Lifespan human development perspective is a process of change associated with age
which characterizes all human beings from conception to being. Lifespan human development
perspective depends whether is it from nature or it is nurture. It depends on which either genetic
or environmental contribute more. It is very important because it has various growth or stages
that develops throughout life. It can occur simultaneously and can also view development with
context in different ways. It is as well multi-cultural which means that is is culturally defined in
different values and culture. It is also important to a number of subjects that has differentiate
viewpoints and it can be change during the transitions of life.
One important thing I learned and that is very helpful to me in this class is the transition
of life. Everyone will experience a transition in life. Our body develops throughout our lifespan.
Just like cellphone, every year they are upgraded by company. It has different and new features
compared to the old phones. Just like our body, we develop through our moral experience and
learn new experiences from the future. Everything is changing and sometimes it is stressful since
you get to change every time.
One transition that helped me understood more in this class is the early childhood to
adolescence. Personal experiences from early stages can provide adult behavior which can
determines the personality behavior. During our early years, I never realized until I learned it in
this class that we learned through social referencing. It is how we seek information about on how
we react to an unfamiliar event and how we observe someone else to gain knowledge on what is
happening around us. Social interaction is important as well. He recognized that younger
children are confused by some concepts that older children understand because they have not yet
learned to process the idea. (253) Family and peers become the bridge that connects to them to
help understand the things happening around us and that they may gain knowledge. The reaction
time of a child is faster than an old people. They have the ability to concentrate and pay more
close attentions even to small details. Our vocabulary expands and advances as well. During
middle childhood, we gain knowledge through the things we see, we do and hear. Getting
involve with different activities can help a child improve and expand their way of thinking.
In addition, I had experienced that really helped me understand more about transition is
from high school to college. It was stressful to me at first. I did not know anyone from the school
since I barely moved from North Ogden after I graduated high school. I really had no idea what
it looks like being a college student at first. I had fear that I might wont be able to get along with
others or that I might fall behind the classes. ... adolescent newcomers to a school community
need extra support to learn well. (343) SLCC lend me a hand. They gave me tons of
opportunities and introduce me to different clubs and activities that I could join and be part of the
community. They really make sure that everyone is part of the community, everyone is welcome
and they will give opportunities and will give extra support to help students learn well.
Additionally, adolescence to adulthood is another transition to each and everyone. It is
the period of change whether it is cognitive, social and emotional. Adolescents brain matures
which help seek their own identity. They understand more on what is going on. Adolescents
know that their are responsible for the choices they do and knowing the things on which is right
and which is wrong. Graduating, moving away from parents, getting married with someone, or
getting a stable job is part of adulthood. As time pass by, growth passes by as well. We are happy
more than we were before because of the memory and knowledge we had from our past
experiences. We may struggle for some hard circumstances but we, adults, try to find ways on
what we can do and what we are capable of.
Everyone of us experience transitions in life. We learn, explore and figure out the things
we wanted to do that will benefit our future. Our live is filled with challenges and we were given
the chance as well the responsibilities to learn, navigate and choose the things we wanted to do.
We get to know our true identity and our body develops while growing up.
