1 Week 1: Benefits of Community Development The readings for this week's class addressed the significant influence that group activity may have on the social and economic makeup of a community. The overarching topic that surfaced is the development of social capital via solid interpersonal links, highlighting the significance of unity and shared objectives in the construction of resilient communities. The research conducted by (Hustedde et al., 2020) emphasized the significance of community empowerment in maintaining favorable outcomes and establishing the foundation for sustained advancement. As I learned more about the difficulties associated with community development, I realized how it could lead to innovations in fields like infrastructure, healthcare, and education, culminating in advancements that would benefit everyone. Week 2: The Impact of the Environment and Parents on Wealth The readings for this week explore the intricate connection between financial achievement, upbringing, and inheritance. It was quite amazing to learn that there was a connection between financial success and cognitive ability defined by genetics. According to (Black et al., 2020), ending the cycle of poverty requires having access to high-quality education. The environmental factors that significantly influence economic opportunities were highlighted. I now know more about the ways that a person's genetic makeup and social support system affect their financial situation. I have a greater understanding of the intricate relationship between an individual's innate traits and the myriad of outside variables that contribute to financial success as a result of taking in these concepts. Week 3: Theories of Human Growth and Change

2 This week, by analyzing and differentiating between Jean Piaget's cognitive theory and Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory, we looked into the vast network of ideas surrounding human development. The readings highlight the significance of social interactions in forming a person's personality and character and explain Erikson's eight phases of life, each of which has its own set of psychological or social conundrums. I questioned Erikson's theory's seeming disregard for cognitive progress, even though I acknowledged its benefits. The focus of Piaget's theory on distinct cognitive processes and experiential learning made it appealing to a wide audience. Embracing these divergent points of view helped me better understand the relationship between cognitive and psychosocial factors, offering a more comprehensive perspective to support people on their path of self-discovery. Week 4: Ways in Which Upbringing by Parents Affects Their Child's Socialization and Cognitive Development In this week, we looked into the significant influence that parenting has on a baby's development as well as the effects of stable ties on children's intellectual and emotional growth. The lesson’s readings highlighted the beneficial effects of secure relationships on a child's inquisitiveness and exploration, shedding light on the crucial part that parenting approaches play in influencing a child's social and emotional growth. In a study conducted by a group of scientists, (Crockett et al., 2020), they emphasized the significance of parental influence on a child's future development of their social and emotional maturity. After reading this research, I gained fresh insight into the complex interplay among parenting styles, psychological growth, and cognitive ability in the crucial early years of life. Week 5: Behavior and Development in Early Childhood

3 This week's lesson was Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, which offers a thorough framework for comprehending how language and prosocial conduct have evolved. The Zone of Proximal Development highlights the need of assigning academic activities that are no more challenging than what a child can now do. The link between language, social skills, and altruism, together with the positive feedback loop, highlights how crucial social interactions are for early childhood development. The preschool years are crucial for the development of language abilities and the interaction-based internalization of social norms (Baskin-Downs, 2020). However, it's important to recognize that cultural variation may have shaped these early interactions. This specific element, which hasn't gotten enough attention in the readings, makes us think about the different sociocultural contexts in which early childhood development takes place. Investigating play's active involvement in the growth of cognitive, emotional, and social capacities is also crucial. Even though Vygotsky acknowledged the value of play, the readings might offer a closer look at how exactly play contributes to the growth of executive functions and emotional regulation. Vygotsky's theory makes it evident that in addition to recognizing the many components of play, cultural nuances must also be taken into account in order to fully comprehend early childhood development. Our comprehension of the various ways in which kids go through important stages of their social and cognitive development is improved by this lens. Week 6: Teaching with Cultural Sensitivity The readings emphasized the value of developing culturally sensitive instruction and the transformative potential of valuing the perspectives, languages, and knowledge of indigenous peoples. Research indicates that teaching strategies that take cultural sensitivity into account help Indigenous children develop more socially and emotionally. This emphasizes how important

