...The issue of social development in adulthood has much important information that stems from the transition of adolescence to adulthood. In the article, Intimate Relationship Development During the Transition to Adulthood: Differences by Social Class by Ann Meier and Gina Allen, social development in adulthood has many variables of determining factors such as age, sex, race, financial position, sexual orientation, and militant experience. In a study taken by the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, research was conducted to see who in the last 18 months had a special romantic relationship. After receiving the data it was noted that lower income families have children that produce the majority of unintentional pregnancies. Upper class children tend to wait until later in life. This data shows that lower income families develop or participate in early sexual behavior at a younger age than upper income families. Even though lower income families have sexual encounters at earlier ages the data also shows that they marry at younger ages as well. This is a main cause for the high divorce rate. These two situations are primarily due to lack of education and resources from a family of poverty. Marriage patterns also follow the parents’ example. For instance, children from higher educated and income families follow the traditional marriage example. This means that they marry first then become parents. And the opposite follows for children with “less-than” backgrounds of their...

...affects our actions, our behavior, and our lifestyle. Another aspect that strongly influences our lives is social class. Social class is the rank that an individual holds, with present rights, duties, and lifestyle, in a social hierarchy based upon honour or fame. Status may be ascribed, which is assigned to individuals at birth without reference to any innate abilities—or achieved, requiring special qualities and gained through competition and individual effort. There are many effects of social class and can be felt anywhere. Almost every aspect of society is influenced in some manner by social class. School, work, religion, and home lives are also linked to the influence of social classes. “A Devoted Son”, by Anita Desai is a moving story about a father-son relationship which strongly reflects on the effects of social class. It shows how people’s attitudes vary in different circumstances. Social status can affect an individual in society by gaining or losing the respect of a person. It can allow a person to be recognized and, yet, unrecognized. It depends on the status. Social status can be developed or achieved by education, family, or fame and fortune. In the story “A Devoted Son” by Anita Desai, the author uses education, family, and fame and fortune for a way to develop and achieve social status. Education can greatly impact the individual’s development as a social being. Having a good education means being more knowledgeable and respected among people in society. It allows...

I declare that this assignment is my own original work and represents my intellectual property. It does not contain the work of others without appropriate reference being made. Essay Question ‘Critically discuss the meaning of international social work and social development and demonstrate your understanding of the integrated perspectives approach by analysing and applying to an issue such as local level development, poverty, post conflict reconstructions, forced displacement.’ International social work seems to mean different things to different people in different communities, across the globe. Even the term ‘social work’ is often hard to pin down in the Western tradition. The first ‘constant’ seems to be the history of the development of social work in Britain after the Industrial Revolution and then across the western world predominantly in the United States. Second, social work as a profession arose as the result of the issues thrown up by the Industrial Revolution, such as mass movements away from rural based living, agricultural jobs reduced, with massive technological innovations commencing as far back as the development of the steam engine. Third, social work as a profession is united by its values which are social justice and a need to attend to social welfare (in...

...Social Development Research • A study was done to examine violent behavior from ages 13 to 21 and identified predictors at age 10. • 55% of youth engaged in violence in adolescence, but desisted from any violence in early adulthood. • 16% of people persisted in violent behaviors at age 21. • The analysis performed and referred to in this article found that factors loaded consistently on three components, which were labeled; Early Individual Characteristics, Early Pro-social Development, and Early Antisocial influences. Explain why you chose this topic and article: I chose the topic (childhood risk factors for persistence of violence in the transition of adulthood) because violence among children has become more and more common over the years. It is not unheard of to hear a child brought a gun, knife, or even a hand grenade to school. I was curious to learn what characteristics were shown in these type of children and what the likely hood was for them to turn around their lifestyle as an adult. Key points of the article: The key points in this article were the numbers given during and after the study. It showed that more than half of youth that were engaged in violence in their childhood years retracted from any violence in early adulthood. The article also made it a point to inform that some differences in risk profiles did develop after combining risk and protective factors into component scales that were based on results of the principal components analysis. If you...

Journal of College Student Development, 41(4), 405-414. A diverse group of female students at a university was interviewed in examining multiple dimensions of identity to fill a gap in studying development which has only considered a single dimension of identity. The conceptual model proposed for complex identity differentiates the core representing the inner self, how an individual perceives themselves, with the outside identity that is defined by others. Each factual dimension surrounds the core as intersecting rings, asserting the importance of considering multiple dimensions mutually and holistically. The contextual influences are significant to continually relocate the dots on the rings, which...

...The Development of Instagram as a Social Media Tool Introduction More than twenty years after its commercial launch, the internet is now an important distribution channel, as well as an essential basis for consumer information and empowerment. The rise of the social and digital media has revolutionized the online environment tremendously. Novel applications for social correspondence are replacing the traditional mass print media. The social media landscape is an ephemeral place. New networks emerge every time, and it is almost impossible to keep track of what works and what does not work. With the many social media applications, the rise of online visual content sharing has brought about further changes in the social media landscape across various industries (Christiansen, B., Yildiz, S., & Yildiz, E. 2014, 213). The rapid growth of visual content sites such as Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Vine, and Twitter demonstrates how visual content has become widespread in social media, particularly in industries such as beauty and fashion, which rely heavily on visual representations and aesthetics. In the current social media landscape, brands are trying out the power of visual content in encouraging consumer engagement. Concurrent to this trend, Instagram is now growing faster than any other social networking site (SNS). According to Pew Research, while Facebook continues to be the most popular social networking site, Instagram appears to the fastest growing (Southern, M. 2014...

