This document summarizes several major social-psychological theories of human development:
1) Freud's psychoanalytic theory which views development occurring through the id, ego, and superego.
2) Piaget's stages of cognitive development from sensorimotor to formal operations.
3) Cooley's looking-glass self and Mead's role-taking which see the self developing through interactions and assuming social roles.
4) Agents of socialization like family, school, and peers which teach individuals to participate in society.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. • Socialization is the lifelong process of social interaction through
which individuals acquire a self identity and the physical, mental,
and social skills needed for survival in society.
• It is the essential link between the individual and society.
• Socialization enables each of us to develop our human potential and to learn
the ways of thinking, talking, and acting that are necessary for social living.
• Members of a society must be socialized to support and maintain the existing
social structure.
3. Social-Psychological Theories of Human
Development
• Freud and the Psychoanalytic Perspective:
• Human behavior and personality originate from unconscious forces within
individuals.
• Human development occurs in three states that reflect different levels of the
personality, which he referred to as the id, ego, and superego.
• The id is the component of personality that includes all of the individual’s
basic biological drives and needs that demand immediate gratification.
• The ego is the rational, reality-oriented component of personality that
imposes restrictions on the innate, pleasure-seeking drives of the id.
• The superego, or conscience, consists of the moral and ethical aspects of
personality.
4. Piaget and Cognitive Development
• each stage of human development (from birth through adolescence),
children’s activities are governed by their perception of the world around
them.
• His four stages of cognitive development are organized around specific
tasks that, when mastered, lead to the acquisition of new mental
capacities, which then serve as the basis for the next level of development.
• Thus, development is a continuous process of successive changes in which
the child must go through each stage in the sequence before moving on to
the next one.
• However, Piaget believed that the length of time each child remained in a
specific stage would vary based on the child’s individual attributes and the
cultural context in which the development process occurred
5. 1. Sensorimotor stage (birth to age two). Children understand the world only
through sensory contact and immediate action; they cannot engage in
symbolic thought or use language. Children gradually comprehend object
permanence— the realization that objects exist even when the items are
placed out of their sight.
2. Preoperational stage (age two to seven). Children begin to use words as
mental symbols and to form mental images. However, they have limited
ability to use logic to solve problems or to realize that physical objects may
change in shape or appearance but still retain their physical properties.
3. Concrete operational stage (age seven to eleven). Children think in terms
of tangible objects and actual events. They can draw conclusions about
the likely physical consequences of an action without always having to try
the action out. Children begin to take the role of others and start to
empathize with the viewpoints of others.
4. Formal operational stage (age twelve through adolescence). Adolescents
have the potential to engage in highly abstract thought and understand
places, things, and events they have never seen. They can think about the
future and evaluate different options or courses of action
6. Sociological Theories of Human Development
• Cooley and the Looking-Glass Self
• The looking-glass self refers to the way in which a person’s sense of self is derived from the
perceptions of others.
• The looking-glass self is a self-concept derived from a three-step process:
1. We imagine how our personality and appearance will look to other people. We
may imagine that we are attractive or unattractive, heavy or slim, friendly or
unfriendly, and so on.
2. We imagine how other people judge the appearance and personality that we
think we present. This step involves our perception of how we think they are
judging us. We may be correct or incorrect!
3. We develop a self-concept. If we think the evaluation of others is favorable, our
self-concept is enhanced. If we think the evaluation is unfavorable, our self-
concept is diminished.
7. • Mead and Role-Taking
• Role-taking— the process by which a person mentally assumes the role of
another person or group in order to understand the world from that
person’s or group’s point of view
• By taking the roles of others, the individual hopes to ascertain the
intention or direction of the acts of others.
• Then the person begins to construct his or her own roles (role-
making) and to anticipate other individuals’ responses. Finally, the
person plays at her or his particular role (role-playing).
• Significant others are those persons whose care, affection, and
approval are especially desired and who are most important in the
development of the self.
8. • As we develop language skills and learn to understand symbols, we
begin to develop a self-concept. When we can represent ourselves in
our minds as objects distinct from everything else, our self has been
formed.
• Mead (1934) divided the self into the “I” and the “me.”
• The “I” is the subjective element of the self and represents the
spontaneous and unique traits of each person. The “me” is the
objective element of the self, which is composed of the internalized
attitudes and demands of other members of society and the
individual’s awareness of those demands.
• Both the “I” and the “me” are needed to form the social self and full
development of the individual.
• According to Mead, the “I” develops first, and the “me” takes form
during the three stages of self development:
9. • During the preparatory stage, up to about age three, interactions lack
meaning, and children largely imitate the people around them. At this stage,
children are preparing for role-taking.
• In the play stage, from about age three to five, children learn to use
language and other symbols, thus enabling them to pretend to take the roles
of specific people. At this stage, they begin to see themselves in relation to
others, but they do not see role-taking as something they have to do.
• During the game stage, which begins in the early school years, children
understand not only their own social position but also the positions of
others around them.
• In contrast to play, games are structured by rules, are often competitive, and
involve a number of other “players.” At this time, children become
concerned about the demands and expectations of others and of the larger
society
• Mead’s concept of the generalized other refers to the child’s awareness of
the demands and expectations of the society as a whole or of the child’s
subculture
10. Agents of Socialization
• Agents of socialization are the persons, groups, or institutions that
teach us what we need to know in order to participate in society.
• The Family
• The School
• Peer Groups
• Mass Media
11. Socialization Through the Life Course
• we often participate in anticipatory socialization— the process by
which knowledge and skills are learned for future roles.
• Resocialization the process of learning a new and different set of
attitudes, values, and behaviors from those in one’s background and
previous experience.
• Total institution Erving Goff man’s term for a place where people are
isolated from the rest of society for a set period of time and come
under the control of the officials who run the institution.
