Human Growth and Development

From youtube, Watch the documentary "Babies" which shows the birth and first year of life of four children from different parts of the world -- Ponijao from rural Opuwo, Namibia; Bayar from rural Bayanchandmani, Mongolia; Hattie from urban San Francisco, USA; and Mari from urban Tokyo, Japan. 

Please consider 3 areas of development in these 4 children:  (1) Physical development, (2) Cognitive development, and (3) social-emotional development and submit a written response to the questions below..

1.  Describe episodes or scenes in the lives of these babies that demonstrate the SAME concept, stage or developmental event in each of the 3 areas of development listed above (physical, cognitive, & social-emotional). In other words, what do you see that is the SAME in these children as respects physical development, cognitive development, and social-emotional development?

2.  Describe any DIFFERENCES in these children that might be attributed to environment or nurture (that is, physical environment, family arrangements, parenting style, nutrition, etc.). Again, please note one difference in physical development, one difference in cognitive development, and one difference in social-emotional development. To what do you attribute the differences that you note?
