Post#3: The high added sugar content in snacks, beverages and baby food is a critical health issue, worldwide. The three articles I retrieved from different sources showed the similar information on packaged food that is highlighted in my first post. One article by Chai et al. of Global News cited the quote of Dr. Hammond, “Canadian kids consume 33 tablespoons of sugar” (Chai et al.). According to this, the major concern related to this sugar consumption is the extra supply of sugar to the body that may lead to obesity and other health problems. Another article authored by Puzic ...

Introduction

Development is a word that describes the process of growth, adaptation, and changes that people undergo during their lifetime characterized by personality, physical, cognitive, socioemotional, and language developments. The work of developmental psychologists helps the society to understand different developmental theories and how they influence life in various stages of life through various development theories. Development theories describe various factors that influence the development pattern of an individual that include hereditary and environmental factors. On the other hand, other psychological experts argue that development is controlled by nature and nurture that combine to influence biological factors. However, psychological developments ...

Introduction

The journey by which an individual develops is both very personal and also very predictable. It is predictable by way of accomplishing certain milestones at particular times. Development is marked by these milestones and through them, an individual's development is able to be termed “normal’ or “abnormal.” However, it is personal in that each person achieves these milestones at different times in their development. The similarities between the development of each person allow for the timeline of development to be documented and analyzed.

They have been a myriad of theorists that have developed theories on cognitive learning stages and human development. Among those theorists have been Erik Erikson, Abraham Maslow, and Jean Piaget. Each of these theorists have had an imperative impact on the way we view cognitive development and physical growth. Some of them focused more on how we interact with others and develop through relationships with individuals as we progress through life. While others, focused on cognitive development that is innately inherited through birth giving us a foundation of which to build upon. Erik Erikson, for example, based his theories ...

There are three pertinent theorists throughout history that have come to shape our cultures and lives in a myriad of ways. The first theorist would be Erik Erikson, who constructed a theory in 1959 based on eight psychosocial stages of development. These stages encompassed “trust, autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity, and ego integrity” (McLeod 1). In relation to adulthood, his theory’s description of love, care, and wisdom best exemplify that level of maturity. Based upon his theory of these stages, effective completion of the individual states can conclude in a person developing a strong and healthy personality ...

Smoking, drinking, overeating and accumulating stressors are behaviors that become pronounced in adulthood though they trace their origins to a much younger age probably around the teenage years. These behaviors do not just crop up out of the blues. They start and develop over a period. The various theories and theorists in this context are keen on pointing out the psychosocial nature of an individual. They show how the actions and expectations of a person conflict with those of society and how that could therefore lead to various behaviors in adulthood. The theories in contexts have their different ways ...

PSYCHOLOGY

Developmental Psychology refers to the learning and explanation of behaviors elicited by human beings during their life span. Life begins at birth and psychologists have various categories that have been used to define certain stages. In childhood, for example there is early, middle, and late childhood. Various psychologists had different explanations for what went on during teenage or adolescent years. Some even refer to this stage as the stage of storm and confusion. This essay summarizes three theories, that of Erik Erikson and Anna Freud, and Sigmund Freud, whilst attempting to shed some light on what they asserted to ...

Although the United States of America became an independent country not so long ago there was a long history that preceded the mentioned event that happened in 1776. In this paper the history of the pre-independent USA will be explored. It is believed that the indigenous people have been coming to America from Asia for thousands of years in the gap between 15 and 50 thousand years ago, when the modern Bering Strait did not yet exist and the two continents were connected with land. Reliable evidence of their presence in the United States was received throughF the findings ...

The Fate of Greenland's Vikings by Dale Mackenzie Brown.

In 1721, Hans Egede, a Norwegian missionary discovered that the Norse were no longer inhabiting the two settlements that they had established around 1000 A.D. Since then there has been many debates on the cause of their disappearance and decline. For long, the theories about their disappearance centered around the oral traditions of the Inuits. The Inuit tradition held that the demise of the Norse was due to the contact between the Inuit and the Norse which was often aggressive (Seaver 1996, 119). In recent years however, owing to expanding archaeological findings and other limited documentary evidence there have ...

Many different things happen during the first two years of one’s life. Different theorists have attempted to conceptualize this, including Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson. The former believed that one went through an oral phase, in which the libido was placed on the mouth, making it a preferred erogenous zone. On the other hand, according to Erik Erikson, this is a time in one’s life that is characterized by a tension between trust and mistrust, especially of the parental figures (258). As a whole, they demonstrate the struggles between the independent person and his or her surroundings. ...

