Erikson first stage is trust versus mistrust. The stage is about people and their influences, when a baby comes out of its mother womb the first person the baby trust is the mother. The baby feel warm and comfort let alone safe in their arms. But when the baby is put in the another arms it begin to cry because the baby doesn't know that person this is where trust and the mistrust come in to the point where the baby sense who to trust and who's not to trust.

"Babies need to develop a balance between trust, which lets them from intimate relationships, and mistrust, which enables them to protect themselves."pg (150) which I think it's very important especially in today world because you don't want to put your baby in wrong hands of someone you and the baby don't trust.

Erikson second stage is autonomy vs. shame and doubt. This stage is about how children gain their independence slowly at a young age when they become curious around everything that around them. Where they want to know is it okay to do this or is okay to do that which create doubts and when they don't take a risk or do take it they start became shameful for what they did or not do. For instance my mom told me when I was toddler I use to get into everything like she would tell me I was mess an absolute mess, but very independent. When I was in my terrible twos I would throw temper-tantrums there were time she would spank me on the butt for acting a fool in public or she would resolve this situation by trying to calm me down instead of give in to my tantrums. "Having come through infancy with a sense of basic trust in the world and an awakening self-awareness, toddlers begin to substitute their own judgement for their caregivers." pg (156) It's true I met some toddlers that have their own judge of character when they met strangers that's friend with their caregivers.

Erikson third stage is initiative vs guilt is about finding purpose for yourself. This is the begin when you become a preschooler at first school at six years old then you start wanted to try new things like learning how to play hopscotch or learning to play with students like game of tag or hide and seek. But this stage is little similar to stage two instead of thinking it's about doing it. In this stage you actually do what you want to do then think about the consequences after it. Some ended with positive outcomes and negative outcomes. My mom told me when I was in my toddler stage I wasn't afraid to try new things like she told me I would try anything like finger painting, playing blocks, exploring the classroom, reading books and etc. "Preschool children can do- and want to do-and want to do-more and more. At the same time, they are learning that some of the things they want to do meet social approval, whereas other do not." I agree with those because every preschooler is their own person some will have guilt for they did there are some without guilt and more initiative.

Erikson fourth stage is industry vs. inferiority this is a stage where children are school-age like middle school student where they moving up in the world like learning how to be their own individual. They get learn subjects they get to learn that they didn't learn as kids. They get to learn different language like French, Spanish, German and other foreign language they can speak when they going to traveling to see the world. They can learn about science, math, english, social studies. It give them good insight of what the real world and business world is like how you have to be on point, made sure the work is done, and teach them how to fully prepare themselves when they go to school then in future when they goes to work and pay own their bills. "Developing a sense of industry, by contrast, involves learning how to work hard to achieve goals." pg (275) But when it comes down inferiority that would be downfall for most kids because they would be question their worth for instance Am I Worthless? Do I have what it takes? Did I did my best." To resolve this issue I believe they should think about the progress they're making instead of what they are not doing right. Everything and everyone is not perfect.

Stage 5 : Ego-Identity vs. Role Confusion

# data[].attributes.body
Erikson fifth stage is identity vs. identity confusion is a stage where the kids who are in their preteen to the point in their life where they ask themself this question : Who Am I. There comes a time in a person life where they would ask themselves Who Have You Become? For instance are you happy with yourself? What can you change about yourself? "The time period that adolescence provides, allow young people to search for commitments to which they can be faithful." pg (336) I could relate this quote I remember when I was getting older people telling me I need to do this. People telling me I need do that but never ask what Serita want to do what would make Serita happy? It is Serita choice. When I had people make decision for me it would taking away my voice like I didn't have the right to speak up or make my choices I felt like I was living their life and their rules instead of mine. That made me ask question about myself till I hit my 20s to finally live for me by own identity.

Erikson sixth stage is intimacy vs. isolation. This is stage is love which is very interesting topics because love could mean anything for example a love for mother or a love for your father or any other relative, love for yourself or love for friends or all the above. I think in my opinion for this stage it is important to love yourself because the more you love yourself you can show love for other people as a lover, family, and as a friend. That way a person like yourself won't feel isolated, depressed, rejected or neglected. "Person seeks to make commitments to others or may suffer from isolation and self-absorption."(pg 11) I agree with this quote because I'm myself in this age since I'm 21-years-old going on 22 in October this year that my problem I always try to make commitments to others instead of making a commitment for instance If I want to do something for me like read a book or write or worst clean my room I don't commit to it when it commit to mothers or her sister I have no choice but to commit when it comes to running errands like going to store or taking care of my cat like buying litter, food, provide her new home since she stay with us for a few months. I believe how this situation will resolve instead of focusing on others we should focus on ourselves.

Erikson seventh stage is generativity vs. stagnation. This stage is about production and care. From page 11 of the text book "Mature adult is concerned with establishing and guiding the next generation or else feels personal impoverishment." I think it mostly about maturity and responsibility you have when you're getting wiser. In life things are easier when you're younger but when you get older you have to take it one day at a time. I'm not this stage I'm in my early 20s if I was in this stage how would I resolve this before I hit this stage in their future I focus on my flaws and work my way through them. My mother told me my biggest flaw that could lead to stagnation from me to the next generation is procrastination. I wait till' the last minute to do something instead of doing it on time. If I could how to break the procrastination on myself and I can help guide the next generation to break on procrastination cycle on themselves it won't continue on.

Erickson eighth stage is integrity versus despair. This stage is about wisdom in the late age. It look like a self-reflection for yourself for instance are you satisfied with everything you done in life? or do you have any regret of what you did in life? I say before I'm not in this stage but if I was in stage in the future I would resolve this by thinking more about the good times that I had on earth. The bad times I might a few regrets but forgive myself since I can't change them. For the book pg 11 of this stage "Elderly person achieves acceptance of own life, allowing acceptance of death, or else despairs over inability to relieve life."To resolve of having any despair I think every elderly people think of their life while going through picture albums and old videotapes seeing the life they had and achievement they have made along with the wisdom they have endure.
