Policy makers and parents themselves often believe that the solution is a switch from full-time to part-time work (Stacy, 2000). Further, research shows that throughout early parenthood, women exhibit significant movement into and out of the labor force (Hynes and Clarkberg, 2005). Hence, the learner anticipates big adjustments in her career as she maintains work-family balance. Her career is important to her but at the same time she also holds traditional beliefs about women's roles at home. She sees part-time work as a compromise and believes that as long as her working hours are ideal and can accommodate her family's schedule, she can achieve work-family satisfaction.
Another change that the learner expects to see within the next ten years is a career shift from teaching to counseling. Her teaching experiences within the last few years have led her to believe that she has a knack for listening and genuine desire to help students sort their personal issues and discover their natural skills.

She might do this by participating or volunteering in multicultural programs and activities.

As a new parent, the learner would expect to have an increased capacity for showing love, both verbally and non-verbally. She might be more gentle in her choice of words. She would learn how to "talk" to babies and later simplify her sentences in order to be understood by a toddler.
Because of the nature of this learner's future schooling and work, her communication skills should improve from training and experience. Counseling requires excellent communication...

Of course, Spears is still very young, and may face numerous future changes. However, at this time, she appears to have found some stability. Cognitive While Spears spent much of her early life in the public spotlight, it is actually difficult to assess her early cognitive development. This should come as no surprise when one looks at various theories of cognitive development. For example, Piaget discusses cognitive development, but all of
Erik Erikson: The Eight Stages of Development Biography Although not as famous as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson was no less influential in the development of 20th century psychology. Like Freud, Erikson viewed human beings as developing through a series of 'stages,' but he broke with Freud in terms of his emphasis on social development, versus sexual development. Erikson was the first major theorist to question Freud's emphasis on the Oedipus Complex and
Human Development Significance of cultural diversity Theories permit us to determine the world around us coherently and also to act in the world with a reasonable approach. Numerous theories have developed throughout the previous century in western countries that make an effort to clarify how human character evolves, why all of us behave the way we do, what external circumstances encourage us to behave in particular ways, and the way these