Psychologist Eric Erikson advanced a theory of psychosocial stages of development which has greatly influenced the course of modern psychology. Erickson contended that there are eight phases of life that a person goes through, with each phase resulting in some sort of conflict (McLeod, 2013). According to Erickson, the healthy adult must resolve the conflict, a resolution that ultimately allows passage into the next phase of psychosocial development (McLeod, 2013). With respect to Erikson’s theory, I am now in the midst of the so-called young adult stage (between the ages of 18 and 40), characterized by a conflict ...

<Institution> As people grow from infancy to adulthood, they take on different roles in order to perform specific tasks that would enable them to become better suited to the environment or the society to which they belong. Due to the ever changing nature of human existence influenced by the environment and technological development, these different roles that people take also changes along the passing of generations. During middle adulthood, many people take the role of a romantic partner or a spouse. When a child is conceived and born, these people become parents during middle adulthood. In the past, ...

Child development takes place in discrete phases and ranges from birth to adulthood. These stages of development comprise various interrelated aspects such as socialization, motor skills, language, cognitive ability, emotional aspects, and social interaction. Various theories emphasize on the issues of development such as Vygotsky and Jeane Piaget theories. Piaget's model discusses concerns about the acquisition of knowledge and mechanisms of intellectual development. On the other hand, Vygotsky tended to focus mostly on the influence of culture on social and material structure and language of society (Steinberg & Vandergrift, 2010). Infant development and growth requires a combination of theories to ...

Emotional and social development of children at the age of 8-10 is geared towards adolescence (Murray, 2015). At this stage, peer friendship becomes more vital in their social and emotional development. These children begin to have a sense of independence and a certain level of confidence to solve problems and take risks. The children at this stage also develop self-evaluation capacity and at times laugh at themselves for unknown reasons. The child I observed playing had a number of these characteristics as he belongs to the same age group of transition from a child to adolescence. The child was ...

Explain the Life Span Perspective of Development

The life span perspective of development focuses on individuals’ development through their respective lifespan. It is concerned with who people are and how they gradually gain their identity. Research suggests that psychoanalytic theories attempt to provide insight into an individual’s lifespan development as well as the developmental stages that a person undergoes in their life (Doise, 1998). Ideally, the lifespan perspective offers useful information regarding the way environmental and hereditary factors interact to create the differences in individuals’ lifespan development. The perspective is essential in the study of human development because it provides significant insight into an individual’ ...

With every year human kind gets closer and close to the ideal and advanced world pictured in si-fi films and books where humans are masters of life.

Starting birth, my child, Noah, was quite normal and very much healthy. He was a breastfed child. As a newborn, I allow my partner to be more on hands to him, but I eventually decided to be more proactive in attending to his needs so that he would recognize me as someone he can trust, too. Like most parents, I tried to give him things that will make him more curious about his environment. Starting at 3 months, I supported his interest with his social world. I would take him out to meet new people, and I ...

The architecture of the early 20th century relied heavily on the introduction of new materials which led to the existence of new styles that rejected the notion of social hierarchy and religious affiliation. During this period, the buildings created within the early phase of modernization became so diverse and eccentric yet it was due to this nature that allowed architects to apply all the scientific knowledge in creating functional structures rather than buildings based on the designer's viewpoint. What separates the style of the 20th century from its predecessors was their openness in terms of exploring new materials especially ...

The plight of the black started just before slavery. With the slave trade, the black Americans were exposed torture, oppressions and all kinds of dehumanising things. After the end of slavery, there were hopes that the status of the African Americans will improve and their plights will reduce. However, the plight of the African Americans is getting even worse than ever. The racial discrimination and segregation have become worse than it initially was (Berg 19). Various figures have come upon to fight for the rights of the African Americans but all have ended up failing or being assassinated. The ...

Introduction

One of the dominant concepts in the field of psychology is how humans grow and develop throughout the course of their lifetime. Many theories have been put forward in order to explain the various stages that a human being experiences while growing up. One of the most popular among these theories is the one formulated by Erik Erikson, more commonly known as the psychosocial stages of human development as opposed to Freud’s psychosexual ones (Boeree, 2009). According to Erikson, there are stages that occur within one’s lifetime, and one progresses from one stage to another as the ...

Socio-emotional development is an individual’s, especially children, continuous ability to understand how others feel and to control personal feelings and behavior such that they can get along well with their peers. The foundation on how we feel about ourselves and our relationships and experiences with others is, to a large extent, influenced by socio-emotional development. The quality of relationship given to a child by his primary caregivers is a major determiner of the child’s socio-emotional development. An individual’s feelings of trust, confidence, pride, affection, friendship and humor are all part of their social-emotional development. Social-emotional development ...

Criminal instinction is on the rise especially in the current world. This is perpetuated by the influence of media in the society. What people do not understand is that what is acted in the movies is mostly fiction or fictitious and cannot be done physically. The great impact of digitalization of the world has brought about so many injustices on the real world. Most people now try to relate what they see in the fiction world and at the end; they find their goal plummeted and the repercussions for that becomes very nasty. Media has brought about social injustices ...

