Erik Erikson’s 8 Stages of PsychosocialDevelopment

Stage 8: Maturity

Age: Late Adulthood — 65 years to death

Conflict: Integrity vs. Despair

Important Event: Reflection on
and acceptance of one’s life

Description:

The most important event at this stage is coming to accept one’s whole lifeand reflecting on that life in a positive manner. According to Erikson,achieving a sense of integrity means fully accepting oneself and coming to termswith the death. Accepting responsibility for your life and being able to undothe past and achieve satisfaction with self is essential. The inability to dothis results in a feeling of despair.

Elements for a positive outcome:

The adult feels a sense of fulfillment about life and accepts death as anunavoidable reality.

Elements for a negative outcome:

Individuals who are unable to obtain a feeling of fulfillment andcompleteness will despair and fear death.

Examples:

An aged person may find it necessary to reflect and analyze what they haveaccumulated throughout life and decide what offspring will receive from themupon death.

THE PROS AND CONS OF THE PUBLIC OPTION…

August 12th, 2009
No comments

In “The Perils of the Public Plan,” Paul Starr warns that a public-insurance option could turn into exactly the opposite of what progressives want. Here he discusses the problems with the Prospect’s two other co-founders, Robert Kuttner and Robert Reich. 

Paul Starr:
According to last week’s Washington Post, the public option is the “crux” of the health-reform debate and the “greatest challenge” for Senate negotiators to overcome. That’s an accurate description of the current political scene, but it’s true only because so many people, including members of Congress, are responding ideologically to the ideaof government involvement.

The public option is not the biggest question in reform. Under the proposals being considered, it would be offered only within insurance exchanges at the state and regional level. The far bigger question is how those exchanges work:

HEALTH CARE REFORM MAY SAVE FAMILY HOME

August 12th, 2009
No comments
After my parents passed away back in the 1990s, my siblings and I were forced to sell our family homestead in Rosenhayn to pay for two liens placed on it by Bridgeton Hospital for hospital care. My father died in 1992 at age 62, and my mother died at age 60 in 1997. Both were ineligible for Medicare.

It was not easy selling the house we all grew up in, especially with a new generation of family having recently arrived who will want to see the house we grew up in. But we had no choice.

Which is why I’m in favor of this new health care reform proposal being debated in Congress, with a public option where people such as my parents who couldn’t afford standard health insurance can buy coverage from the government at a much lower cost.

I don’t know how anyone can be against a public option. Those against it say it’s socialized medicine, when in truth you don’t have to purchase the public option if you already have and are currently satisfied with your present coverage. With the public option in the market, and judging by the laws of economics, the rates to your coverage will most likely go down because of the public option creating competition in the market.

If we had this public option when my parents were alive, our family would probably still have our home to share with our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Since we don’t, maybe this opportunity would save some other family’s home from the same fate.

WHO ARE YOU FOLLOWING? WHO OR WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?

August 4th, 2009

WHO ARE YOUR LEADERS? PREACHERS? TEACHERS? POLITICIANS? GURUS? DOCTORS?
 
WHAT IS THEIR MOTIVATION? IS IT PRIDE, IMPRESSING OTHERS, BEING ADMIRED, WANTING MORE POWER, AUTHORITY, MONEY?
 
WHAT DOES YOUR PREACHER WANT OF YOU?  To become a believer?  To trust him in what he/she says?  To believe in the Bible or to believe in God?  To at least bring your offering every week so his salary can be raised?  If you can’t, send it?  To build a large and prosperous church that he will be given credit for and gloat in?  Maybe have his own radio and television station?
 
OR COULD IT BE THAT HE WAS CALLED TO STUDY ALL THE ANCIENT SCRIPTURES, HUMAN NATURE, THE UNIVERSE, SCIENCE, AND SHARE WITH YOU HOW HE IS FINDING GOD SO THAT YOU CAN BE SHARING IT WITH OTHERS?  MORE THAN THAT; HE DOESN’T WANT TO BE THE MIDDLE MAN BETWEEN YOU AND GOD.  HE WANTS YOU TO BE AT ONE WITH GOD, NOT HIM.  HE DOESN’T WORRY ABOUT MONEY OR BUILDING A PHYSICAL CHURCH.  HE SEES IN YOU THE REAL CHURCH AND BY THE POWER OF HIS SPIRIT THAT WHEREVER YOU ARE GOD IS.
 
No matter what your belief or faith, religion or no religion; if you sense the presence of the ultimate cause of you and the entire universe and, out of your gratitude to that Spirit, you assume and want to take care of all that this Spirit (humans and nature) created, YOU ARE ON THE HIGHEST PLANE OF LIFE AND WILL SURVIVE AND OVERCOME ALL YOUR PROBLEMS AND LIVE FOREVER WITH THAT SPIRIT.
 
USING THIS SAME STANDARD, EVALUATE THOSE YOU BELIEVE IN AND FOLLOW, OK?  GOD WANTS TO BE WITH YOU PERSONALLY (this Spirit is already with you, you just have to be aware); NOT THROUGH A MIDDLE MAN.
 
I heard of an old farmer who for years had difficulty leading his hogs from the pin to the slaughter house.  One day he came up with the idea, “Hey, they loved sweet corn.  If I throw the corn out gradually from the pin to the slaughter house they will still think I love and am nourishing them, eat along the way without realizing it end up in the slaughter house.”
 
It worked.

And the Truth will set You Free.”
