An individual is affected by the environment to which he/she is exposed. The effects of the environment are generally contrasted with the genetic effects and are covered under nature vs. nurture issue. The attention of researchers towards studying the impact of socio-cultural processes on the development of human mind increased after the works of Lev Vygotsky gained immense popularity all over the world. This paper reviews the various components of social and cultural context. The paper aims to integrate the various findings from the existing reviews of the literature to investigate the correlation between the socio-cultural context and the development of mind in humans. In the context of this investigation, a majority of the existing review of the literature points towards the significant impact of the socio-cultural context in mediating the development of higher mental functions in human beings. From the current review of literature, it is, therefore, concluded that development processes could not be isolated and exist integrated with various domains of socio-cultural process.
