Document Summary

We all essentially start out the same as infants so how do we become such different adults: erikson"s 8 stages of social development; development of how we interact w/other ppl.

But not every culture is directed toward the goals on the right; stages are based the right ie. trust vs mistrust heavily on western ideology. It"s not a universal model; there"s a western bias in studying psych. From ages 2-3 toddlers are developing their sense of self and autonomy wearing pink or yellow sweater. Western cultures try to encourage this by giving their children choices; Child restraint is considered intrusive b/c you"re no allowing child to develop own freedom. Chinese culture make choices for the children w/o intervention of parent one is considered insensitive. Children develop to be tentative which is adaptive to their environment.
