Human Development
COURSE OBJECTIVE: Human Development is a study of people and how they change, both quantitatively and qualitatively, throughout the span of life. Focusing on intellectual, physical, emotional, and social areas of development through all ages, from womb to tomb, the student will gain an understanding of how individuals help shape their own environment and then respond to those environmental forces they helped to bring about. All stages of the family life cycle will be covered, including the quest for independence, interpersonal relationships, human sexuality, and adjusting to the interdependence of an intimate relationship, the role of the parent, handling the concerns of middle and old age, and facing the finality of death. Special areas of emphasis will include the development of loving and committed relationships, decision-making, problem-solving, and strategies for resolving conflict, responsible parenting roles, managing family resources, and reinforcing the importance of family as the basic unit of society.
