The Growing Human Model

As infants we are all about the ground. We crawl, explore, and usually have our heads tilted towards the ground. We are all about instinct. It is nature for human beings to socialize with other human beings and other living things. So babies are fascinated with everyone and thing. But as we grow older, we use less instinct and more brain power. As we progress to adulthood, we our constantly looking forward, looking all around us to absorb as much as we can in our brains. This is called the "Growing Man" model, and we learned it in sociology class. This made me realize how much babies need attention, they actually need it for their brain to grow to its full potential. Especially in our society today, where we spend a lot of time isolated playing video games, watching tv, or being on the computer. People should start to make an effort to socialize more, it's what makes us human.
