Breadth Objectives

Human development comprises of numerous theory's that assist us to develop a viewpoint on why, how, what and where we are in our lives (Atherton, 2005). This term paper is founded on a case study of a combined family called the Jones's. Interpretation of each member of the families' development has been established utilizing human development theorist from the next four theoretical positions; psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral and ecological. The concept of Sustainable Human Development, involves a combination of economic factors, legal, philosophical and anthropological makes it hard to be synthesized (Lear, 2005). This problem becomes even more complex determining whether it is a concept of legal nature can be classified as a Human Right, or whether it is a political claim. However, the development of doctrine on the subject leaves foresee the existence of a right, customary existence of at least related to economic development aimed at capacity building human and social, based on respect for the environment and generational escalation vocation.

According to Erickson, throughout the first year of life, young children proceed through the stage of developing believe or mistrust (Morris & Maisto, 2002). Sam (the least old in the Jones family) was hospitalized in her first year of life. This know-how could have formed mistrust in her parents and environment which displayed in Sam's reluctance to doze at night. (Aspen Institute, 2008))

Cognitive

Three of Piaget's cognitive stages of development, (which concern to a person's age and proficiency to realize and assimilate new information) (Boden, 1994) correspond with the age's of the Jones's. The sensor motor stage, the first of Piaget's stages is where the progeny discovers about himself and his environment through engine and reflex activities and draws from considered from feeling and action (Boden, 1994), concerns with Sam's eagerness for discovering and playing in her ...
