Human Development
John Waskom postulated that stages of human development followed the Fibonacci sequence, indicating that the unfolding psychology of human life would ideally be a "living proof" of the Golden Mean. This theory was developed and published by Norman Rose in two articles. The first article laid out the general theory: Design and Development of Wholeness: Waskom's Paradigm. The second article laid out the applications and implications of the theory to the topic of moral development: Moral Development: The Experiential Perspective.

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or development:
“Our theism is the purification of the human mind. Man can paint, or make, or think nothing but man. He believes that the great material elements had their origin from his thought.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
