    The document discusses three key issues in human development: 1. Nature versus nurture - it states that the interaction between heredity and environment is so extensive that it does not make sense to ask which has more influence, similar to asking which is more important to a rectangle, its height or width. 2. Continuity versus discontinuity - whether development involves gradual, cumulative changes over time or distinct changes at different points. 3. Stability versus change - whether we remain fundamentally the same person shaped by early experiences or develop into someone different than who we previously were.

    ISSUES ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

    THE INTERACTION OF HEREDITY AND ENVIRONMENT IS SO EXTENSIVE THAT TO ASK WHICH IS


    MORE IMPORTANT, NATURE OR NURTURE, IS LIKE ASKING WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT TO A
    RECTANGLE, HEIGHT OR WIDTH.

    Learning Outcome

    A the end of this module , you must have;


    Informed stand/ position on the three (3) issues of
    development.
    activity
    Divide the class into 3 small groups. Let the groups choose their topic for debate. Here are the topics and
    issues:
    1. Nature versus Nurture – Which has a more significant influence on human development? Nature or
    Nurture? Nature refers to environmental experiences.
    2. Continuity versus Discontinuity – Does development involve gradual, cumulative change (continuity) or
    district changes (discontinuity). To make it more concrete, here is a question: Is our development like
    that of a seedling gradually growing into an acacia tree? Or is it more like that of a caterpillar
    becoming a butterfly?
    3. Stability vs. Change - Is development best described as involving stability or as involving change? Are
    we what our first experiences have made of us or do we develop into someone different from who we
    were at an earlier point in development?
