Question

Quantitative Change vs. Qualitative Stages: Are we almost different people at different phases of our lives, or are we always about the same with more experience to go by?

Answer 1

Answer:

We are different people at different phases of our lives.

Explanation:

Quantitative change is in the knowledge gained as we grow larger physically. This associated change is in contrast with qualitative stage which is affected by changes in our thinking and behavioral patterns. Quantitative change is obvious in height and weights while qualitative stage is shown in our personal experiences. Quantitative change is gradual accumulation of infinitesimal changes that resulted from continuous acquisition of knowledge and experiences forming basis for developmental changes as we go through qualitative stages of our lives.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, we are almost different people at different phases of life because evidence of quantitative change and qualitative change have proven it. Qualitative changes are changes that occur in the way that people think, see the world, interact and act, while quantitative changes are changes that occur in people’s body of knowledge, and physical stature. Since quantitative and qualitative changes always occur at different stages of life—with each added year, change in knowledge and body growth—then it can be agreed that we are almost different people at different phases of our lives.
