Q1: Is human development best characterized as a slow, gradual process, or is it best viewed as one of more abrupt change?
Q2: Which developmental theory makes the most sense to you and why? Give examples from your own life or other personal observations on development. What evidences do you see that support this theory?
STEP 1: First, write a response with at least 200 words and include at least one scholarly source, integrating concepts you learned from the reading and other materials (include links with necessary). Show that you can think critically on the topic by integrating your own thoughts, analysis, or experiences. Due by 11:59pm CST on Friday.
STEP 2: Return to the discussion to comment on at least TWO classmates’ posts (with at least 75 words per response post). Expand on a classmate’s comments in a value-adding, topic-related way.
