Subject: Cognitive Development

I just finished watching a fabulous documentary about adolescence on PBS. It went through all the stages of development from Brofenbrenner's perception. It illustrated his views of how the older an adolescent is the more ideal their reasoning becomes. They no longer blindly accept life as it is, because now they understand it more through their experiences and can build upon that knowledge with some sound reasoning. The best part of the film discussed how if something really awful happens during the beginning of puberty and adolescence, the person is changed in some way. This fell right in with what we had discussed in class. The film showed really teenagers and just how they really reacted to their lives and their home environments.
