week 2 post 1

Week 2 post 1

                In this chapter I find so many different terms that has  me fascinated and eager to learn so much more about human development.  Terms like behaviorism, so many times I find myself in awe of home some of these children or even my peer’s act. I often times find myself wondering did they not have the proper home training. Like old folks would say. As I read the chapter more I come to understand that behavior is a learning theory that can form habits from an early age. So reference to my thoughts about lack of home training sometimes that might not even been the case we all have bad habits some worse than others.  A few other terms sparked my attention, for instance social theory and modeling. In the society which we live in you can say that it’s the social media era. Which has me pondering how we function in our everyday lives? What habits did we pick up from people either intentionally or unintentionally knowing? Or even modeling while it can be considered that we could watch anyone do something and pick it up. Its like youtubing something that you want to learn how to do and micking it you achieve the desired outcome. Or consider a 5 year old little girl watching her mother get dressed to go out for the evening. She then starts to mimics her mother by putting on her high heeled shoes trying to walk in them or playing in moms jewelry and her makeup. We have seen this type of scene I describing in real like either we did it or seen someone doing it or we actually saw it on the movies. While we might think this is adorable cant it be considered to be some chidren’s first  modeling experience.
