Ericksons 8 stages of development gives you a bit of an insight on how humans develop from the time their born until death. When going through all the stages one applies them to themselves to see where they are and some feel as if they understand Ericksons stages because we have already gone through some. Although I feel like each stage can be mixed or change its very helpful in
understanding students and adolescents. Its good to know of these different stages because this way we know how to help the child that we are working with. We have some idea of what to do and maybe guide them.
The four identity status, helps us to feel and understand how many of us have felt many times. youth especially adolescents face this. They are not sure who they want to be, or what they want to be, they struggle with reality and making choice. This is not all students but we have all been there in that spot and moment in which we question whether or not we were meant to be where we are. Some of us still struggle to feel happy with who we are. and that's part of life. But these are the things we are going to face. We are going to meet teens and adolescents who stubble with accepting who they are and feeling comfortable. and we will be here to guide them and help them. We need to help direct them so that they don't feel as lost and can accept and be happy with who they are.
After reading all of this and thinking about I feel as if Bruce wayne aka Batman is stuck somewhere in intimacy and isolation and generatively vs stagnation. I feel like he is stuck there because he always have to fight himself on whether or not he wants to be Batman. He has intimacy issues because of the whole batman persona. Not only because of batman but because of everything he has gone though in life. He fights with the whole idea of generatively vs stagnation. He is bruce wayne he a bachelor and he is supposed to be this guys whom is supposed to know his business, is smart and a playboy. But in all actuality he loves solitude and he is the kind of person who likes to be challenged. I also feel as if he doesn't have identity achievement because he hasn't accepted who he is, he struggles with choice of staying batman or letting him go and living a 'normal' life. He hasn't accepted it or embraced it he just lives with it.
