Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory was influential in psychology from the mid-to late-twentieth century. The psychosocial development theory focuses on the many stages of life and the relationships that people have with other people at each level. Erik Erikson proposed a theory that explores how our interactions with others impact the development of our personalities or the formation of our identities. Erikson’s psychosocial development includes an identity crisis at the adolescent stage. Which begins at the age of 12 and continues all the way up to adulthood, when a person feels like they can be an adult. This is when a person struggles to figure out who they are, where they fit in society, and what their role is in the lives of others around them. Friends, peers, and teens in high school, for example, are the most important relationships for them at this stage. The adolescent crisis is the finding of one’s identity or the fall into role uncertainty. Their friendships and peer relationships might help people discover who they are, but they can also cause them to get confused about their roles. In this video, Matt also underlines the need of developing a positive identity and resolving an identity crisis by knowing who we are in order to be successful as adults.

Maree, J. G. (2021). The psychosocial development theory of Erik Erikson: critical overview. Early Child Development and Care, 191(7-8), 1107-1121. https://doi.org/10.1080/03004430.2020.1845163
This study discusses Erikson’s psychoanalytic theory that emphasizes the importance of eight stages in human development that all people have to work through successfully in order to lead integrated, meaningful, and fulfilled lives. Those stages are:
1. Basic trust vs Mistrust
2. Autonomy vs Shame and Doubt
3. Initiative vs Guilt
4. Industry vs Inferiority
5. Identity vs Role Confusion, in this stage children need the continued support and encouragement of significant others to help them achieve an adequate sense of self (who they are) and become more independent of others
6. Intimacy vs Isolation
7. Generativity vs Stagnation
8. Ego Integrity vs Despair
This study aimed to extend current insights on his fundamental study and perspectives on human development. It emphasizes Erikson’s conceptualization of the concept of ‘identity crisis,’ as reflected in his eight-stage development framework, and reveals that his contribution to the trio of self-construction, career construction, and life design theories has largely gone overlooked. It demonstrates the relevance of Erikson’s recognition of the need of mastering essential developmental tasks in the early years and, more specifically, emphasizes the importance of evaluating the nature and influence of people’s idiosyncratic identity crises during career guidance. Erikson considered identity formation to be the most important developmental task in adolescence, particularly during the third, fourth, and fifth stages (when children transition from early childhood to adolescence and adolescence to early and emerging adulthood). These later life stages are typically when fields of study, careers, and/or jobs are chosen. This study is related to the video because it provides more understanding about Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
This video discusses what guarantees that we can reasonably believe in ourselves as the same persons over the lifespan. A standard assumption about what makes me ‘me’ is represented by their own existence body. But what if someday I lose my leg? or my hands? would I still be me? Many people answer, yes, sure. Others think memories are the thing that represents their identity, but what if I lose my memories? What if you lose your memories? Would I still be me? Yes sure. Some will think that the brain is guaranteed their personal identity. The thing is what part of the brain is most critical to being me? Imagine that someday I lose my ability to speak English or forget how to cook indomie, am I still myself? Most of us answered yes sure. This means that technical abilities are not very close to the core of personal identity. Over the lifetime something remained and that thing we can call our character is our identity. The fascinating idea here is that personal identity seems to consist not in bodily survival nor in the survival of memory. But in the survival of what we call ‘character’. An English philosopher John Locke said personal identity is made up of what he called sameness of consciousness. So the essence of personal identity seems to come down to values, inclinations, and temperament.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The speaker persuades us to consider where our own identity is located.

In the video, we discuss how our character defines our own identity. Similarly, this article discussed Jo, who lost her memories of her first twenty years of life, yet their friend said she acted similarly before and after her seizure. As a result, we might conclude that our identity is determined not by our body, memories, or talents, but by how we interact with other people and under specific conditions. However, the author of this article appears to disagree, stating that “we think it’s the same me as that one who woke up this morning, the same one as that little girl who adored playing with Meccano.” But it isn’t. It may be similar.” She thinks that we are not the same as we were in the past since we are growing, and each time we are new and somewhat different.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
The speaker told us four stories about exploring identity. The first story is about Anna Claudia. Her grandma had a horrible arterial problem that caused a double leg amputation. Young Anna’s life was infused by that grief, and as a result, she determined that no one would suffer as her grandmother had. She studied to become a doctor and qualified on the day her grandmother died. And She is known as an exceptional palliative care doctor across Brazil.
The second story is about Bekwynhka, a warrior from the Kayapo tribe, whose grandpa died protecting his lands and traditions from the encroaching colonist. He reimagined his place in his community as a warrior counselor, which opens up the possibility of preserving their culture, traditions, and land. The third story is about Luila, an energetic lady who has observed both the poverty and opulence of Brazil firsthand. To make a difference, she establishes the “Beleza Natural” company, a cosmetics company. The last is Eliane’s story. She was astounded at the fact that her father who was blind to words, at 85 still made an annual pilgrimage to Eliane’s first teacher, Luisa, who teach Eliane to be a wordsmith and now she becomes an award-winning journalist

