PLEASE HELP Which theory of development do you prefer: Piaget or Erikson's stages? Why?

I prefer Erikson´s stages theory because he mantained that personality develops through 8 psychosocial stages from infancy to adulthood. During each stage, a person experiences a psychosocial crisis which may have negative or positive outcomes for personality.

These crises are of psychosocial nature because they involve psychological needs of the individual conflicting with society needs. The better one person moves on from a crisis, it is easier to resolve future crises.  Not being able to complete a stage in a successful way can lead to a reduced ability to complete further stages and as a result of that, having an unhealthy personality. However, there are ways to resolve those stages at an older age.

To conclude, based on Erikson’s thinking or theory, psychology has reconceptualized how the later periods of a person´s life are viewed. Thanks to Erikson, middle and late adulthood are no longer seen as irrelevant, they are considered active and significant times of personal growth.


<em><u>The eight stages are:</u></em>

1.Trust vs. Mistrust: value

2.Autonomy vs. Shame: Will

3.Initiative vs. Guilt: Purpose

4.Industry vs. Inferiority: Competency

5.Identity vs. Role Confusion: Fidelity

6.Intimacy vs. Isolation: Love

7.Generativity vs. Stagnation: Care

8.Ego Integrity vs. Despair: Wisdom

To conclude, based on Erikson’s ideas, psychology has reconceptualized how the later periods of a person´s life are viewed. Thanks to Erikson, middle and late adulthood are no longer seen as irrelevant, they are considered active and significant times of personal growth

The theme of a story is its
sveta [45]

The theme in a story is its underlying message, or 'big idea.' In other words, what critical belief about life is the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem? This belief, or idea, transcends cultural barriers. It is usually universal in nature. When a theme is universal, it touches on the human experience, regardless of race or language. It is what the story means. Often, a piece of writing will have more than one theme.

Think about some T.V. sitcoms you have seen that you have found trite and boring. Was there a significant problem in the T.V. show that needed to be solved? Probably not. In much the same way, if a piece of writing doesn't have deeper meaning than we can just see on the surface, it is just as shallow as the T.V. sitcom. In order for writing to be meaningful and lasting, it needs to have a theme
