Diana has returned to college after raising her children. She feels that her human development course overemphasizes the dramatic changes that occur from birth to adolescence and disregards the various developmental issues of adulthood. Which developmental theory might address her concerns

This question lacks options, options are:

A. traditional

B. life-span

C. ethological

D. ecological

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Development life-span theory studies the processes of  change and continuity that take place in behavior and psychological abilities  during the course of life. Each stage of development revolves around a central crisis that the individual has to deal with in order to move on to the next stage. In its origins, this theory focused on the study of evolutionary changes in childhood, since it was considered that practically nothing changed in the adulthood stage. Development was defined as the progressive acquisition of functions, skills and abilities that will allow the child to interact with her environment to adapt to it. From this perspective, the great changes that occur from birth to adolescence were emphasized, development was believed to be something that only occurred in childhood, and changes in maturity and decline during old age. This approach was modified in the mid-twentieth century, at which time this discipline began to consider other periods of the life cycle, expanded its scope of study and started to consider the processes that occurred in the different evolutionary stages, beginning in prenatal development until the moment of death.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
