Erikson Exploration
You will write a short essay 4 pages, applying the concepts of Erikson to your own life.
Refer to the summary review for Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages here: Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages of Development.
You will select three (3) of the stages and apply them to your own life or to the life of someone you know very well (a parent, sibling, grandparent, child).
Make sure to proofread for sentence structure, grammar errors and typos–but it can be fairly informal in that it can be written in either the first person or third person, you do not need to use in-text citations or references. My goal is for you to review this material and really try to apply it to your own life (or to the life of someone about whom you have insights into their development).
The style can be less formal, and you certainly can write in the first person (“I” or “We”) rather than writing only in the third person as is typically required in formal, scholarly papers.
