Lifespan development refers to the changes that occur in individuals over the course of their lives, from conception to death. These changes can be physical, cognitive, and socioemotional, and they occur at different rates and in different ways for different people. Understanding lifespan development can help us better understand ourselves and others, and it can also provide insight into the various challenges and opportunities that people face at different stages of life.
One of the key ideas in lifespan development is that individuals go through a series of stages as they grow and mature. These stages are marked by certain milestones or tasks that are considered typical or necessary for development at that age. For example, in infancy and toddlerhood, children are learning to walk and talk, and they are developing their social and emotional skills. In middle and late childhood, children are learning to read, write, and perform basic math operations, and they are also developing a sense of self and a sense of independence. In adolescence, individuals are going through physical and emotional changes as they transition into adulthood, and they are also developing their identities and forming relationships with others. In young adulthood, individuals are establishing themselves in careers and forming adult relationships, and in middle and late adulthood, individuals are dealing with issues of aging and declining physical and cognitive abilities.
There are many theories of lifespan development, each of which focuses on different aspects of human development. Some of the most well-known theories include Freud's psychoanalytic theory, which emphasizes the role of unconscious desires and conflicts in development; Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, which focuses on the role of social and cultural influences in shaping identity and behavior; and Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which emphasizes the role of intellectual development in shaping thought and behavior.
In addition to these theories, researchers have also identified a number of factors that can impact lifespan development. Some of these factors are biological, such as genetics and the environment in which an individual is raised. Other factors are social and cultural, such as the influence of family, peers, and society on an individual's development. Still other factors are personal, such as an individual's experiences and choices.
Understanding lifespan development can be helpful in many different ways. For example, it can help parents understand and support their children's development, and it can help educators design appropriate curricula and teaching methods for different age groups. It can also help individuals better understand and manage their own development, and it can help professionals in fields such as psychology, education, and social work better understand and serve their clients.
In conclusion, lifespan development is a complex and multifaceted process that involves many different factors and influences. Understanding lifespan development can help us better understand ourselves and others, and it can provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that people face at different stages of life.
The American Crisis
Look on this picture and weep over it! His ongoing radical ideology and revolutionary zeal to destroy the church and elevate the common man to positions of authority and power, ultimately brought his downfall. If it reaches him in his imprisonment, it will afford him an agreeable reflection. Reading all thirteen of the Crisis series is like looking at the blog of an American Revolutionary War soldier. There is not a syllable in its respecting alliances. I shall now proceed to the second head, viz. I shall not now attempt to give all the particulars of our retreat to the Delaware; suffice it for the present to say, that both officers and men, though greatly harassed and fatigued, frequently without rest, covering, or provision, the inevitable consequences of a long retreat, bore it with a manly and martial spirit.
Which sentence in this excerpt from Thomas Paine's "The Crisis, No. 1" best summarizes Thomas Paine's
Ye men of Pennsylvania, do reason upon these things! Jefferson uses parallelism when he listed the reasons the colonists desired independence and creates a stronger argument Parallelism. Some made me laugh out loud. Howe is mercifully inviting you to barbarous destruction, and men must be either rogues or fools that will not see it. Yet, notwithstanding those advantages on the part of America, true it is, that had it not been for the operation of taxes for our necessary defence, we had sunk into a state of sloth and poverty: For there was more wealth lost by neglecting to till the earth in the years 1776, 77, and 78, than the quota of taxes amounts to. Our ammunition, light artillery, and the best part of our stores, had been removed, on the apprehension that Howe would endeavor to penetrate the Jerseys, in which case Fort Lee could be of no use to us; for it must occur to every thinking man, whether in the army or not, that these kind of field forts are only for temporary purposes, and last in use no longer than the enemy directs his force against the particular object which such forts are raised to defend.
