Document Summary
We all start from the same place, we might be in different parts of the world, but we all start in the same place. When we come out of the womb we don"t know anything, but then as time progresses we develop culture. Ericson put forward different stages of psychosocial development. In old age we have ego integrity, where we look back and see if we are satisfied with out life. A lot of the stages are based on pursuing your own goals, and if you don"t accomplish these things it will result in bad things. Psychologist will argue that this is a very biased perspective. When you are a toddler you are developing autonomy or guilt and shame. However in the chinese culture, the child is always attached to the parent, we might think that this is intrusive. But in the chinese culture, they don"t develop doubt and shame, because they are developed different, given everything by their parents.
