    Theory of Human Development What  makes a person what they are? Why does
    a person do what they  do? Where does personality come from and how does
    it grow? These  are some frequently asked  questions when discussing the
    topic of personality. The latter  of the questions is actually an answer
    in itself.  Personality does originate  from a specific  point, and from
    then on it continues to grow and become exponentially more complex. This
    core point  from which personality begins  and the growth of  it will be
    discussed in the  sections to follow, but first  we must look at certain
    assumptions that are commonly made when developing a personality theory.
    Assumptions The first of these assumptions concerns whether one believes
    that the behaviors,  any type of action,  a person exhibits are produced
    by  conscious  choices  and  decisions,  also  known as  free  will,  or
    “determined” by forces beyond one’s  control. I believe in the free will
    explanation, but not the type  of free will commonly imagined. Humans do
    ultimately have the  power to choose their  actions, however the extreme
    influence of other  factors, such as heredity,  environment, and learned
    behaviors, may make  it seem like a  persons actions were predetermined.
    For example,  if a starving  people were  put into positions  where they
    could either eat  a Subway turkey round placed in  front of them or just
    sit  there and  stare and  stare at  it, common  sense shows  that these
    people  would eat.  However, it  is  possible that  one person,  like an
    anorexic, would just sit and  stare at the sandwich. For that reason, it
    can be assumed that human  beings do have free will, however the choices
    made are  greatly impacted and  seemingly determined  by inherited basic
    needs, environment, and  learned behaviors. This leads  us into a second
    assumption,  rationalism  or  irrationalism.  Do  human  beings  operate
    primarily on  the basis of  intellect, or  on the basis  of impulses and
    passions? The  answer is  the latter  theory. Going  back to  the Subway
    example, the  most likely decision on  whether or not to  eat the turkey
    round would be based on an irrational impulse in one’s subconsc...
