Today in class we talked about Erikson, Piaget, and Kohlberg’s theories on aging for humans. The three people have different theories on the stages of development in life. Erikson believes you never stop developing. He has 7 different stages unlike Kohlberg having three and Piaget who believes you're done after about age 12. In my opinion, I believe that Erikson's stages make more sense. I think you truly don’t ever stop developing because throughout your life you are supposed to make decisions whether those decisions include your career, your children's career, or even if you are going to have children or not. Even when you think your life is done and you can just sit back and relax you can't because you still have duties like paying bills and things like that or family to watch grow up or raise them. They also say your brain doesn’t even develop till the ages of about 21-25. This is crazy to believe because you are expected to make the biggest choices of your life by the time you are even 18. You are expected to choose your career, how you're going to live, and many other decisions that are hard to decide.

I could help society by choosing a career that will help society. Right now, I am thinking nursing and know that society and the worlds need for more nurses. 
I could hurt society by not choosing a career that is helpful for it. 
Society could help me by showing the good things to being a nurse. 
Society could hurt me by not helping me find a good job that I like.

Today in class we talked about how the whole world becomes your book in life. You start as a young child first born seeing the world for the first time, everything is new to you. You continue to grow throughout the ages of your life and learn something new almost every day. You learn how to talk, how to act, how to do everything you are able to do now in your life. How you grow in your life all depends on the culture you grow up in. Different cultures have ways of doing everything they do. We watched a video on Mongolians and they have toilets that are in the ground that people squat over just because that is the way they have always done it. To them it isn’t weird for people to see children squatting down in public to pee in random places, this is just how they were raised in their culture. As part of culture, we think these are weird ways of doing things. We weren't raised in that culture so we find it odd. In the united states, or even just Wisconsin for that matter we are lear...

10/5/18   Today in class we watched a  video  where they asked what kids think family is.  They're  answers were things like married parents, live together, do activities together. This video was shown to us because family is the biggest component of socialization.    In  everyday  life people act on a stage to get your vote, money. Everyone is performing every day of their  life .  Your  behavior status is your role in the play. If people don’t earn their  title  in our  society  you will get a bad title. You must earn your role in the play, a teacher will play her role by doing her job, by teaching in school every day. All the roles in our  society  with act out the script in our lives. You need to build up  your confidence in our society to play your role. Your role is also affected by your status in our society, you go to  school,  so you need to come to  class...
