I know that each of us has our own perspective and just because someone doesn’t see a way to something exactly as you do does not mean that his or her way is incorrect. We must be open minded to all ideas, for others’ ideas may be easier or more rewarding than yours. This does not bring a downfall on you but simply builds you to be a better, more open to ideas type of person. When you can step back and let someone else express his or her self, you are allowing yourself to be equal to all and understanding that you are not alone. This world needs a team and you are just a minor piece of the puzzle. Throughout this course, we studied several different personality theorists and their theories. The main theory that stood out to me was Erickson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development. The main idea of Erikson’s theory was developed from the view of Freud’s. This main idea was the whole “ego identity” and its development (Erikson, 1968, 1974). According to our course book “Perspectives on Personality”, ego identity is the consciously experienced sense of self. I know that I’m only 22 years of age but I feel as if I have been through a number of obstacles that have changed my views on this world. Through these experiences, my sense of self or “ego identity’ has changed. It has grown to understand more and I have matured as a person. One of many crises that I have personally experienced was close death in my family and close circle of friends. I was
Throughout our lives, we will come across other individuals whose opinions differ from ours. Whether we decide to shadow their beliefs or stay strong to our own, it is how we handle the situation, as well as what we take from it, that shapes our character. I am now aware that, for the most part, it is best to have your own voice and remain firm to what you believe in instead of changing your views in order to please others just to fit in.
Freud saw the psyche structure into three parts, the id, ego and superego, all developing at different stages in our lives (McLeod). Freud's id can relate to my experience because when when the id is denied we will feel unpleasure or tension. When this situation was happening I was not happy and very tensed about the situation. This situation could question on how I look at relationships as I begin to grow older into that stage. Ericksons ideas were influenced by Freud’s theory regarding the structure of personality (McLeod). Erickson stated that the ego develops at it successfully resolves crises that are distinctly social in nature (McLeod). These involve establishing a sense of trust in other people and developing a new identity in society (McLeod). Erikson thought that if you witness others making decisions that you will follow and make that decision. During this hard time I did not know if I was going to be able to trust my uncle again because of the situation and stress he caused in our family, but I learned that you have to forgive others and to trust them again. I hope that I will never have to experience this situation myself even though I had witnessed this in my childhood. Vygotsky's theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition, he believed that community plays a role in the process of “making meaning” (McLeod).
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” Many times I run into a situation in which others disagree with me and I cannot help but wonder why they don’t agree. Recently, I had a small argument with a few friends who did not see from my point of view, and I guarantee they would have understood my point of view if they had chosen to open their mind more.
The job requirements were for somebody who is thoughtful, observant, creative and hardworking, I think I do all of these things well. I really enjoy working in a team and involving everyone, no matter of their ability. My skills are well suited for this job, as I have had a background in photography and media. I spend lots of time on my camera and on Photoshop. I like fashion and doing my best, these things go hand in hand to make interesting items.
The purpose of this paper is to describe three psychosocial theories and how they impacted my own personal development. I will use the theories to trace my development throughout my undergraduate career and show how I processed information and how is some situations I am still developing. In this paper, I will use Marcia’s theory identity development to describe how I moved from moratorium to identity achievement. I will also use Chickering’s vector developing a mature interpersonal relationship to discuss how I am continually developing. I will conclude with discussion two components of Bronfenbrenner’s developmental ecology theory.