If our enemies can draw consolation from misfortune, and exert themselves upon despair, how much more ought we, who are to win a continent by the conquest, and have already an earnest of success. Jefferson strived for the patriots voice, Paine only wanted to keep those voices raised and powerful. What a beautiful wordsmith he was with such awesome lines as: "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: 'Tis dearness only that gives every thing its value. We were continually expecting to see their credit exhausted, and they were looking to see our currency fail; and thus, between their watching us and we them, the hopes of both have been deceived, and the childishness of the expectation has served to encrease the expense. Wars, without ceasing, will break out till that period arrives, and the continent must in the end be conqueror; for though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire. Several of the Crisis papers are brilliant but others are not. Our line is fixt.
And were the whole worth of even the richest of them expended in revenue, it would not be sufficient to support sovereignty against a foreign attack. And, Fifthly, to pay them. Many people believed that conditions had become so bad that Washington's army could be liquidated and the revolt suppressed before the end of 1776. And were any one state to give up its arms, that state must be garrisoned by all Howe's army of Britons and Hessians to preserve it from the anger of the rest. Morris sent it unopened to Congress, and advised Mr. I should not be afraid to go with a hundred Whigs against a thousand Tories, were they to attempt to get into arms. Were the home counties to deliver up their arms, they would be exposed to the resentment of the back counties who would then have it in their power to chastise their defection at pleasure.
But, as justice is due, even to an enemy, it is right to say, that the speech is as well managed as the embarrassed condition of their affairs could well admit of; and though hardly a line of it is true, except the mournful story of Cornwallis, it may serve to amuse the deluded commons and people of England, for whom it was calculated. If he succeeds, our cause is not ruined. Clinton, the second president in American history to be. You could really get a sense of how passionate people were about liberty and how the common individual felt a personal sense of responsibility regarding the proper development of a new country. Realization became true to the British because they were barely able to handle the small-sized colonists militia and acknowledged that this rebellion was going to be harder to stop than they had imagined. Her love of liberty; her ardour in supporting it; the justice of her claims, and the constancy of her fortitude has won her the esteem of Europe, and attached to her interest the first power in that country.
Read the Crisis I. But the most offensive falsehood in the paragraph, is the attributing the prosperity of America to a wrong cause. He received a rudimentary education at a local school, but spent a brief time at sea with a privateer before settling down into his own stay-making business. She is now descending to the scenes of quiet and domestic life. The second is, that when the danger comes, invited in part by our not preparing against it, we have been obliged, in a number of instances, to expend double the sums to do that which at first might have been done for half the money.
A third mischief has been, that grain of all sorts, flour, beef, fodder, horses, carts, waggons, or whatever was absolutely or immediately wanted, have been taken without pay. Yet it is folly to argue against determined hardness; eloquence may strike the ear, and the language of sorrow draw forth the tear of compassion, but nothing can reach the heart that is steeled with prejudice. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. . All nations and ages have been subject to them.
While our army was collected, Howe dared not risk a battle; and it is no credit to him that he decamped from the White Plains, and waited a mean opportunity to ravage the defenceless Jerseys; but it is great credit to us, that, with a handful of men, we sustained an orderly retreat for near an hundred miles, brought off our ammunition, all our field pieces, the greatest part of our stores, and had four rivers to pass. The working man from England accepted a job as the editor of the first real American magazine, The Pennsylvania Gazette, from which he began publishing articles subversive of English political control and of social convention. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. I rely on your wisdom and public spirit for such supplies as the circumstances of our affairs shall be found to require. I dwell not upon the vapors of imagination; I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as A, B, C, hold up truth to your eyes. I always considered militia as the best troops in the world for a sudden exertion, but they will not do for a long campaign. There are cases which cannot be overdone by language, and this is one.
I thank God, that I fear not. His writings and popularity led to election as secretary of the Congressional Committee on Foreign Affairs. Among the many ill consequences which attend the continuation of the present war, I most sincerely regret the additional burthens which it must unavoidably bring upon my faithful subjects. Wisdom is not the purchase of a day, and it is no wonder that we should err at the first setting off. Not a place upon earth might be so happy as America. I conceive likewise a horrid idea in receiving mercy from a being, who at the last day shall be shrieking to the rocks and mountains to cover him, and fleeing with terror from the orphan, the widow, and the slain of America.
