With in Sociology there are many different area’s that play a role and because of this there was a wide variety of things I was able to pick from. I felt I would pick personality in infancy. Personality plays a role in social problems from birth and or infancy if their parents do not take note, and help guide their infants from birth in a positive manner for their overall growth into adulthood. With a positive upbringing and also learned tools from their parents they will be able to successfully deal with any issues that arise with in social problems.

Personalities from birth do they stay the same, or do they change with in time due to their social and cultural upbringing?

Lets start out with what is personality? There are many definitions for what is considered to be someone’s personality. Personality is considered a set of traits. As found while researching this topic I came up with, “personality is something that we all possess to some degree, or to put it more extremely, something that we either have or do not have (strongman, 2006, p. 136).” The easiest way to explain this is that some people have lots of personality and will stand out in a crowd, while there are others who almost have no personality, and are very bland in their disposition all together not to be easily noticed.

Clinical psychology
Focus on how people adapt to everyday life as a person
{
There is quite a lot of information that has been done over the years with in Clinical psychology.

Academic psychology
Study groups of people using statistical analyses

Also, there is also a lot of studies on how Academic psychology plays a role as well in figuring out personalities.

When discussing infants and their overall personal growth one must also bring into consideration the infant and the changes they go through with in the early stages of their lives. One of the greatest psychologists Jean Piaget has been used for looking into many stages that go on with in infancy and on. The stages show us a better understanding of how children grow intellectually and also cognitive growth as well.

Stages Of Growth By: Jean Piaget
Stage One: Sensory Motor, were the baby knows about the world through interactions through sensory.
Stage Two: The Pre-operational, which happens around the 2-7th year of age. In this stage it is thought to be were they further develop their symbolic function with symbolic reasoning and problem solving.
Stage Three: 7-12 years of age called the Concrete Operational Stage, this is were the child can understand the Conservation of mass, length, weight and volume.
The Formal operational stage at the age of twelve. At this stage it is known that they are able to abstract with reasoning. It is also noted that the child can manipulate ideas in their mind as well as manipulate with objects as well.

Personality Changes from:
*Biological variations
*Social influences
*Cultural upbringing
*Cognitive factors
*Childhood experiences
Personality is a very broad subject that starts from infancy in life. Personality is the psychological functioning of the individual person. It encompasses the diverse qualities of individuals and the influences on their psychological functioning.
And this is were we finally come to the reason as why personality can be changed due to, “Personality Description, Dynamics and development biological variations, social influences, cognitive factors, childhood experiences, individual goals and choices and other aspects of personality have been described by various theorists and researchers as components of personality (Cloninger Susan, 1996, P. 1).”

Neville and Johnsons book they noted, “Most parents know that children are different from one another from the day they are born (Neville, p. 11).” They discussed how this was good for the parents as well because with them knowing their own child than they can help them with different life changes.

Temperament plays a pretty large role when trying to understand babies and their temperaments.
10
Happy Baby
Temperament and the Happy Baby. Happy babies are usually less demanding of the parents attention and are more easily taught the tools necessary for adulthood through out their youth.
11
Sad baby
Temperament and the sad baby. If parents tend to these babies in a positive manor and continue to give them tools to learn how to grow more happy than this will help with sociology issues in adulthood. Overall, temperament works with shaping our development in infancy in to whom we end up as an adult.
12
Study of Human Development
One of the earliest systematic observers of infant development, Arnold Gesell (1928, cited by Kessen, 1965), followed the development of hundreds of children, filming their behavior at the Yale Laboratory for the Study of Human Development (Rothbart, 2011, p. 2).” Mr. Gesell describes individual differences in temperament and upbringing that makes the emerging personality from infancy and or child.

As I have found there are many factors when discussing an infants personality and how it plays a role in how they will handle sociological issues throughout life. Of course the list is never ending, but the most largest ones are: Biological, Social influences, Cultural upbringing, Cognitive factors, Childhood experiences, Individual goals, all play a large role in an infants personality. Studies show the more the parent works with the infant from birth the better they will be able to cope with all these other influences in life.
14
Many factors are involved in ones personality.
Overall, the information I have found through researching babies, and all of their different personalities, and my own personal life experiences to be pretty accurate, and that the babies environment all around them (biological variations, social influences, cognitive factors, childhood experiences, individual goals and choice,) plays a big part in how the infants personality at birth will play out overall into adulthood, and how to better prepare them for a positive sociological outlook for their future.
