Introduction Morals, as defined by psychologist, are the attitudes and beliefs held by individuals that aid in the determination or what is right and what is wrong (Hock 142). It is believed that what is deemed moral is determined by our culture and the norms present in that culture. It is also believed that we are not born with an established set of morals; instead, we must gain this outline of what is moral throughout our childhood and adolescence and into adulthood.

So, the thing that I feel I was most interesting to learn about was that most mutual funds don’t even go ahead and beat

Abstract In this paper, Piaget’s Stages of cognitive development will be briefly explained, and I will explain where my cousin, Laura, is according to these stages. The real names of people discussed in this paper have been protected by not using their real names, so their personal information is confidential. My fifteen year old cousin Laura has been through many changes, and I have watched the rapid transformation in her personality, attitude, and way of thinking all in the past few years.

Introduction When we are born we have a different mindset then when we are at adult age. We view our surroundings and experiences differently and even our learning styles differ. Researchers such as Jean Piaget, Erick Erikson, and Lawrence Kohlberg have taken their interest in the areas of developmental growth and through research have brought us fascinating theories and observations. We also have certain developmental milestones in which we have certain abilities that we must learn at certain

As you aged, did you ever notice that your understanding of right and wrong principles changed? According to psychologists Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg it should have. Individually the two psychologists have made remarkable discoveries on how children develop and use their moral development. Jean Piaget, grew up in Switzerland in the late 1890’s and early 1900’s with his father, who was a dedicated historian. Around Paget’s early twenties he had the privilege of working with many influential

Piaget (1936) was the first psychologist to make a systematic study of cognitive development; contributing a theory of child cognitive development, detailed observational studies of cognition in children, and a series of simple but ingenious tests to reveal different cognitive abilities (McLeod, 2009). Analysing of this information indicates that Piaget undertook multiple educational studies, which undoubtedly helped with the creation of his theory. Questions could be asked in relation to this theory

psychologist who looked at cognitive development in children. He had two basic theories, one about stages of cognitive development over time and one about how people understand their life experiences. "Early Education: A Cognitive Developmental View" by Lawrence Kohlberg explains how, Piaget 's stages show a clear difference in childrens ' thinking at different ages, and how these stages go in a set sequence but, can be slowed down by cultural influences (1021).
