The class I took to fulfill this pillar was EDUC 245 otherwise known as Human Growth (Social, Political, and Economic). This course was offered as honors and non honors; however I took it as an honors. Throughout the class we discussed how children grow up in different cultures and how growth of a child could be stunted. We also talked about behaviors of different development ages, from early childhood to adolescence. The class consisted of tests and a project that was titled “Three Ages.” This project was a great way to apply the knowledge we had gathered in class. I got to interview three different people that fell into the early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence. From there I wrote a ten page paper on my finding of their behaviors and growth and then presented my findings to the class. This class is a requirement for all nursing students; however, it was very interesting to see how the way you grow up can affect the person you become, whether it is culturally or their family is more complex. This course was great if you want to go into pediatric or family practice nursing because it teaches you how understand that not everyone was raised the same.
