Consider your own theory of human development by answering the questions posed below. After explicating your own thoughts on some of these issues, consider what theories outlined in Berger (2011) you most connect with based on your responses to one/all of these questions.

What is your general view of human nature (i.e., trustworthy, good, evil, deceitful, etc.)? 
Do you think that it is important to talk about different stages of development or do you think that we are essentially a "bigger" version of our younger self? 
How do you think we learn to do something? 
How do you think an individual makes changes in his or her life or do you think that "changes" are really not possible at the individual level? 
How do you think humans go about making decisions? 
In reflecting on your theory of human development, where do think your ideas emerged? 
Good luck! I look forward to reading your thoughts!
