tailieunhanh - Human Development - Different Perspectives

Human development has different meanings depending on the area we will focus on. It is the ontogenetic process of individual development for psychologists. It considers systematic psychological changes in several areas, such as motor, cognitive, emotional, social, that occur in human beings over the course of their life span. To sociologists and economists, among others, human development is the consideration of the macrolevel countries or regions and their development conditions related to human needs. In a way it is oriented towards analyzing factors related to the quality of life in those countries or regions. In this sense it can be viewed as the process of achieving an optimum. | HUMAN DEVELOPMENT -DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES Edited by Maria Lucia Seidl-de-Moura Human Development - Different Perspectives Edited by Maria Lucia Seidl-de-Moura Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
