2. Discuss Erikson's first five stages of life, infancy through adolescence, with a focus on the adolescent "identity crisis"

Discuss in a 3 page APA-style paper:

1. What are the significant relationships in each of the first five stages of a person's life? How do changes in these relationships reflect social and psychological changes in a person's life?

2. Describe an identity crisis you have struggled with in your own life. As you define your own identity, what are the different roles you must integrate? (Examples: daughter, teammate, worker, student, or boyfriend.) Where do you find inspiration? (Examples: specific role models, events, or beliefs.) Describe pressures that can make it difficult to define your own personality and beliefs.

3. Look closely at Erikson's fourth stage. Do you think he correctly identifies the primary struggle for school-aged children? From your own experience, do you think there might be another way to explain the fundamental changes that occur during this stage of life?
