...Erikson’s Theory Micah Schenk AIU Online Abstract Inside this essay the Erikson’s Theory on developmental psychology is described in full detail, the stages how everyone is affected throughout the stages with detail inside the examples. Using personal and televised characters to define how each character fits inside the specific stage. Detail on how the person had managed to progress or did not progress inside the stage and how to overcome the negative effects. Erikson’s Theory There are eight stages in Erikson’s theory. The first stage in Erikson’s theory is trust versus mistrust, and it lasts from birth through 18 months of age. During this stage, a child must successfully develop a relationship to a caregiver and become attached in order to establish trust and security. This is accomplished when the child’s basic needs are met by the caregiver. The child is likely to develop feelings of anxiety and insecurity if their needs are not met. For example, Adeline is only two weeks old at this current time. Adeline has a strong sense of trust to her mother proven by the fact that when her mother is not around Adeline gets scared and cries during this time Emily or I would have to pick her up to give her that comfort again of being held and fed and providing for her needs and therefore is resolving this stage. The second stage, autonomy versus self-doubt, begins at approximately 18 months of age and lasts until...

...Week 1 Ethics Essay Chiana Beard ETH/316 October 8, 2012 Richard Sorrentino Week 1 Ethics Essay Ethics is the basis of many theories and debates. It is the basis of deterring what is right and wrong based on one’s beliefs. Topics about ethics often bring about in-depth discussions about individual characteristics concerning virtues, values, and moral concepts. The Virtue Theory, Utilitarianism, and Deontological Ethics are theories that involve those aspects of ethics. These theories have commonalities; however, there are differences in the theories as well. The Virtue theory often refers to character or ethics. The word “virtue” comes from the Greek word for excellence. This theory suggests one should strive for excellence or perfection. There is a strong correlation between this theory and the U.S. Army motto, “Be All That You Can Be.” Nike’s “Just Do It” also suggests one should push themselves to the limit and strive for perfection. In addition to striving for excellence, one bases the quantity of character on the length of time that one continually achieves that excellence. If one is constantly striving to be good, but slips, have they lost all character and no longer hasethics? The virtue theory suggests it is a collection of actions that develops into who a person becomes over time (Boylan, 2009). Utilitarianism is a group-based theory that suggests one will do what is morally right for the greater good of the team or group involved. It...

...fashion my whims and idylls is my final goal. My dreams for my future occupation are to (probably) finish college, find a studio, team of creative executives and eventually become a deity of sorts. To achieve these goals I have designated a certain path for myself called the: “do this or die plan”. Its implications are fairly personal and most will not be discussed in this essay, but it is fool proof because if not - I will die. Simple. Somewhere upon my winding path I’d want to design clothing. I’ll consider being a creationist focused on clothing at the time. My apparel would not be limited by sizes, ages, or genders. It will only be worn by the brazen and styled by those whom I deem fashionably responsible. The clothing itself would be made to express the tastes of a very latent very fashionably sound corner of your left brain. Another possibility I could see is interior design as a possible career in my future because houses nowadays lack dynamism. Not dynamism in terms of carpet in the kitchen or alligator suede blue couches, but in terms of southern living meets vogue décor. Interior design involve having a since of style (not fashion) and the marriage of tones, texture, patterns and home accessories. Along the meandering path of my life I’d like to dabble in the field of animation in such ways as gaming and film graphics. I’d want to learn three dimensional modeling as well as flash animation to accent a thrilling story-line that would appeal not just to myself, but to...

...Tarsha Strong English 1101/Mrs.Staton Reflective Essay 29 June 2013 A Memorable Bahamas Vacation Its 10:15 am, we are getting ready to board the ship. I am relieved to be standing after sitting in an RV for 10 hours while riding from Georgia to Florida. My aunts, cousins, and my mom are smiling and hugging each other because they are happy to see my family that we have not seen in awhile. We wave goodbye to my uncles as they drive off. As I walk toward the ship I become anxious and excited. I’m holding my luggage and smiling at the attendant. I look at my mom and say, “I can’t believe we are headed to the Bahamas.” We are standing in a long line waiting to check in our entire luggage. The security officers are making sure we don’t have things that are not allowed. Now that we are finished, my mom and I head to our room. We take the elevator to the third floor where our room is located. I open the door to our room and I see two twin beds with cute little animals on them made with towels. My mom has an alligator and I have an elephant. I take a picture and smile because I think this is so cool. Now its time for me to shower, so I sit my luggage on the bed, take out a nice sun dress, and head for the shower. First we head to the top floor of the ship. Everyone must do a safety drill. The captain comes on over a loud speaker and welcomes everyone to the cruise. Then he begins the speech of all the safety rules. The staff members are demonstrating how to use the life...

