Erikson once commented that the developing personality “can be said to develop according to steps predetermined in the human organism’s readiness to be driven toward, to be aware of, and to interact with a widening social radius, beginning with the dim image of the mother and ending with an image of mankind.” These steps correspond to the nine “Stages” in his well-known model of development. In each stage the person encounters, and hopefully masters, new challenges, with each stage building on the successful completion of earlier stages.
Using Erik Erikson’s model of development, select one stage of development that you have passed through for discussion in this assignment:
- Identify the stage that you have selected, and briefly (in about one page) discuss why you selected this stage. (10 %) [Heading: Life Cycle Stage]

In other words operationalize Erikson’s conceptualization by demonstrating, with examples, reflecting on and analyzing the outcome as they have played out in your life.
