As we all grow older, we start to see and develop health-related factors that affect us biologically, psychologically and socioculturally. When we interviewed Jack Miller we saw how his experiences have impacted his psychosocial development. He has had biological changes, such as having his stress levels going up and down due to personal problems that he has gone through during his life. He also had psychological changes that were due to his experience during the civil rights movement. And lastly, he had social changes such as having ups and downs in his relationship with his family.

    Malcolm Gladwell Power Of Context Analysis

    Why is environment such a factor in today’s society? Many people are influenced by their environments and these environments shape the why people act. The environment also changes people's attitudes and behaviors psychologically. Both Malcolm Gladwell and Martha both express this concept in their writings. Malcolm Gladwell, author of Power of Context: Bernie Goetz and the Rise and Fall of New York City Crime, talks about how concepts shape the way in which epidemics are performed through an individual’s involvement with his or her environment. Gladwell expresses these many concepts through citing several examples that show how one’s environment can change the way an individual acts and can change their perspective on certain things.

    Jackson's Developmental Niche Model

    Understanding Jackson’s living environment is essential to understanding his developmental niches and needs. Super and Harkness’s (in Gardiner & Kosmitzki, 2010) developmental niche model asserts that the human developmental process is influenced by the individual’s unique environment, which shaped through integration and interaction among the person’s physical and social settings, culture, and caretakers. Therefore, having discussions about his family’s ethnocultural, reginal, educational, and socioeconomic background will be essential. Through such reflection on his environment, we will be able to get a sense of his individual as well as his family’s values, which is most likely a source of conflict among them.…

Depression does not know race, ethnicity, age or gender. “The cognitive perspective on the cause of depression believes that depression can be caused by faulty thinking, low-self-esteem, a negative outlook on life, or influenced on ones gender, race, socioeconomic status, levels of social support, and stress or other environmental events” (Capella University, 2013). Cognitive relates to conscious intellectual activity such as thinking, reasoning, and remembering (Merriam-Webster, Incorporated, 2013).

The concept of genes as a unit of heredity was founded around 1953 according to Watson and Crick, when they identified their biochemical nature.
