It holds the human relationships and interactions with surroundings (ex. Parents, siblings, school environment).

Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham Maslow was born on April 1, 1908 in Brooklyn, New York. He was the first born of seven. His parents were uneducated Jewish immigrants from Russia to the United States before he was born. They came to America to get away from the harsh conditions and socio-political turmoil. His parents, hoping for their children to do better than they did, pushed for educational excellence. He grew up with almost no friends to play with because his father would make him study for long hours. When Maslow wasn’t busy studying, he was assisting his father to make end meet. He was a very

The field of psychology has grown to be a respected, however, even the greatest psychologists can only theorize about what makes human beings act the way they do. Absolutes are not part of psychology, and everything is relative and open to speculation.Human development is one of the most popular areas of interest for those who study psychology with Freud and Erikson as the great theorists with differing ideas concerning human development. Each theorist developed ideas and stages for human development in which human beings pass through different stages of life.

Understanding and Narrowing the “Academic Achievement Gap” in K-12th Grade Schools
in America.
I. Introduction
Low socioeconomic status(SES) students are members of low social class families who
are impeded by the educational system and occupy lower-wage jobs. The United States flawed
education system disadvantages low-socioeconomic status students, causing an academic
achievement gap. Because the future of America depends on the education of all, not just
some, of its youth, it is important to understand and narrow the academic achievement gap in
grades K-12. Although the U.S. government has attempted to narrow the academic
achievement gap between low and high socioeconomic students

Justice and its implications on South Africa’s education system.
In South Africa, there is a huge difference in urban schools and rural schools as urban schools have better resources at hand to teach effectively and the learning environment is better while poor schools aren’t able to afford much resources to be able to teach children effectively. This is why there is a huge need for social justice within the context of education and this is mainly through the notion of distributive justice, S. Pendelbury and P.

The classic debated topic of nurture versus nature has been, and always will be an
argumentative subject in the scientific world. Some psychologists and scientists share the view
that our behavioral aspects originate only from the environmental factors of our upbringing.
While other opposing specialists argue the outlook in science that agrees with the naturalist idea.
This concept of naturalistic ideas supports the hereditary genetic framework, inherited from our

Before WWII the picture that was painted for women especially those with a family, was one that included a spotless house, a set dinner table, and other “stay at home” duties. It was an unspoken rule that a woman’s role was to raise a family, cook, and clean the house for her husband and family. Some women did work outside of the house but their work was never glorified or respected as much as when the work was done by men. The workforce of women at this time was made up of lower class females and minorities and still was much smaller than that of the male workforce.

As early as the late 1800's, the term "child psychiatry" was used as a sub-title in Manheimer's monograph "Les Troubles Mentaux de I'Enfance" (Manheim, Marcel (1960)).
