Humans think dynamically. As social beings, humans need other humans to live together and interact. As religious creatures, humans tend to be religious, have beliefs, or recognize that other forces outside of themselves can control humans, provide protection, and provide threats and punishments to humans.

Humans can grow and develop through a natural process towards maturity both physically and spiritually concerning individual development.
