Overview

Key features

You will examine how environmental factors both impact — and are impacted by — the individual. Various influences, such as relationships close to us (family members, friends and peers) as well as those that are more distant from us (culture, religion, government, and the media) affect individual development. Furthermore, individual characteristics, such as age, race, gender and social class, affect one’s experiences in these different domains.

Gain insight into how individuals, families and communities influence one another.
