Introduction: In this task there will be a biography of a famous person (Eminem), which will describe this in PIES developments through his life. The development is used to describe the changes that might complex and involve a change in quality such as weight, height, etc. Most of them will also include the changes between the relationships and social life and the people’s educations and future life.

TASK1: Describe physical, intellectual, emotional and social development(“complex changes including an increase in skills, abilities and capabilities” –Stretch B and Whitehouse M (2010) pg. 134) for each of the life stages of an individual.

Infancy : As an infant there are social and emotional development involves interaction with carers and feeling attached to them. In this stage of development they are able to show emotions such as smiling to other when they happy and cry when they need something (attention, food, or changing nappy). They start to recognise object and shapes and they are slowly growing up (weight, height).

Childhood: As a child their social development becomes more interactive and fun. They start to play with other children and they might learn the social roles and behaviours within their families and other people that are around them. They become more independent and build friendship groups based on common interests. Children will learn to cooperate with other children learning to shear but at this stage they are still jealous about the toys and even friends. In the middle of childhood child’s body decrease in the thickness of the fat, and changes in the general distribution, it becomes slimmer. Bones contain less cartilage, which become more rigid and stiff. Is fast muscle growth. The circulatory system develops in a continuous but slow rate, breathing becomes more economic, digestive system becomes more efficient. They still want to feel love by the parents and want to being liked by friends.

Adolescence: As an adolescence occur in teenagers a strong physical changes, it since it is basically to achieve a period of sexual maturity. Their development is stimulated by hormones. Their relationships during adolescence increases in social contact with their peers. It is to their peers, young people guided by the need for acceptance and support. In this stage of life young people are usually choosing what they want to do in future, they are gaining more experience and knowledge about future life and they slowly prepare them self for a mature life by learning.

Adulthood: Adults are people usually fully physical developed. They are independent in this stage of life and mature enough to live on their own. They have or still looking for a life partner to share life with. They want to find the second half of them and spend rest of the life by loving and supporting each other, so basically to create a family. An adult have got a very responsible role to do, they need to make sure they can provide good life (also financial) for the family and taking care of the family at the same time. Activities focus mainly on two areas: professional work and their own family, and the level of involvement is dependent on gender. Mental acuity remained consistently high. They still should have a good social life (which might changes a bit, because of the family and lack of time) and they should go out, so they won’t become a homebodies and also to change opinion with other and interact.

Elderly: In terms of the physical parameters of almost all body functions are declining as they got old they do not have as much energy and motivation to do things at the same level as they used to. They are not as independent as they were and they need extra help, e.g. walking, feeding, shopping, etc. Some people say that those people don’t enjoy they life anymore because they experienced life already. Changes in the structure of life, such as the resignation of practicing various "games" within the family, such as the use of hidden partner blame for all the failures and permanent maintenance of the ambitious goals in life, as well as the acquired distance towards failure.

Eminem (an American rapper, record producer and actor)

Infancy:

He was born as Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October, 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. He was a quite boy and he was very attached to his mother, he was crying for her when she just left him for a minute. Eminem did never know his father, who left the family when Eminem was still an infant and rebuffed all of his son’s many attempts to contact him during his childhood, so by having no contact with his dad.As his mom did not have friends, Eminem did not know anyone except for his mom. His mom loved to watch TV and she did not let Eminem watch what he want, so only when she was taking a shower ort basically when she wasn’t watching TV Eminem used to put some educational cartoons that learn babies the basic things. He was a very healthy baby and he started to walk when he was 11 months but when he turned 2 he started to feel unwell and he got sick very often, his mom had enough because she was the only one that had to take care of him, Eminem was crying very often and she almost became a victim of depression.

Childhood:

When he was 4 his mom started to go out with him to the playground, they was very poor so Eminem did not even have his own toys to play out, so he was very jealous about other children’s toys. He felt worse than others because he did not have as many accessories as them. He had few friends but it was quite difficult for him to get closer to them, as he had only his mom before and he did not use to anyone else. He began rapping at the early age of 4, because he found this very interesting. He started his education when he was 5 and everything went good, especially his language. Unfortunately for Eminem he changed schools 2-3 times a year, because his mom decided to move between Missouri and Detroit as she could stay in work for more than few months. It has a bad effect on Eminem because he never could found a friend for longer than few months and he always was “the new boy” in school, so everyone was against him and they bullied him(he got bullied because he was the only white kid in the area.)As I can imagine his childhood was very itinerant and it left a huge impact on Eminem’s personality, the reason why is that he had no friends, because sooner or later he had to move, so it means that he kept almost entirely to himself. It means that physically he could have some issues with his health. Emotionally he felt worse than others, because he did not belong anywhere to be honest and also he didn’t feel liked by others.

