Answer:

C. Neiterkob is the connection between the tribe and the sky god.

Explanation:

The mythical narration of "The Beginning of the Maasai" gives an account of how the Maasai culture came to be. It also gives an insight into how the Maasai people believe about the creation and their own beliefs of god and the divine.

Neiterkob is the father of the narrator who stated that she is "the daughter of the great Neiterkob, the Father of the Maasai tribe in Africa". She also explicitly mentions that "the rest of the tribe calls my father the "Beginner of the Earth" because he mediates between Enkai and our tribe, just as he did when the cattle returned from the sky". This is proof enough that shows that Neiterkob is the connection between the earth people and the sky god, thus given the title "Beginner of the Earth".

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Yolanda is 24, Zachary is 44, and Andrew is 73. Assume that each successfully completed the psychosocial crisis associated with

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Erik Erikson's theory of Psychosocial Development was developed by Erik Erikson and Joan Erikson in the late twentieth century. The theory is divided into eight stages of development of a child till late adulthood. Each stage is divided into two parts that denote the outcome of successful completion or unsuccessfulness in that stage.

So, according to Erikson's theory, the successful completion of the people mentioned above will be Yolanda at the intimacy stage, Zachary at generativity, and Andrew at the wisdom stage.

Intimacy v. Isolation is the sixth stage of the theory. This stage comprises of people aged between 20-40 years. In this stage, adults begin to share themselves intimately with others in loving relationships. If one fails at this stage of development, he/she begin to develop isolation and fear of intimate relationships. But successful completion results in intimacy.

Yolanda is 24 and at the sixth stage of the development. Thus, her successful completion will result in intimacy.

Generativity v. Stagnation is the seventh stage of the theory. This stage consists of people aged between 40-65 years. At this stage, middle aged-adults begin to find the work in which they can contribute to the welfare of the next generation. They begin to contribute towards the welfare of the society which can leave the lasting impact. Successful completion of this stage results in generativity whereas failure leaves them with feelings of stagnation and that they are not able to work towards the contribution; thus leaving them with little connections and little room for self-improvement.

Zachary, who is 44 years old, belongs to the middle aged-adults and the seventh stage of the theory. Thus, according to the theory, his successful completion will lead him to generativity.

Integrity v. Despair is the eighth and last stage of the theory. People who are 65+ till death belongs to this stage. At this stage, old aged adults begin to look back at their life and reflect on whether they succeeded in doing what they wanted or failed. After knowing that they successfully lived their lives leads them to wisdom. This wisdom helps them to sense the completeness in their lives and they feel ready to face death without fear. Failure in living a good life makes them feel despair.

Andrew is 73 years old and belongs to the eight stage of the theory. Thus, his successful completion of this stage will lead him to integrity and wisdom.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