...Corporate Social Responsibility: Historical Development, Concepts and Practices Historical Development of CSR Carroll (2008, pp. 19-46) relates that despite the provision of schemes prior to the 1950’s to improve workers’ conditons, it is difficult to conclude that the development of social programs by organzations for their workforce was solely as a result of the altruistic nature of the company. The establishment of these social welfare schemes served the dual purpose of reducing social ills which in turn increased efficiency in the workplace. Wren (2005), management hitosrian, cites two cases which depict debates sparked by the question of limted charter powers and the concept of management as a trustee of the stockholders’ property working together to create the 19th century legal basis for corporate philanthropy. In the first case, the company wanted to compensate employees due to job loss. Based on court rulings which would not be aligned with the concepts of CSR, the directors of the company should be more concerned with spending the company’s money solely for the purposes of business and that it should not be used for charity. In the second case however, the court’s decision would be more in line with CSR’s concept of social good where the purchase of land for a school, church and other social institutions would benefit the community in general. These cases highlight the ambiguity that is inherent in CSR’s definition in an attempt to distinguish between social...

... children are able to acquire language spoken around them, regardless of its complexity. Development of language is universal thing and is mostly influenced by the surrounding of the one who is a language learner. Language enables children to share their feelings, intents, desires and to express themselves. Parents and caregivers share this significant role in children's language development. Children's first attempts are greatly influenced by the information and meanings directed to them by their social communicative partners. However, that conversation is dependent upon many factors, the one that shall be further examined is the effect of social class. There is wealth of empirical studies suggesting that all aspects of language that children learn are highly influenced by the socioeconomic status of their communicative partners. For example, Irwin's studies (1948, as cited in Raph, 1965) have shown the superiority of the speech sound of infants whose parents belonged to middle-class families over those of infants whose parents belonged to lower-class. Clearly, there are big differences between classes in the way they speak. Furthemore, Bernstein (1972, as cited in Piché, Rubin & Michlin, 1978) said that the language is characterised by the dissimiliraties in socialization process which are reflection of different social structural orders within the family. Additionally, the social structural bases of family have an effect on their communication orientation. Thus, the lower...

...One issue pertaining to social development is based on ones development of personality. I chose to research this topic because I see different factors in a person’s life that changes their personality on a regular basis. People go through divorce, marriage and enter into relationships frequently throughout their adulthood therefore each experience enhances their personality or can damage who they once were. I chose to review an article titled “Long- Term effects of Social Investment: The case of partnering in Young Adulthood”. This article discusses the long term effects of investment in social roles through relationship and personality development. Many environmental issues can trigger a change in day to day routines and lifestyles that will result in personality changes. As young adults enter into relationships whether it be friendships, romantic relationships, or business relationships it represents a new level of maturity within that persons personality. As young adults enter into this stage of their life they become more socially dominant and stable. Self esteem can also play an important factor and can be related to life experiences. Each change a person experience begins to define their personality. Based on the personality characteristics of a person it may inhibit their ability to function in a social environment therefore shaping who they have become. This article also discusses environmental surroundings playing a role in ones demeanor and personality traits. I do...

...Social Development Research week 6 cynthia tharp PSY/201 August/25/2013 Bettye Griffin Social Development Research week 6 The title of the article is Society for Research in Child Development; Teens' struggles with peers forecast long-term adult problems. The reason for choosing this article was my curiosity about teen drinking and peer pressure. The newspaper article states News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Vertical News Health (2013) Teens who had trouble establishing some autonomy (choices) and independence with peers (especially with respect to minor forms of deviance such as shoplifting and vandalism) were found to be at higher risk for problems with alcohol and substance use, and for illegal behavior, almost a decade later. The article talks about how teenager’s struggle to establish a rapport with their peers in the early stages of adolescence, but not getting bad influences that could cause them problems years down the road. Teens who have trouble with getting along with their peers and having their own choices or independence tends to be at a higher risk at having drinking problems, drug abuse, and criminal tendencies later in life. Researchers at the University of Virginia have come to this conclusion by doing a new observational study and is documented in the journal Child Development (News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Vertical News Health, (2013, April 14). As a topic for a research topic, I would use this article it would be a good resource due...

...Play is of an enormous importance in a young child’s life. Through play the child’s social and motor skills develop greatly. Three forms of social play have been identified as parallel play, associative play, and cooperative play (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). The child starts out at a young age enjoying their play with themselves rather than people (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Toddlers then play house with their dolls and stuffed animals. When the child engages human peers instead of toy objects in play this is the start of social play (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Through this development comes aspect of parallel play. Here this child may play alongside a fellow peer, but they may be engaging in two completely different activities (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). Side by side the children play, observing each other and enjoying the fact that they are present with that peer, while not directly interacting with them. At two years of age a child with participate in parallel play (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Associative play proceeds parallel play starting at age three. The children play in groups with the same toys as their peers, but each child uses the materials in very different ways (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). When asking a child engaged in associative play to describe his activity, he often times describes a totally different activity then the other children (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 341). A major part of associative play is imitation. A younger...