...The Value and Importance of the Everglades "Lions, and Tigers, and Bears! Oh my!" Just kidding! There aren't any Lions, Tigers, or Bears in the Florida Everglades. The Florida Everglades is home to many fascinating creatures and plants such as pythons, alligators, fish, insects, and mangrove trees. The Everglades is a really important ecosystem and habitat for these plants and animals. They all work together and help each other out. For one example, the mangroves provide housing for fish, and the fish keep poisonous plants off the mangroves. There are many more reasons why the Everglades is so important and read on to see. Biodiversity plays a huge role in the ecosystems of wetlands such as the Florida Everglades. From the article, "Are the Everglades Forever," it says that "Biodiversity is a good thing. Having many different kinds of plants and animals means that species have different choices for survival....

...the human race as imprisoned in the chains of oblivion, unaware of its own inhibited perspective. A more contemporary philosopher, Umberto Eco, also criticized the state of society in a similar fashion in Travels in Hyperrreality; describing the overwhelming trend of “horror vacui.” The allegory of the cave reveals the importance of education in the journey towards enlightenment-only through instruction can individuals recall the inherent knowledge of the Forms. The significance of the allegory is rooted in Plato’s belief that there exist inherent truths hidden under the superficial surface of society that only enlightened individuals can uncover through education. Plato’s allegory of the cave follows as thus: A cluster of prisoners, having been enclosed in a cave since birth, has never laid eyes on any kind of daylight. Furthermore, these individuals are prevented from turning their heads to look to either side by their bonds, and can consequently only envision what lies straight ahead. Lying posterior to the shackled prisoners is a fire which is subsequently anterior to a wall. A collection of statues sojourn on the top of the wall and are manipulated by a separate group of people, hidden from the prisoners’ sight. As a result of the light the fire provides, the statues cast their shadows on the wall that the prisoners are forced to face. The prisoners watch the scenarios that these shadows on the wall act out, and since the shadows are all they can ever see, the prisoners...

...Spike Jonze and Hollywood’s Tug-of-War “The other day, I was lucky enough to be at an event to bring the arts back into schools and got to see an amazing collaboration between Yo-Yo Ma and a young dancer in LA, Lil Buck. Someone who knows Yo-Yo Ma had seen Lil Buck on YouTube and put them together. The dancing is Lil Buck's own creation and unlike anything I've seen. Hope you enjoy.” This is the preface given by Spike Jonze, to a video he filmed in April of 2011. In this video, an L.A. street dancer named Lil Buck performs a style of dance, which is commonly referred to as “gangster walking”, while classical musician Yo-Yo Ma accompanies him on the cello. The performance cannot be compared to anything else – the blend of street dancing and classical music is truly a unique combination. It’s a combination that we don’t see in everyday life, a distortion of reality – which is most likely why Jonze was drawn to the idea. From his early days as a music video director and all throughout his career, Spike Jonze has had a penchant for escaping the confines of reality. From one of his earliest music videos, which plays in reverse, to films like Being John Malkovich and Where the Wild Things Are, in which he literally brings the viewer in to a new reality. This distortion of reality is a mirror of Spike’s obsession with straying from convention, in narrative and filmmaking technique. While Spike and his characters may seek to escape the confines of reality, what they are really seeking...

...Gangstas, Grills, Guns and Georg? The Application of Simmel’s Theory in Analyzing Hip-Hop Fashion If fashion is determined by the elite upper-class and subsequently imitated by the lower classes, why do people imitate Hip-Hop’s style of flat-rimmed baseball caps and oversized jeans – a style that is typically associated with lower socioeconomic classes? Georg Simmel contends that the tension between wanting to imitate or conform versus wanting to distinct one self, dictates the future of fashion in an endless circle of styles coming into fashion and styles going out of fashion. Whether styles last or disappear, the constant remainder is fashion, propelled forward by the need of individuals to constantly distinguish themselves from others, but at the same time a desire to conform and be identifiable by others. I apply Simmel’s theory to the development of Hip-Hop fashion and culture and argue that Hip-Hop fashion originated from a need for distinction; that there is an important shift between imitation and distinction; and that there is a significant change in the type of elite who is imitated, especially in Hip-Hop fashion. Simmel’s Theory on Fashion For Simmel, fashion broadly speaking “is the imitation of a given example and satisfies the demand for social adaptation. . . . At the same time it satisfies in no less degree the need of differentiation, the tendency towards dissimilarity, the desire for change and individual contrast” (Simmel 543). Additionally, Simmel...
