Week 5: Life Span Development and
Sexuality – Discussion

Physical,
Cognitive and Social Development (graded)
Human development is a process in which there are
various cognitive, physical, social, and emotional milestones from conception
to death, all of which require mastery. Our discussion begins with an
exploration of physical development. All stages are essential for development,
however, if you had to rank the importance of these physical stages, which
would you rank as most important? Please provide an explanation to support your
answer.Sexuality
and Gender (graded)
Understanding sexuality varies from culture to
culture, yet there are basic biological, cognitive, and emotional components in
sexuality and sexual development. A good starting point in understanding our
topic this week will be to explore the issues of sexual identity and gender
role. What is the difference between the two and what are some examples of
sexual identity and gender roles?
