Discussion

In this third module, we are discussing the human socialization process and how it influences our psychosocial development. Identify and describe Erikson’s stages of development as each applies to your own personality formation. How did success at one stage prepare you for meeting the next challenge?  What do you anticipate for stages you have not yet reached?As you progressed through each stage, how did the agents of socialization change as to their level of influence?  For any stages you have not yet reached, which agent(s) do you predict will be the most influential?Look in the Argosy University online library and the Internet for information on “feral children.” Explain why feral children are used as examples of young people for whom the socialization process has been stopped..
