...Soc 100 Assignment 10 1. Explain the four stages of demographic transition theory. The first stage of demographic transition theory is the preindustrial, agrarian stage. In this society they have high birth rates because of the economic value of children as labor meanwhile they also have high death rates due to the low living standards and lack of medical technology. The second stage is the onset of industrialization in which death rates began to fall due to greater food supplies, yet birth rates remain high causing a rapid population growth. In the third stage, a mature industrial society, the higher standard of living makes raising children expensive and without the need for cheap child labor children become a liability so birth rates drop along with the continued drop in death rates. The postindustrial society stage is where demographic transition completes, dual income families with few children become the norm and death rates remain steady causing a slow population growth or a decline. In this theory it is easy to see how a society’s population is linked to its technological development. 2. Explain what you think the urban ecology theories and the urban political economy theory teach us about cities. Urban ecology theory explains that the first cities emerged in fertile farmlands where the agrarian society’s lived, then as the societies became more concerned with defense they found natural landscapes to protect their cities such as mountains or rivers....

...paper I will explain the lifespan perspective and development. I will summarize two theories of life span development. Lastly, I will explain how heredity and the environment interact to produce individual differences in development. Lifespan development is the different stages a person goes through as they grow. Perspective of lifespan development recognizes the changes that happen in development. Freud and Piaget have very different theories of lifespan development. Freud’s theory is a foundation of id, ego, and superego, whereas Piaget’s is a cognitive development that transpires over a person’s lifetime. Nature and Nurture are more than perspectives in lifespan development they affect how and who a person will be. Lifespan development is the time from conception to death as a person develops and grows; the perspective in relationship to human development is lifelong, and theories of lifespan development can be seen in Freud, and Piaget, while the impacts of a person life is nature and nurture. A person’s lifespan starts as a fetus and as it develops and grows during the nine months in the womb being a individual whichever male or female will remain through stages in a his or her life. The study of human development is a science on a quest to understand how humans change over their lifetime (Berger, 2008). The modifications a person goes through they grow can be linear-gradual, predictable, steady, but typically they are none of these. The common stages are birth, infancy...

...Essay The development of mankind brings many assumptions and aspects that should be considered in order to understand how we as humans develop. In chapter 2 there are many developmental theories that are analyzed and compared to one another so we can grasp the different ideas that explain our development. There are five major theories that emphasize the development of mankind. These theories are the psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Erikson; the behaviorist theories of Pavlov and Skinner and the social learning theory of bandura; Piaget’s cognitive theory; Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory; and Bronfenbrenner’s biological context theory. Even though all of these theories are different and distinct from each other, they all provide a handout to the topic of development. When we look at development there are many theorist that stand by the discontinuous change, which means that our development occurs in distinct steps or stages. The men that fall under this category is Freud, Erikson, and Piaget. Freud’s psychosexual theory focuses on five different stages, in which pleasure, or gratification is focused on a particular biological function and body part. In Erickson’s psychosocial theory, he explains how society and culture both challenge and shapes us. He also breaks down development in age groups to create the different stages there is to follow when we rely and interact with society. The last stage theorist is Piaget, which brings the idea of the cognitive development. He suggests...

...understanding of the major types of theories that help explain human development, including similarities and differences. Here are the types that we will discuss: (1) psychoanalytic, (2) psychosocial development (3) cognitive development, (4) moral development, (5) behavioral, (6) social learning, (7) ecological, (8) personality and career satisfaction, and (9) eclectic (composite) theories. Theories of human development fall into broad categories. Each category gives us a different perspective into our development during specific periods of change. Each theory owes something to one of the earliest modern theorists of human development, John Locke (1632–1704). He said that the mind of an infant is a tabula rasa (a blank slate) on which the world writes; all ideas come from experience. He was also an early proponent of the most fundamental principle of psychology: empirical research. Locke believed that knowledge must be discovered scientifically through research and then, to derive general statements about a subject, analyzed for common elements (Locke, 1690/1965). Locke’s empirical approach is the key to discovering new knowledge in every field of science.In psychology, if we can predict something will happen 95 times out of 100, we call it significant. Theories are modified or refined to improve their predictability and better explain research data A good theory must be able to predict outcomes.psychological theories of human development.

...Introduction Collins (1995) defined Sports Development as a process in which real opportunities, processes, systems and structure are created to boost people participation into sport and recreation or to improve their performance to any grade they wish to achieve. By that time in the UK, Sport Development was linked to increase participation and creation of opportunities, as Collins highlights in his definition. The term has evolved and is defined by Hylton and Braham (2008: 8) as “a term used to describe policies, processes and practices that form an integral feature of the work involved in providing sporting opportunities and positive sporting experiences.” Essentially sport development is about “getting more people involved into sport” (Bloyce and Smith, 2009). The traditional Sport Development Continuum is likewise known as the “sports development pyramid” due to its shape and is also frequently use to define the system of sport in the UK. It is formed by four stages: -Foundation. Beginners in sports, usually children learning basic skills. Primary schools and sports clubs are the main suppliers. -Participation. People begin to participate regularly in sports. It is also health and community sport related. Local authorities are the main providers. -Performance. Aimed for most talented performance who progress to compete in sport. Voluntary clubs play a key role in this stage. -Excellence. Focusing on top class performers competing at national and international levels...