Secondary Research

Randi and Erik (2010) analyzed the factors behind the increase in underemployment across Norway with focus on the gender factor. The analysis was based on a survey data by the Labor Force Agency and showed that economic changes in the recent past brought about the changing underemployment levels for both men and women. The labor market in Norway is greatly gender segregated with the processes as well as characteristics of the underemployment differing between the male and the female dominated sectors. In the results, the male dominated sectors are found to be more exposed as well as sensitive to ...

Psychosocial development incorporates the behavioral advancement of an individual from childhood to adulthood. According to Erikson, personality development is based on the attitudes developed by each individual. The concept displayed by Erickson shows that two people in the same age group can present completely different character traits while reacting to similar life situations. Moreover, the manner in which a person carries himself through one stage determines the success of the succeeding stage. Erickson asserts that there is a crisis at the end of every stage as a person transits to the next stage.

In the first stage the baby has a challenge to ...

Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate Tectonics

All the earth processes are a result of energy flow and mass circulation in and outside of the earth system. Plate tectonics is an earth process that involves the movement of the lithosphere caused by internal processes inside the earth’s mantle (Kent C 154). This is as a result of convection currents within the earth’s crust caused by the heat in the crust. This heat in the crust is due to the initial heat during the earth’s formation and through the radioactive process. The earth’s core is made of radioactive elements such as uranium which decay and ...

(1) Data analytics and the big data movement both seeks to use data collected to gain competitive business advantages over a company’s competitors. However, three major differences floats out. First, dig data recognizes the fact that the volume of data from gathered from numerous devices like the internet or mobile devices of companies increases exponentially everyday. With big data, the ability to measure the amount of data will pave way to data better data management. Second, it recognizes that velocity of data created is as important or even more important than the amount of data gathered. Because of the ...

In today’s society, athletes have been using different types of drugs to enhance their performance. But, the excessive use of drugs has a negative impact on the health and wellness of these athletes.

In recent years, the mass media has played a negative and a positive role in the way athletes perceive the use of drugs. The ...

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Introduction

Erik Erikson’s’ views make significant contributions to the field of psychology; this is particularly in the understanding of personality development and related factors. An understanding of his own study of personal development creates an understanding of development of his psychology (Fleming, 2004). Most of Erikson’s psychology work became evident in the post-Freudian era. It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development. However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

Since ancient times, the elusive concept of wisdom has figured prominently in philosophical and religious texts. The question remains compelling: What is wisdom, and how does it play out in individual lives? Most psychologists agree that if you define wisdom as maintaining positive well-being and kindness in the face of challenges, it is one of the most important qualities one can possess to age successfully — and to face physical decline and death. Vivian Clayton, a geriatric neuropsychologist in Orinda, Calif., developed a definition of wisdom in the 1970s, when she was a graduate student, that has served as a foundation for research ...

Introduction

According to Jowett & O’Donnell (1), propaganda is a method of communication which tries to elicit a response that propagates the desired intention of the propagandist. The art of propaganda has been studied in an array of multidisciplinary researches in the fields of journalism, sociology, history, political science and psychology. To study the art of propaganda as history means examining propagandist practices as distinct events and the resultant events as likely effects of propaganda. Nazi films were predominantly propagandist in that they aimed at influencing attitudes on life in a given context, and in terms of particular people and events. Perhaps the ...

Introduction

Psychology is a vast field. There are many laws, principles, and theories that govern the train of thoughts of psychologists and mental health professionals working in the field. Basically, psychology is a branch of science that is concerned with the academic and applied discipline of studying behaviors and mental functions of animals, which in this case, would be humans. Psychology is not only concerned with studying the behaviors and mental functions of an individual because it may also aim to study the behaviors and mental functions of a group or population.

In this paper, I will discuss a challenge I’m currently facing in life in accordance to Erik Erikson’s psychosocial stages. Scholars like Erik Erikson have attempted to provide the theoretical basis of different human development stages. According to Erikson (2013), social interaction is the leading determinant of human behavior and the advancement of personality. Erikson (1959) posits that this process has eight stages. According to his theory, humans are expected to resolve their problems and are thus given a window through which they have to resolve their crises. The results, irrespective of whether they are successful or not are ...

The human development stages include psychosocial, systemic, psychodynamic, existential/gestalt and cognitive stages. Development occurs throughout a lifespan of a human being. Development of any human being begins at the earliest stage which is the prenatal stage and it goes on to after a child is born to adulthood. Psychosocial stage is best presented by Erik Erikson’s theory (Cherry, 2014). It best explains how personalities are acquired through a series of stages by describing how a person’s social experiences impact his/her lifespan. Ego identity development is one of the key elements of Erikson’s theory of psychosocial stage. This ego identity is ...

