For this assignment, you will write a 5–7-page (approx. 1,700 – 2,300 words) page paper that outlines Erikson’s 8 Stages of Development. For each stage define and describe in your own words what occurs during this stage. Then provide an example that you create that demonstrates a person at that stage. You may fictionalize your example or use a real-life example of that stage. You will complete this process for each of Erikson’s first eight stages. Each stage should be about ½ a page in your explanation and then about ¼ page with your example. The last page should be a general discussion of what would occur if a person were to get stuck at one stage. Provide several examples of what “getting stuck” would look like. (Note: you do not need to provide an example of “getting stuck” for each stage.) Do not forget to write an abstract, introduction paragraph and a conclusion paragraph. Minimum of three references. Paper should be in APA format and include a title page, abstract, and reference page where you learned about Erikson’s work. Submit paper in Brightspace by the assigned due date. *Must be in .docx, .doc, .rtf, or pdf format. If I am not able to open the assignment, you will receive 0 points. Be sure it is saved in one of the above- mentioned formats. *
