Erikson's stages of psychosocial development

In Romeo and Juliet Act I the Prince sets a law that whoever gets in a fight will be killed. But in this scene Mercutio and Tybalt get in a fight. Tybalt won the fight and Romeo decided to fight him and killed him. Instead of death Princes punishment for Romeo was banishment from Verona.

With the fight of Tybalt and…

People’s life paths can be changed by these events. Some will react poorly, either not coping with the negative or not benefitting from the positive.

Society has made constant attempts to rationalize and explain child and human development through observations and research done over extended periods of time. Over the course of life, sociologists, psychologists, and anthropologists have deduced several theories, which clearly articulate and respond to the questions about human civilization that individuals have asked, for over centuries and established them as theoretical perspectives.

The first stage of Erik Erikson’s theory is Trust versus Mistrust. Children go through this stage from birth to eighteen months and this is the stage when kids learn if they are able to trust the world or not. The quality of the care that is given to the child is critical if they want to achieve the sense of trust. I personally do not remember going through this stage but from analyzing the type of person I am today, I can assume that I have successfully achieved trust. I have a wonderful…
