The lifespan can be viewed as a path that extends from birth to
death. Most individuals progress through the same stages on that path.
You may think that development stops after the teen years, but growth
and change continue throughout every stage.
Many people display the same qualities that are observed in others.
However, when you carefully examine each person independently, he or
she possesses a makeup that is distinctly unique. Even identical twins
have differences.
People may be very similar in some respects, yet different in others.
In the same way, the stages of development are similar for almost
everyone, but each person progresses in an individual way.
