Document Summary
Social agents and contexts for social development: social behaviour is influenced many social agents in multiple social systems. Larger social systems ex. schools, communities, media, society: need to specify how exposure to these agents who are embossed in multiple social systems after social development over time. Social development occurs in a historical context: experiences differ across history according to. Economic conditions, lifestyle patterns, employment practices, and immigration demographics. Technological advances: need to update our understanding of social development as the social world of children of different cohorts morphs over time. Some aspects of social development are universal: social development is affected by universally shared achievements. Biological preparedness for social interaction: determining which aspects of social behaviour are universal and which are culturally determined (or specific) is a continuing challenge. Development may be gradual and continuous or rapid and dramatic: both gradual and rapid changes contribute to social development, rapid biological changes include.