390), my identity was also formed by these issues. I needed to figure out where I was going in life and what I wanted to be. Who do I see myself as and trying to understand why others see a different me than me? I had a dream from the age of 16 to do somatology and to work on the ships while traveling the world. Between the age of 17 and 18 I tried to figure out who I was while being in a relationship with a guy for two years. My end goal was all planned out and I knew exactly where I was going. I got to university and then discovered this is not at all what I wanted to do. I had a feeling of sadness and also that I do not have any purpose in life.That there was no further plans for me. I did finish university, but I knew I only finished because it was paid already. So there was no purpose behind it. I was in the stage of self-ego development like Freud would say and in an identity confusion like Erickson would say. (Erikson and Freud
The interview was conducted with a married female, 59 ½ years of age. The purpose was to document the subject’s lifespan history with recollections of significant events in her development. The focus was to identify any dystonic outcomes during any of the stages of Erikson’s personal developmental theory, theory of the mind, Levinson theory, attachment theory and Identity theory. It is anticipated that the questions could quarantine specific areas and incidents that may have obstructed any of the developmental theories thereby influencing the subject’s later view of adolescent, young adult and middle age. The focus for the paper is inspired by Erickson’s emphasis on the identity crisis as the “psychosocial
Erik Erikson was an ego psychologist who emphasized the role of culture and society and the conflicts that can take place within the ego. He developed a theory of psychosocial stages where he believed a crisis occurs at each of the eight stages of development. Erik Erikson was influenced by Sigmund Freud, who emphasized the conflict between the id and the superego, but unlike Freud, Erikson believed that the ego develops as a result of successfully resolving crises in eight distinct stages that expand a lifetime. Successful completion of each stage results in a healthy ego, however, failure to complete each stage results in an unhealthy view of one’s self. “Erik Erikson maintained that personality develops in a predetermined order, and
Occurring between thirteen and nineteen years of age, this stage answers the major questions, “Who am I?”, “What is my role?”. The ego virtue to be gained here is fidelity - more specifically, the ability to sustain loyalties and make commitments to yourself and others. Erikson claims, “we have almost an instinct for fidelity - meaning that when you reach a certain age you can and must learn to be faithful to some ideological view.” (Evans, 1967). Without the development of a capacity for fidelity the individual will have a weak ego or will have to look elsewhere for something to be faithful to. Focusing more on the idea of identity, Erikson feels that our sense of identity is composed of both positive and negative elements. There are
In entering adolescence, people heavily contemplate their ego identity. In the early 1900s, theorist Erik Erikson believed in eight stages of ego development from birth to death. For the purpose of this paper I have
According to Erikson, the development of the lifespan is a lifelong process from birth to death and includes the formation of identity (Broderick & Blewitt, 2010). I will cover in the paper six life events that influence my identity development from childhood to middle adulthood. Each life event will be explained based on the significance of the event as well as the impact the event had on my development. Also, theories will be discussed as they relate to my development.
We are all going to have different viewpoints and that’s completely natural. What we all need to learn is that even though someone’s ideas are different than yours, it doesn’t mean they are wrong. Develop your own ideas, thoughts, and opinions, and don’t let anyone take that away from you. You have the right as a human being to have ideas that are different than what society wants.
The cost accounting system was first used by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in late 1860’s.By using this system, the company was able to determine the comparative cost per ton-mile among its branches, rather than considering the earnings or net income evaluated by its managers. Later in 19th century, the accounting methods developed by the railroads were adopted by many large manufacturing firms in United States.
This paper studies the eight stages of Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development and the impact is has had on how the people view the personality development during infancy to late adulthood. These stages are split up into specific age groups and show how the developments occur. There are difficulties presented within the groups that the child, teenager, and adult go through and experience within their lives. These are positive and negative experiences that ultimately decide the outcome of each person. Each person has a different life experience so these stages help to show how a person grows into their personality as they age in life. These experiences show that they can define who a person is and they are crucial.
Identity crisis is a state of psychological distress in which a person feels confused and uncertain and unsure of his role in life which makes his sense of identity becomes insecure on physical and intellectual segregation from the main stream of life. It is accepted by the psychologists that the establishment of character is a standout amongst the most crucial parts of a human 's life. A personality emergency is a period of investigation and concentrated dissection of diverse methods for taking a gander at oneself. People, particularly adolescents experience the development of personality emergency in which they have battle between their character and part. The harmony in the middle of personality and disarray lies in making a guarantee to a character. Subjective distress, disarray, temperament swings, carrying on, impulsivity, inner self resistances, increased physical and semantic protests are a portion of the manifestations that are said to happen with the move.
