I think this video does not have enough description, even for a "broad overview". The introduction should at least include these sociologist full names. I do think there are some details worth remembering though such as Freud and Erikson being concerned with the personality point of view while Vygotsky and Kohlberg were concerned more with cognition. This video does not get into any detail about the different stages of the different people but from what she said I would have to lean towards what Freud is saying. I do believe with my two boys that their personalities were pretty much developed by the age of five. But I believe that most of this is determined by family and parents since those are the people they are most around in the early years. This makes me also interested in Kohlberg's view because I think morals and right and wrong are mostly determined by the values that children see from their own family and the people they live around before they reach that age of five.
The video definitely could have been better with the additional information on the actual stages and levels of development within each sociologists' theory. I agree with you in your perspective that it is family and parents that determine how a child develops. If a child is taught manners and morals they grow up to express theses teachings and if not that grow up to be a troublesome kid. I wish that one of these theories would account for the child that grows up in a model household, yet still becomes a "bad" kid. I suppose this might be the anomaly though. farmgirl012
Out of all these sociologists, Sigmund Freud is probably the most interesting one, but also the one that most people disagree with or at least have a hard time following. His psycosexual theory of development says that we develop our personality, who we are, by approximately age five. I know I personally cannot remember my personality at age five, but maybe Sigmund Freud has the right idea. Perhaps by age five, Freud is saying that we have already been exposed to the environmental factors that shape who we are at our core. Sure as life goes on different events might change our attitude or perspective, but deep down aren't we always the same person. This ties into Freud's concept of fixations and how if we do not complete one stage of development properly we become fixated on it throughout the rest of our lives. Even though I can understand Sigmund Freud's psycosexual theory of development, I still like Erickson's psycosocial theory better. Erickson is saying that throughout our whole lives our personalities are changing and growing. How we deal with success and failure at each stage of life determines how we will continue to develop. This makes sense right? After all, how many times have we heard the saying "they're just not the same anymore". Freud dooms us into thinking that we are stuck with who we are from the get go where as Erickson is a little more hopeful that people can change. All in all, this video was great for a basic over view of Freud and Erickson and Vygotsky and Kohlberg as well, but it wish it would have actually discussed and compared the stages or levels of development for each. farmgirl012
I guess when you put it into that perspective I sort of agree with you also. I think it may be a combination of both. I think the person we are deep down is probably developed by the age of five as Freud said but I agree that people can change for the better or worse. Or maybe they become someone they aren't and then find their true self again. A good example is a drug addict. I know lots of old friends that have had problems that really alter who you really are and make you do things you wouldn't do.Camp012
I think all of them have something to contribute to the sociological pot, Freud looked at how children were shaped by who they were cared for. Vygotsky looked at how society and culture shaped individuals and how big of a part it played in shaping them. Kohlberg evaluated how right and wrong was taught in children, this also goes back Freud's theory of how we were raised, and presented moral dilemmas to children. And Erikson said that we continue to develop over the course of our entire lives. Firedancer012
I agree with you I do think all four have very good information and you are right about Freud he is hard to follow as we get into more of his theories but I think it's do to the fact that he was doing drugs with working on a lot of his theories. But you nailed it on the head farmgir012. Horatio012
I think that a lot of people discredit Freud because he had such radical ideas about how personalities developed, but I think he was onto something. Even though he linked much of human sexuality to the creation of personality starting at birth, I agree that much of our personality sets in at a very young age. In contrast to Freud's theory, Erikson believed that personality was shaped over the entirety of someone's lifespan. They had the relatively same idea, however, about the impact of conflict within early childhood in shaping personality. They both, in their own way, stated that if a conflict isn't resolved then a personality change occurs. I agree with Vygotsky's idea that society and significant others play a big role in shaping an individual's personality, but I think this comes later in life, after a person starts comparing themselves to others in their society. I also strongly agree with Kohlberg about his idea of right and wrong, I think it has a lot to do with what we're taught, who taught us, and how we were taught that information. Firedancer012
People learn in different way so they will develop differently. Freud said he believes people develop while in childhood and there are 5 stages of this development. Erikson believes that it take a life span to develop and his process has 8 stages. Now we have Vygotshy who said that socio-cultural that children learn actively and hands-on. I can see how that is true because I learn better myself hands-on. Now last but not least we have Kohlberg and his theory is on moral reasoning, right vs. wrong. Wish they would have gotten into more about the three stages of cognitive development. Wish this video talked more about each theories but overall it gave a good ideal on what all four of the were working on. Horatio012
