Molly;
In Vaalsiner's Culture and the Development of Children's Actions he does a
nice job of critiquing all of the systems theories and how they are helpful
for understanding human developemnt and how they fall short in their
explanantion. I agree complex/chaos thoery appears too haphazard and not
systematic enough to explain the coordinated chaos that is human existance.
