Developmental Influences
Investing in the early stages of your child life sets the
platform for the rest of their life. Through
these vital investments, the child begins to learn how to; make effective or
ineffective decisions, develop a sense of trust or lack thereof, communicate
effectively, become an introvert or extrovert. A solid understanding of these investments
will always lead to a feeling of hope.
Peer Pressure
Peer Pressure can manifest itself in a multitude of ways. It also can have a profound effect on the mental condition of a person. Peer pressure may cause a child to develop the need to run away from troubling times. Sometimes it makes children wish they were someone else, living a richer life or quieter life or both. Everyone child daydreams at some point in their life about living a luxurious life, but this can blow out of proportion in the mind. They may start to wonder who they really are and what they are supposed to do with their lives.
Societal Demands
There are a variety of factors that cause society to change
people's roles. Consider the roles of women
in the workplace, artificial insemination and gender
reassignment surgery have all had effects on how people see their roles in the
world. This has led to an identity crisis in society.
