Homework Help: Health: Human Life Cycle: Developmental Issues

Events in my early development that affected who I am today are the time I spent in preschool, the first few weeks of kindergarten, and the time I spent playing outside near my house on Staten Island. In preschool I was exposed to all kinds of new creative avenues, like building blocks, scissors and pencils, that I never experienced while at home. Suddenly I needed more words to describe more specifically what I wanted to do and I remember trying to tell people about what I made or what I needed to finish a project and getting fed up with them not understanding me. It happened a lot and that Is part of the reason why I started to hate preschool and also probably part of the reason why I still love learning new things that allow me stimulate my imagination and express with greater ease. No one would help me out and everyone was moving at the same slow pace playing the same games. I would make up new games and try to tell people how to play them but they just wouldn’t get it, or I would talk about clouds and how they moved and light and shadow and none of my classmates would be able to comprehend what I tried to express. I also remember being in kindergarten when we started on the colors unit and being amazed at how many there were. Suddenly I didn’t have to keep using -ish and compound color names and I loved it because I felt like they should have names of their own. The way I had to rely on so many morphemes all the time was a nuisance to me. Kindergarten was also when I realized I didn’t feel attached to anybody. My mom got angry at me and I didn’t realize why she would be so mad. Then she told me that all the little kids waved goodbye to their moms before school except me. I just walked away. At the time I felt like she was over reacting because I did care, I just didn’t see a reason or feel the compulsion of attachment. I still don’t feel attached to anybody and it bothers a bit because people do feel attachment to me sometimes and I just cannot identify with what they feel, possibly because of my early experience with not understanding what attachment is meant to be and its significance in the social development of those around me.

I rated person A and B as being equally undesirable. My findings are not in line with what was predicted, but first impressions are important because initial judgments are made on the earliest indications of character. Also the list of characteristics is fairly long so the characteristics that will likely be best remembered are the first ones read.

I have a moderate preference for young relative to old people. 26% of the sites visitors have the same preference. This is correct because when I see older people my reaction is usually first to assess what is or is not wrong with them and then assess how much of my time and energy I will have to burn to present a civil image of myself (that I hope they will like), and then deal with assisting them in whatever way they may need, within reason to make our exchange go as smoothly and as quickly as possible. I don’t like old people very much.
