Several theories attempt to describe human development. Briefly describe the Freud, Erickson, and Piaget theories regarding development. Provide the major similarities and differences between each. Explain how these early theories were developed, and why there is concern related to race, gender, socioeconomic status, and other areas of diversity in how these theories were developed.
We began the study of human development by understanding that human development is more than just going from child to adult. Human development continues through the life-span, hence the term life-span development. Even though we look at human development across the life-span, there are still hallmarks or stages of human development that are considered distinct, especially in terms of psychosocial and physiological development. Explain the main stages of human development and describe what you think may be the important hallmarks of each stage. Remember to utilize your course and relevant outside readings to support your assumptions.

Based on the data you found using the Cost of Living Comparison Calculator, answer the following questions: Of the two cities you chose, which city is more expensive? What is the difference in costs? Would you expect an employee to need a raise to move to the more expensive city? In contrast, would you expect an employee to accept a pay cut to move to the less expensive city? If you worked in the human resources department of a company that asked employees to relocate for job transfers, would you use these calculators? Why or why not? https://www.bankrate.com/calculators/savings/moving-cost-of-living-calculator.aspx. Use the Cost of Living Comparison Calculator at Bankrate.com. Enter two cities and a salary level to compare. You will use the information from the calculator in a discussion in this unit. As you know, the total cost of living varies greatly across the United States. In addition, specific types of expenses can vary greatly in two locations. Think of downtown parking in Manhattan, New York City, versus rural living in Oklahoma. There are salary calculators online that compare the cost of living in different cities, but they cannot account for everything.

The purpose of this assignment is to present an argument in which you urge your audience to take action. Your audience depends on your topic; assume you are writing to a neutral adult audience that has a basic understanding of the issue. To this effect, you need to write a 4-page research paper (Six total pages including the APA title page and References page). The essay should not be a report of what somebody else has already proposed. Instead, you should make a synthesis of several sources to support a specific point of view in an argument. Topic Choice: You are encouraged to write about a theme interesting to you. Your topic choice needs to be specific and have some level of originality. For example, poverty is not specific enough. You may choose to research poverty in specific groups of people or poverty in a specific region. Homelessness is also broad; you may consider narrowing the topic to homelessness in middle Tennessee. Music is also too broad but there are a lot of ways in which you can make your argument more specific. Audience Again, your audience is a neutral adult audience with a basic understanding of your topic. This means that you shouldnt be defining basic terms or explaining concepts on an elementary level. Furthermore, you should assume your audience does not agree with you but doesnt disagree either. That said, your tone should remain professional and you should be sure to address any counterarguments. Research: Your essay must include a minimum of six sources. Two of your sources should be scholarly (i.e. come from a database). If you choose to use sources outside of the databases, make sure you assess the sources credibility. We will assess sources using the CRAAP test. Your essay should include a References page and proper in-text citations.