4 it is to create a learning environment that honors and incorporates their cultural heritage. The study conducted by (Gongora et al., 2022) provides information on the wider social advantages of putting these policies into practice, which support the academic and personal success of Indigenous teenagers. The importance of teachers in preserving languages and cultural customs for the benefit of future generations has been brought to light by these studies. Week 7: The Use of the Bronfenbrenner Bioecological Model in The Investigation of Juvenile Delinquency The Bioecological Model developed by Bronfenbrenner has proven to be a helpful framework for comprehending the intricate causes of teenage antisocial behavior. The readings for this week demonstrated the significant impact that institutions, peers, and family have on a person's social and emotional growth. The lessons research study provided light on the intricate processes that underlie the association between antisocial behavior and a dysfunctional home environment. Research has shown how important it is to comprehend social environments, emotional intelligence, and empathy to support teens' healthy growth. This is because these factors contribute to the prevention of delinquency and are related to one another. Week 8: The Connection Between Abusive Behavior and Attachment Theory This week's study examined the connection between abusive behavior and attachment theory, offering crucial context for understanding how attachment styles developed during early caregiving influence romantic relationships. Recognizing the connection between healthy attachment styles and successful partnerships as well as the potential for disordered, anxious, and avoidant attachments to exacerbate abusive behavior, the significance of early attachment figures on individuals was emphasized. When the pattern of abuse and the necessity of ending harmful

5 behaviors for future generations became evident, it became evident how important it was to comprehend attachment dynamics within the context of abusive behavior. Week 9: Contrasting Creative Crises with Midlife's Emotional Stagnation About my research on the topic of generativity versus emotional development stagnation around midlife, the reference sources offered insightful viewpoints on the crucial choices individuals must make regarding leaving a lasting impact and feeling dissatisfied. The biological, social, and psychological aspects of this midlife crisis were examined, highlighting the complex interplay of various factors. We looked into how people's reflective analysis during this time is influenced by health concerns, personal beliefs, and physical changes. My comprehension of the importance of these factors has grown as a result of this research. The complex balance that people need to achieve to overcome the obstacles of midlife became more evident when it was realized that individuals needed to develop a sense of purpose and make meaningful contributions to society to experience personal fulfillment (Nantais et al., 2020). Week 10: Elements Affecting the Health and Well-Being of Older Adults This week, I gained more knowledge about the prevalence of chronic illnesses in the elderly and the complex interplay between mental and physical factors that impact their general health. The readings focused on how to enhance the quality of life for the elderly by promoting healthy lifestyles, providing easy access to healthcare, and implementing preventive measures. Comprehending the diverse healthcare requirements of the elderly underscored the significance of adopting a comprehensive strategy in tackling the problems associated with aging. My investigation into the various obstacles that individuals face as they age has taught me how crucial it is to tailor assistance to meet their individual needs.

6 Week 11: How Adolescent Prosocial Behavior Is Affected by Authoritarian Parenting This week's topic was authoritative parenting's impact on teenage development, with a particular emphasis on the advantages of a stable home atmosphere created by strong parental authority. Supporting typical teenage development requires a combination of social norms, self- awareness, and emotional intelligence. An equilibrium in authoritative parenting became evident when taking into account the cultural context and possible issues, like high standards and conflicts over independence. Research on the effects of authoritative parenting on adolescents' prosocial behavior has highlighted the need to find a middle ground between controlling and letting children express autonomy in decision-making. Week 12: Evaluating the Grief Approaches of Freud and Klein in Light of Bowlby's Attachment Theory As the last in-depth analysis of this intricate human feeling, this week's readings explored the connections between Bowlby's Attachment Theory and the psychoanalytic viewpoints on grief from Freud and Klein. The grieving process and the long-term effects of significant others on an individual's psychological health were the main areas of concern. Understanding the depths of the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and internal object interactions is necessary to comprehend the complex and ever-changing nature of sadness. My knowledge of the various aspects of grief, which include both external and internal factors, has substantially improved my comprehension of the immense emotional experience that people go through. I now have a greater understanding of the complex and varied reactions people have to loss thanks to my investigation.
