Answer:
Some general principles of human development:
1. Development is a continue process:
Development is a continue process that is way it does not stop at any time. The pace of development maybe slow or fast but remains at regular intervals. Even after maturity has been attained, development is not end. 2. Rate of development: The rate of development is not uniform. The reason is that boys and girls have different developments rates. Each part of the body has its own growth rate and there is also period of imbalance. 3. Development involves change: It is clear that without change there is no development in human begging. So it is not possible that human remains static. It is clear that form the time of beginning to the time of death, there is no single movement in which there is no change occurs. Development must be undergoes both quantitative and qualitative changes. 4. Development proceeds from general to specific: Development always proceeds from general to specific. It is also noticed that that general activity always precedes specific activity. For example, the fetus moves in the whole body but is capable of making specific response. 5.

Socioeconomic: It is notice that the children from different socioeconomic also varies in body size during all stages. It is seen that the upper level family children are mostly advanced, the reason is that they use better and balance diet. It is notice that the families size influences growth rate. If there is a huge family but there income is limited then they do not able to provide the proper diet to their child, so as a result the growth rate must be affected.
Pollution: There are many types of pollution such as water pollution, noise pollution and air pollution. These all type of pollution also affect the grow rate, and sometimes even more dangerous for the health. The children play on the earth, so land pollution also affect the growth rate of the children, if they play at dirty land.
