Human development includes cognitive, physical, social and moral development
processes throughout our lifespan. Choose one of the major developmental areas discussed in the
text (cognitive, physical, social or moral development) and briefly discuss its importance to human
development. How would an individual’s well-being be impacted without proper development of this
developmental area? For example, what happens when someone is lacking in social developmental
areas? Or what about the person who doesn’t reach the level of post-conventional morality?