Adolescence:

At age 14 he started to get it very serious about being a rapper but just when he was 17 he actually made a nickname for himself which was M&M, which he would later respell as “Eminem”. In his high school, Lincoln High School and Osborn High School he took part in the battles of words such as freestyle, although in this sector mainly led by African Americans, Eminemgain underground hip-hop audiences, this made him have a higher self e-esteem and he first time started to believe in himself and he have a good relationships with his ex-school friends, because all of them really liked his rap and some of them really wanted to be the same as Eminem. After repeating the ninth grade twice due to truancy and negative assess at age 17, he was kicked out of school, but he did not really feel sorry for it, because he just knew that he will be on top even without the school and proper education, then he started to be in the hip-hop business. As a teenager he was a very attractive boy and he could easily have lots of girlfriends but he wanted to be popular more than being in love. In this age he started to blame his mom, because of the way she raised him and he showed this through his song lyrics, he has accused her of being addicted to prescription drugs as well as subjecting him to emotional and physical abuse, also therefore he left home at age of 18 and did not visit her at all. He started them his own mature life.

Adulthood:

In age of 18, Eminem started to go out with his old friend from his ex-school, Kim. He fell in love with her so much and he finally felt appreciated and love by someone. It was very important for him as he felt important for someone that he can trust. He started to write lyrics for her about his love which after a while he published in his album, which was released by another rapper and former producer of Eminem's favourite rap group. So, by this time everything went good in Eminem’s life. He got the second place as the best rapper in America and therefore he got lots of money. Kim gave birth to Eminem’s baby, when he was 22 and theygot married to her at age of 27. He very loved both of them and it gave him much more power for future career, because he felt that he has a lot more emotion which can pour into his albums. He was very popular and at age of 29 he became of the best rapper in US and his albums got the platinum status (the best sellers). As he had a difficult childhood he never let his daughter feel what he felt in his age, he was treating her as a little princess.In age of 31 he had an operation on his knee which he injured playing a basketball, except for this nothing was wrong with his health. Intellectually he was going forward with his passion which was hip hop and till he was 33 he released 13 albums. He felt complete with everything around him, when unexpectedly somebody called him from the hospital saying that his mom needs a heart operation and its very expensive and he is the one who could pay for it as she doesn’t have anyone else that could take her of her. Eminem did not have to think long about it and on the second day he found out about her illness he came to visit her. It was quite difficult for him and when he saw hew he started to cry. He has forgive her, but it really wasn’t easy for him, as he clearly said “she destroyed his childhood”. However some memories was stronger than himself and he did not let his mom to see his daughter, he was probably worried that she will start talking about his childhood and Eminem wanted to safe his daughter from this knowledge. Few month later his mom died on the heart attack. It was quite sad for Eminem that he lost his mom, but as a very strong character he gave no sign of his sadness. He still carried on with his carrier. He continued to do his hip hop records for 10 years, and later as a very rich American led a quiet life in a house by the sea, he did not have to work more because they had a lot of money and he wanted to spend his life with his family.

Elderly:

In age of 67 Eminem’s wife and daughter had a car crush. He left alone. His whole life dramatically changed. As this adulthood was written before, we all know he gave himself to his family, his social live was shared with them both, he didn’t want to meet other people from the previous company because he wanted to chop off from everyone. As a result he left completely alone. The only one thing he was doing was drinking alcohol; he believed it is a medicine for his loneliness and he became addictive after few month. His physical health significantly deteriorated, because Eminem stopped to take care of himself, he didn’t go out, didn’t even tried to meet new people like in church, pubs or even on the street , he just avoided people. After few month he became an alcoholic and he started to lose his memory, it began from forgetting where has he put his money and finished at where does he live. He just went to shop to buy a beers and he got lost on the way.. he left on the street where he actually died of the coldness and obviously by his overall health.
