the privileged to hear it again. I have used this in relation to how nature and children’s needs are similar in the way of life. “To some people an acorn is an acorn, nothing more than just a nut. To others it represents potential. This tiny seed has the ability and the necessary elements to become the giant, majestic oak that has come to signify strength. When the proper conditions are provided, the little nut will thrive and grow into an impressive adult tree providing oxygen and shade as nature intended. The most important factor to the budding tree is the environment”. Like all living things, the acorn needs care and an ideal place to call home to be able to develop and blossom properly. This is also true for humans. By providing a secure, healthy, caring and positive environment for an infant to grow,

P1 – Describe physical, intellectual, emotional and social development for each of the life stages

2.1. Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors

When the research essay was assigned to the class, I was ecstatic because I knew what subject I wanted to write about. The trouble I faced when developing the exact question was narrowing down the topic, as well as making it approachable. I have a strong personal connection to my research topic, and I truly believe that the information I gather while writing this paper will significantly change the way I interact with others. Mental illness runs in my family, as my older sister has bipolar disorder, my mom has Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), my oldest brother has depression and GAD, my other brother has ADD, my great grandfather was schizophrenic, and my grandfather and two uncles have anxiety disorders. I myself live with anxiety and depression. In my

Research hypothesis: African American males are more likely to be effected by environmental factors in correlation with college attainment. The Null hypothesis employed in this study assumed that there is no significant difference between the environmental factors within correlation college attainment among African American males, while the alternative hypothesis was that significant differences would exist. Below is a description of a diagram the entitles formulated circles with inner circles inside to explain the environmental levels and influences on a child, of course for this research that is specifically narrowed down to young adult African American males. The description of the figure follows: the different environmental levels and influences on the child. First two inner rings display the microsystem- child’s first environmental contact, mesosystem- immediate environment like family, ecosystem-large social systems like school and community, and macrosytem- the wider society (Stevenson, 2010). This figure describes the overall interactions between the family, school and community, and the society as a whole (Daniels, 2014). This display’s a visual outlook concerning environmental influences toward young adult African American

Later adulthood is the time in life when changes in marriage, families, and peer relationships are affected the most by the loss of someone close to that person. “Most people 70 years of age or older are widowed, divorced, or single” (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010, p.619). Losing a spouse or close friend can create a sense of loneliness, which causes depression, anxiety and the emptiness feeling can become overwhelming. Depression also leads to psychological effects that will deteriorate a person’s health causing the chance for a terminal disease to become much higher. The weaker appearance of older adults causes family and remaining peers to step up in the role of making sure the person’s wellbeing is being met. (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010). Living accommodations and healthcare needs

Critically evaluate how environmental factors impact on the experiences and life events of an adult who you know, and how these factors influence that person’s health, wellbeing and use of support from others.

Throughout the Human Behavior and the Social Environment course, we have encompassed the many stages of the life cycle process. Now that I am twenty two years old, I found the early adulthood stage to be the most influential, and the most sensible one to relate to given the point that I am at in my life. More importantly, I decided to research and apply this life cycle stage to a variety of milestones, experienced by my interviewee, Chelsie. Living just houses apart, being raised by single fathers, Chelsie and I found that we had many things in common. We have remained friends since we were children, and have only grown to be closer into our early adulthood years.

Explain the potential effects of five different life factors on the development of an individual There are five different types of factors that can influence the development an individual for example, lifestyle influences, socio-economic influences, genetic influences, biological influences and environmental influences. Lifestyle In relation to Stephen, a lifestyle factor could be alcohol. If Stephen had taken alcohol these would have been the effects that would or could have happened. Many people when growing up come across people who are dealing with alcohol, especially while he was studying at university.
