Compare And Contrast Erikson Vs Stagnation

Decent Essays
As I can state I choose Erikson stage of Generativity vs stagnation for a reason, because it matches me a as the type of person I am since I’m kind and a caring person. I can say the age this stage occurred since I was young girl, since I was raised to respect and treat others the way they should be treated even if they treat you wrong. One challenge I notice about being kind and caring is the output of things, because some people in life doesn’t have respectful others and that can be challenge when you try to care for someone even they treat you with no respect. I had outcomes where I had people disrespected me, but my Father always told don’t worry about, just keep doing what you need to in life to be successful and not stressing over stupidity,

    Genes play a role in the timing of our development and the maturation of our psychosocial processes, and the environment provides either a supportive or unsupportive situation for us to develop in, but Erikson thought that as individuals with a sense of self, we have the freedom to make decisions. In his second and third stages of development, we foster an objective self. This is necessary for moral reasoning and involves a recognition of ourselves as a body that takes up space, and a recognition of the effects of our actions. Though Erikson was a nature theorist, he differed from other nature theorists in his belief that we are not completely controlled by nature because we have the power of choice once we obtain our sense of…

    His theory suggests that there are general accomplishments and problems that each of us faces at each important point in our lives (Crain, 2011 p.282). The areas that contributed the most significant amount of analysis to my life are the competence and fidelity stages. I find that this stage, also known as industry versus infidelity, really analyzes my time in high school when I was just learning about my learning disability and how that has affected me until now in terms of school and that fidelity, also known as identity versus role confusion analyzes how my disability made me feel in terms of my peers and my professors. The other stages of the theory like hope and will also successfully analyze my childhood as well. I think Erikson’s stage theory is the more convincing theory because each stage of this theory examines each part of life and I feel that it is accurate when it comes to my childhood and puberty.…

    I think that was the boost I needed to grow in the way that I did. From starting my first job, college, and a relationship, I think the Erikson theory rings true to me and how I felt during those times. In Erik Erikson’s theory on psychosocial crisis, Erikson theorizes that from birth to death, people will advance through eight life stages. Starting once a newborn leaves the womb, they are guided by the first stage called “Basic trust vs. Mistrust”.…

    guilt stage, because Erikson’s theory explains how children may develop guilty feelings if they do not succeed at their new skills. I don’t want my children to feel self-conscious about their skills, because it can impact their self-concept negatively. I noticed growing up that my brothers would become aggressive towards their peers and myself when they felt guilty, because they didn’t know how to properly express their emotions. I wouldn’t want my child to start using instrumental aggression towards other children, because my child feels inadequate or guilty. This could carry on into high school and they could become a bully to try increase their sense of self-worth.…

    What I have drawn from Erikson’s theory was that in every stage, a person must face a conflict that will either be successfully resolved in the correct stage or not. Depending on how the conflict 's is handled depends on if they have learned that basic virtue. Each stage builds upon the successful completion of earlier stages, however, mastery of a stage is not required to advance to the next stage. Erikson eight stages uses psychological which is mind, social which is relationships, and put together is psychosocial. From my understanding Erikson’s Basically shows interested in how children socialize and this affects their sense of…

    Erik Erikson and Jean Piaget’s theories contrast one another, however they both agree that humans go through different stages through our development. Jean Piaget’s theory, cognitive development, focuses on different stages of a child where they transition from one stage to the other, and they follow a sequence. His stages and key ideas can be looked at as building blocks meaning, a good foundation can build a sturdy tower that will not easily fall down, however if your foundation is not even or has holes as you stack blocks onto it it will become weaker and easily topple over. The first stage of Piaget’s theory is sensorimotor stage,between the ages of infancy to two years. This stage is when children are taught for example if they have…

Erikson also believes that a series of successes and a feeling of competence motivates behavior and actions (Cherry, n.d.). On the other hand, if a person handles a stage poorly it will result in a feeling of inadequacy. In each stage, the potential for personal development is high, but so is the potential for…
