It defines who we are and how we interact with and view the environment around us. Understanding human development and how it affects an individual is essential for human services professionals to master because we all may see things a different way from someone else. For the purpose of this paper I will cover the bio-psycho-social dimensions of human development, cultural competency, and the general systems theory. Understanding how humans think and develop are important concepts to being an effective human service professional. Bio-psycho-social is defined as the biological, psychological, and social development that come together to form an individual’s existence. Together these three aspects of human development interact to create an individual’s identity and personality.

For example, if someone was born deaf it could affect how they interact with the rest of the world thus makes communication with the rest of the world challenging, unless the other communicator knows sign language. The psychological dimensions affect that person’s perception...

...HC: Human-Computer Interaction Human–computer interaction (HCI) is concerned with designing the interaction between people and computers and the construction of interfaces to afford this. Interaction between users and computational artefacts occurs at an interface which includes both software and hardware. Interface design impacts the software life-cycle in that it should occur early; the design and implementation of core functionality can influence the user interface – for better or worse. Because it deals with people as well as computers, as a knowledge area HCI draws on a variety of disciplinary traditions including psychology, computer science, product design, anthropology and engineering. HC: Human Computer Interaction (4 Core-Tier1 hours, 4 Core-Tier2 hours) Core-Tier1 hours HCI: Foundations HCI: Designing Interaction HCI: Programming Interactive Systems HCI: User-cantered design & testing HCI: Design for non-Mouse interfaces HCI: Collaboration & communication HCI: Statistical Methods for HCI HCI: Human factors & security HCI: Design-oriented HCI HCI: Mixed, Augmented and Virtual Reality 4 4 Core-Tier2 hours Includes Electives N N HC/Foundations [4 Core-Tier1 hours, 0 Core-Tier2 hours] Motivation: For end-users, the interface is the system.

...Social Environment Paper April J Apodaca BSHS/325 June 20, 2016 Foundations of Human Development in the social Environment The bio-psycho-social development of humans is made up of three dimensions: biological, psychological and the social development. All three of these processes are essential for humans to develop. Biological, psychological and social development systems interact together as if in synchrony to create a person’s identity, behavior and personality. In human services, understanding the human development and how it affects an entity or an individual is significant. Even though two people are born to the same family, they will each have a different future. However, on the same note if a child that has parents who are addicts will be predisposed to an addiction even though this person is adopted to an outside family. It is critical to take all of these factors into consideration when viewing the person as a whole. Bio-Psycho-Social People’s genetics (biology), mental health and character (psychology) and social environment all contribute to the health or illness of a person. The biologic portion is contributed from the mother and the father of the individual, such as hormones, hereditary diseases, or infections. The psychological contributes self-control, negative and or positive thinking. The social would be, in the neighborhood a child is raised or the employment he or she has. All three of these together make up the entire entity of...

...Individual Life Span Perspective Paper Tressa L. Thompson University of Phoenix Psy/375- Life Span Human development Professor Deborah Wilkerson 04/16/2012 Life Span Human Development Introduction All living organisms possess a life span, this is not a process exclusive to humans only; the development of this life span includes life, decline, dying and death. There are several theories of life span development; however this paper will focus on and summarize just two of those theories, as well as shed some light on how heredity and the environment interact to produce individual differences in development. The hope is that the readers of this paper gain some knowledge of the human life span perspective and the human development that is a result of said perspectives. Life-Span Perspectives Biological, sociocultural and individual influences make up the basic foundation of life-span perspectives, these concepts continues to develop throughout most of human life. However, that development at some point over time begins to decline due to aging and decay leading us all to death; regardless of our individual, hereditary and environmental differences it is this process that is a constant in human life. All of these things combined are equally important to the human experience of life expectancy, and also the fulfillment of life as we know it and live it. Two Theories of Life Span Development Although, there are several life span development theories such as Cognitive...

...empirical and theoretical frameworks introduced to future nurses and aimed at preparing them for completing tasks in a nursing care unit. The education is also introduced to nursing students by professional nurses and other medical experts who have been taught to accomplish a range of educational tasks. Previously, prior to the development of the theoretical foundations proposed by Florence Nightingale, nursing was considered purely from a medical viewpoint, which involved medical intervention and treatment. Further investigations and development of nursing education has been largely influenced by other disciplines, including ethics, morale, and philosophy which teaches future nurse to perceive persons not only as patients with certain disorders, but as holistic beings whose concerns also depend on their social, cultural, and political backgrounds. Contemporary arrangements also focus on the development of the balance between practical implications and theoretical foundation to shape a new patient-centered vision on nursing and health care. Purpose Statement The main purpose of this paper is to trace the shifts in nursing education, starting from the development of Nightingale’s model and focusing on the present underpinnings and alterations in nurses’ training. Florence Nightingale Concepts and Frameworks With the advent of Nightingale’s concepts in nursing, a rigid distinction between clinical leadership and nursing leadership has emerged.

...There is an argument for the assumption of social responsibilities by business that business has a huge power in society. Sree Rama Rao (2009) argues that similarly large total responsibility is required to balance it. If power is significantly better than responsibility, the imbalance encourages irresponsible behavior that works against the public good.