I like how she broke everything down in a simple manner, hitting the keywords and main focus points. Though each of these men had their own theory's Freud and Erikson both focused on the personality aspect while Vygotsky and Kohlberg focused on the cognition point of view. I think each of these theories have good reasoning and perspective. Freud believed the personality is developed by the age of 5 with the 5 different stages. I think that there is a good amount of truth to this. If you are a headstrong, curious child I think that you will continue to be that curious head strong person as the years pass by, you will just grow with those traits. Erikson on the other hand had a total of 8 stages and believed that personality continues through the entire life span, overcoming conflict at each stage. I agree with his theory as well, I think that our personality does depend upon how we choose to handle conflicts. Our whole life we have obstacles and conflicts to over come. How you choose to handle those depend upon the type of person you are or choose to be. Vygotsky believes children learn through hands on experiences and what the cultural around them displays. Parents/ Caregivers have a lot to do with shaping and molding a child's personality I believe, its like the say "Monkey see, monkey do." Kohlberg suggests their are 3 stages, which are broken down into two stages totaling ^ stages. Suggesting that knowing the difference between right and wrong will shape your moral development. I don't think that I disagree with any of these men. Who knows which is right and which is wrong. I think that all of these are true from what I have seen over the years. Different parenting results in different children, as well as different cultures. I don't think there is any right or wrong, they each have valid perspectives. I am interested to continue learning about these men and their theories. newmommy2be012
I agree, if you are head strong and curious as a child, you will continue to be so as an adult. You may learn to temper these traits but they will still be there.There is no right or wrong when it comes to child development. poeticLB012
I can barely hear her even with headphones on. Freud seemed to be important from having twacked out ideas even though he seems to be legit. He ran his theory through five stages. Ericksons theory seemed a little goofy to me because of the whole "getting over it" aspect of the theory. Vygotsky hit me dead on because he seemed to be focused on everyone and everything around us. He might have had a lot of incomplete stuff but he was on the right path in my eyes. Kohlbergs moral reasoning I also see as being a big part of what goes on. People will not do or will do things for personal benefit either being good or bad. Vygotsky seemed to be the only one with his head on straight and both screws in tight. People grow up and become who they are based off of their surroundings. Everyone of them is obviously very smart so you can't not have to agree with some but Vygotsky in my eyes was in the lead with his. P.O012
I actualy found this video one of my favorite videos. I loved every topic and I liked how the video broke the four different theories on how we develop. The video broke the different topic on Psycosexual, psycosocial, Socio-Cultural and Morals. My favorite two topics were Psycosocial and Socio-Cultural. I like how he broke down The lifespan on Psycosocial, overcoming a conflict and the way people handle challeges. I don't agree with conflict , nor can I handle it. It leads to confortation, and overcoming conflict is the best way to go. Socio-Cultural I thought was a interesting topic as well. It talked about, hands-on active, and caregivers are responsible for children's performance and the way they learn. In my opinion, caregivers are definitely responsible of and for there children 's performance. The way the caregiver provides , teach and perform around and for there children, is the way that child is going to carry on that affect forever. Socialbutterfly
First of all, I could barely hear her. But I liked this video and how she broadly explained what the 4 theorist believed. I think what Freud is saying is somewhat true. I think what you're exposed to before the age of 5 pretty much shapes your personality. Those are very impressionable years and most people can see themselves in their children. By that I mean, the way they talk, their mannerisms and gestures. They pick all of this up and its pretty much with them for life . But at the same time, I believe the older you get the more you turn into your own person. Not who your parents are or the people you were exposed to. I can see what Erickson is saying as far as dealing with conflict and how you overcome it shapes who you are. I dont believe it though. I think conflict is just something that happens to you. Doesn't necessarily shape your personality and harm your development. It may make you a more cautious person though. As far as Vygotsky, I think hes the one I pretty much agree with. Like what I said about Freud, and how I somewhat disagreed with him, what I stated goes along with what Vygotsky believed. I like what Kohlberg has to stay. You definitely learn morals from those you are around most and learn based off of what they have taught you and how. KingOli1016
This is a good overview of the four theories of cognition and personality development. I did find her a bit challenging to hear and follow. The following videos were better. I think that all theorists have valid points. Freud states that personality is developed by age 5. I can see that based on my children. With Erikson, I can understand how the 8 stages come into play. Some people will continue to grow and change based on what conflicts they've encountered and overcome. I'm not sure about the identity crisis aspect. As far as moral development, that comes from those around you. Your caregivers establish your moral foundation and teach you right from wrong. Vygotsky's hands on learning is also accurate. Children can learn and develop this way. I believe that children have to be looked at as individuals, each with their own learning style and personality. poeticLB012