Facilitator

Project management is a core practice in modern businesses. However, most managers do not understand the significance of this strategic business management practice. Project management is a helpful practice in business because it allows managers to plan for the project (Tria, 2003, p. 3; Dash, 2002, p.127; Ferdows, 2006, p. 8). Through planning, a manager allocates the available resources. Planning is necessary because of the scarcity of resources. Project management enables an organization to execute a plan successfully without making grievous mistakes. A project that goes through all stages of project management can hardly fail (Thamhain, 2012, p. 10). Therefore, project management ...

Abstract

The theories of psychosocial development stress that an individual’s personality is enhanced by social relationships he or she develops from birth to adulthood. These are explained by Erik Erickson’s eight stage theories that describe the conflicts and achievements that present the turning points in an individual’s life. From birth to old age, an individual establishes a sense of trust in others, develops one’s identity in society, and helps the next generation learn skills in preparation for the future. Erickson asserted that in all stages, an individual learns to grow and develop throughout adulthood in a fixed order ...

Introduction

Every child’s development process is unique and complex. Even though children normally develop through predictable levels and milestones, they may at times not proceed through these steps at the same pace. Usually, a child’s development process is largely influenced by his or her environmental factors and the experiences that they gather from it. Understanding the child development is vital because it allows us to appreciate the emotional, social, physical, cognitive and educational progress of the child at a particular level of their growth into adulthood. Various theories attempt to describe every aspect of child development and largely focuses on ...

Human development is process that permits the individual to progress from one stage of development to another.

A notable fact is that as adults develop they indulge in social interaction that further changes their perception towards life. Similarly, the adult learning process is essential to the life of each and every individual, the process provides adults with knowledge that are vital in ...

Among the many problems plaguing society today, one of the most prominent is hunger. Every day, all over the world, people are starving because there is not enough to eat. While one of the primary reasons for this is, they do not have enough money to afford food; the secondary issue is there simply is not enough food. Humans survive on livestock, natural, ad synthetic nourishment in order to survive. Those attempting to survive predominantly from crops experience the most hunger. Crops can suffer, and even die, for many reasons. Weather, pestilence, and even the pesticides designed to keep ...

Did the Rich World Become Rich Using Colonization and Exploitation of the Poor: A Critical Assessment of Theory and Empirical Evidence

Introduction

The rich world tries to forget that the causes of underdevelopment and poverty were slavery, colonization, brutal exploitation and plunder, which for centuries were subjected to different countries.

The universe has never run out of wonderful mysteries, and perhaps one of the greatest mysteries that we will never grow weary of exploring is the mystery of life. In Biology, we learn of the many ways through which life manifests itself in our planet. In Taxonomy, we learn that there are, under different classes and kingdoms, thousands and thousands of names that we use to refer to living things, be it animal, bacteria, protist, or any other life form. This background and context only makes more interesting another one of those mysteries of the universe that we have ...

The growing plethora on the debate regarding the act of compensating collegiate student athletes has interest not only sports aficionados, the academe but the society in general. Many people question the practice as somewhat inappropriate and a precursor to encouraging the youth to lose focus on their academics and their primary purpose for education. Many believe that students are being lured to participate in sports because of the financial reward that they can get from becoming a student athlete. Thus, students’ priorities are divided because of this practice. In addition, many assumes that when a student deemed that the rewards of athletic ...

Connection to Play Experiences

Introduction In putting the different development theories on a table, it could be understood how one works, how one differs from the other, what brought to its existence and to whose theory can you relate your development most. With regards to my play experiences, I find I can relate to Erik Erikson and his theory called the “Theory of Psychosocial Development,” because it is the most accurate in explaining how my play experiences helped me develop into who I am today. David Shaffer gives a brief discussion of Erikson and this theory in his book, entitled, “Social and Personal Development,” ...

In the article Rental study shows young adults leaving nests, which was published in the Chicago Tribune on October 18, 2013, Umberger (2013) reported that with the economy slowly improving, more and more young adults are moving out of their parents’ homes and are looking to rent their own places. As a backgrounder to this article, the trend among young adults during the economic recession was that many of them went back to live with their parents upon realizing that the economy didn’t allow them to afford their own apartments or rentals. However, the trend that rental companies and ...

Psychology is a complex subject, often coinciding with constructs of sociology. Many psychologists have lent their theories to sociology in an effort to explain how units of people bind together and why people act the way they do. One unit in particular is a family, and the roles they fill are sometimes known as gender roles. Sigmund Freud has very precise views on gender roles, sexuality, and how it impacted the family unit. For example, Freud believed that women lived in constant envy of men. Erik Erikson also had theories on gender roles, beginning in childhood, involved role confusion. His theories ...
