Many times in life there are obstacles that some people are unable to overcome, yet there are some people who have the ability to overcome these obstacles in life. In Jeannette Walls’ memoir, The Glass Castle, tells us about a girl who was in poverty with a father that was very paranoid and logical, and a mother who is free-spirited. Even though she went through hardships she was still able to learn lessons, and was able to push forward to become a remarkable author. Although human resilience has multiple definitions, I believe it is the ability to keep pressing forward because in the book The Glass Castle Jeanette Walls pushed through obstacles to become a famous author.…
According to Erikson a crisis indicates a turning point in life, “a crucial period of increased vulnerability and heightened potential” (Erikson. 1978 p. 5). A developmental crisis results from the interaction between genetic development and social influences. Erikson’s theory states that…
People are broken creatures. We are invalid, corrupt, and imperfect. We start out on wobbly feet and frail bones, readily eager to take on the world, unafraid of anything and everything. Starting out in life, we are unsure, unafraid, and most of all, unaware. We are oblivious of the world at a young age and as we grow, we lose our innocence as well as ourselves. We are not born damaged, we are raised that way.…

The society we live in today is so different than that of World War II. In that era the biggest threat of destroying society was the atomic bomb. In these times of today we face so many different threats of terrorism from other countries and from within our own cities. Even more than just terrorism, today’s society faces some many threats from within itself, such as Ganges in the inner cities, to the fall of inner city government through the influence from the sales of illegal drugs.…

Mankind tends to react to most situations balefully. According to Mark Twain’s The Lowest Animal, “man is the cruel animal (text 5).” For instance, consider the time when man “shuts…
The world is unsettled. There seems to be continuous conflict at every turn. The feeling of being unsettled creates fear. The greatest levels of fear in the short-run come when one does not feel assured of one’s safety and one’s family's safety. The fear of the unknown is the most tangible fear for the long-term, that is, the feeling of terror of what lies ahead. Everyone wants freedom from fear, particularly the fear of the unknown and the feeling of one’s lack of safety. Unfortunately, with a continuous flow of unrest and unsettling around the world, we continue to feel fear. Our leaders do what they can to minimize this unsettled feeling.…
Abcarian and Klotz define the human condition as, “Man strives to give order and Meaning to his life, to reduce the myster and unpredictability that constantly threatens him. Life is infinitely, more complex and surprising than we imagine, and the categories we establish to give it order and meaning are, for the most part, “momentary stay against confusion.” At any time, the equilibrium of our lives, the comfortable image of ourselves and the world around us, may be disrupted suddenly by something new, forcing us into Painful reevaluation. These disruption create pain, anxiety and even terror but also wisdom and awareness.”…
If all goes well, the parts of society produce order, stability, and productivity. If all does not go well, the parts of society then must adapt to recapture a new order, stability, and productivity. For example, during a financial recession with its high rates of unemployment and inflation, social programs are trimmed or cut. Schools offer fewer programs. Families tighten their budgets. And a new social order, stability, and productivity occur.…
Each of Erikson’s stages involves a crisis, with some balance of either a successful/positive or an unsuccessful/negative resolution. Stages are built on one another cumulatively. The negative or unsuccessful resolution of one stage may lead to conflicts in later stages, making these more difficult to resolve in a positive manner. However, a more negative resolution resolution of a stage may be modified by experiences later in life.…
