Option 1: Human development includes cognitive, physical, social and moral

developmental areas discussed in the text (cognitive, physical, social or moral

Human development is a process in which there are various cognitive, physical,
social, and emotional milestones from conception to death. 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. For
example, the embryonic or fetal period is important in physical development
because if a fetus is exposed to a teratogen, any harmful substance such as a
virus, drugs, alcohol or chemical toxins, it may result in a birth defect such as Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) (Feldman, 2018, p. 315).
Option 2: Sexuality
Understanding sexuality varies from culture to culture, yet there are basic
biological, cognitive, and emotional components in sexuality and sexual
development. The different terms of sexuality and gender can be confusing, yet the
terminology is important to understand. We are all shaped in some way by our life
experiences from childhood to adulthood. So in this discussion, we will begin with
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?
