A human being is created amazingly, their nature is biosocial. It means that a colossal number of factors affect their life activity, well-being, and lifespan development. Physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors are fundamental and determine life quality and its duration. Such important problems as health and well-being, parenting, education, socio-cultural context, and social policy are the cause for concern and reflection and are closely related to the development of the life cycle of individuals and communities.
These areas represent significance in the context of the lifespan development of an individual and affect its formation. Health and wellness are not possible without each other. Health influences well-being, but subjective well-being also affects health and life expectancy. These aspects are extremely important at any stage since they govern the quality of life, and, therefore, development. The upbringing of children is relevant at a certain period of a person’s formation, at the initial stage of the personality’s molding, and also at the stage of parenting when the transfer of experience takes place. Such an aspect as education should always be relevant, but often the activity of this area comes in the first half of life, and in the second half a person usually uses “the accumulated knowledge”. (Pullen, 2017, p. 32) The sociocultural context affects the spiritual formation of the individual and the understanding of their own identity, within the lifespan development, this period is quite significant. Considering that a person is a social being, the formation, and development of their personality are influenced by a variety of factors described above, adding value in their own way.
In a global sense, the problem of introducing social policy is more important since it is designed for the masses. On the local level, it is a system of activities aimed at improving the quality and standard of living of social groups. Implementing concrete life support measures can influence the development of the lives of individuals and give people the opportunity to change their lives for the better.
