Human development.

Human development.

Human beings are the result of the interaction of our genetic tendencies with the environment in which we form  conception, and the family, social and cultural environment in which we grow up and live. Over the years, the quality of this interaction can boost and promote, or stop and break, the development of our innate potential and, as a result, configure the construct of ourselves.

Our genetic background and our natural needs.

The Modeler power of the genes on our way of being is unquestionable.

This proven and demonstrated intelligence, temperament, the interest in activities like hunting or fishing, the talent for music or dance, the aptitude for the sport, inclination to optimism or pessimism and adaptability depend, in some way, the baggage of genes that we want the world. And self-esteem eludes us this dependency of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Gene exerts its influence through our personality, which is molded by the messages of the environment in which we develop and live. Not surprisingly, therefore, rule out the impact of social factors and the imponderables of life on the perception and assessment of ourselves. We all know people who come to the world with great potential to assess positively whose perceptions of themselves is disfigured by growing in a hostile environment or by the effects of unexpected misfortunes that undermine their self-esteem. And us or less the creatures that are born with a nefarious genetic load, but that develop in a favorable environment enjoy a full and rewarding life. The newborns are genetically programmed to claim, loudly, that was them food, protect them and keep them comfortable. A few days of coming to world and begin to attract a wide range of sounds and images, to feel smells and caresses, and already distinguish between their body and their caregivers. In a few weeks the babies acquire perspective to observe, and that examined intrigued her hands as they move them. For young children the "I" and the "me" is simply your body. Two years already respond to its mirror image with statements like that yours or look at me, and exist in what they can do with their hands or legs. The rewarding feeling of control things in the environment is very early. There is more to see the joy expressed by infants when they notice that their actions have effect, as when moving your hands, the dolls or sounding bells hanging in front of them in the cradle. Little by little the 'I' and the 'my' acquired a broader meaning and represent not only the set of physical traits that make up your body, but also their thoughts, their mood and their actions. In addition, creatures do not take long to imitate and incorporate the qualities seen in important adults in their environment to their repertoire.
