All papers will be 2-3 pages long (not including your cover page). They need to be double-spaced and be
in size 12 font with one inch margins using a standard font (don’t try and use a bigger font to make your
paper longer, I will mark you down). All parts of each option need to be covered in your paper. The
paper is due on the date listed on the syllabus.
Option 1- Erikson’s theory of development (Covered in chapter 8)
According to Erikson we pass through 8 stages throughout life and if we do not successfully transition
through these stages we will encounter difficulties and failures in our future. In this paper you will
answer the following three points for each of the 8 stages.
1. Explain the stage and the challenge you face in each
2. An example of what someone might do if they successfully master each stage
3. Explain the problems someone might face if they do not master each stage
Once you have done this for each of the 8 stages I would like you to tell me whether you agree or
disagree with Erikson’s theory of development and why you feel that way. (This answer should be no
more than a paragraph. The explanation of the points above should be the bulk of your paper)