The purpose of this narrative research was to look at how student teachers in an English teacher education program built their teacher identities. Three female (Juanita, Laura, Luisa) and three male (Lucas, Ral, Antonio) STs between the ages of 20 and 25 took part in this study. The findings demonstrated that the building of teacher identity is a dynamic process involving a constant construction of who we are and who we could become as a result of our contact with social actors. According to the study, individuals socially formed a teacher identity through engaging with others, in this case with the English teacher education program. As a result, the assistance of numerous stakeholders and social actors such as previous and present instructors, practicum supervisors, cooperating teachers, students, and peers was critical. This narrative study has underlined the creation of teacher identity as an ongoing process that requires involvement in social behaviors. To build their teacher identity, the participants must go through this education program’s five monthly procedures. From this study we can reflect that identity is a never-ending process, because, in this context, the participant will not stop developing their identity after only five months, but will continue to do so even after becoming a teacher. Furthermore, identity is a commitment that you decide and will be established with the assistance of your surroundings or community.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
The speaker discusses how identities are socially constructed. She argues that you can not construct your identity by yourself, you need help from others. She stated that identity is all about choices, and the more you have to say about yourself, the better. There is nothing static about identity; it is all about change and being able to develop and progress. Nothing about high school group projects, identity is more like athletic teams.
Chuck Palahniuk wrote nothing of me is original, I am the combined effort of everyone I’ve ever known. How will you know about yourself if you don’t learn it from others? How would you know that you lift your eyebrows when you are amazed or that you become genuinely enthusiastic about something if it wasn’t for others? You can only know because you engage with others. The speaker also suggested four strategies for developing your identity with others. First, receive. You must be open and attentive to your surroundings and what others say to you. You must pay attention to how you react to situations. Second, accept in. After you’ve gathered all of that information, you must accept yourself and your surroundings. Third, express yourself. Show the world who you are by doing the things that define you. See yourself as you are, and others will see you as you are. Finally, repeat your identity.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The purpose of this video is to talk about the conception of what identities are and how they are constructed by other people.

The speaker is Florencia Escobedo Munoz, a tenth grade student at Colegio Anglo Colombiano. I think the video is quite trustworthy because it’s from TED and but perhaps not trustworthy enough since the speaker brings it up with her own experience.
What the speaker’s attitude or tone towards the subject? Does he/she seem to agree or disagree with it? Explain your answer.
The speaker absolutely agrees that identity can not be constructed without other people. She mentions that you will not know-how is your reaction to something if you are not meet other people. She comes up with a parable about the importance of social and people we met to construct our identity as a question “Have you met yourself as you have met others?”. And at first, she agrees that identity is like a group project where everyone is to collaborate but no one does. So she argues that identity is the complete opposite.
Does the speaker put forward valid or strong arguments? How does he/she support the key points? Explain your answer.
She backs up her main ideas with personal experience, quotations, and analogies to make the speech more understandable

What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
The speaker has talked about how we perceive guys. What do we expect from them? What role do they have in society? What are you afraid of them? The speaker claims that male identity is in crisis right now. He encourages guys to communicate about their mental health and struggles, telling them that it is alright to be sad, but society still perceives males through the lens of masculinity. Expect men to be protectors, fixers, and self-sufficient, and men should expect the same of themselves. This is the root cause of men’s mental health problems and suicide attempts. There is no other way to solve this problem except to acknowledge all aspects of masculine identities, such as competition, autonomy, stubbornness, and other traits that we frequently do not allow men to discuss or observe. We need to accept men like we accept women that have different forms, classes, and educational levels. We can’t characterize guys as dangerous, abusive, or aggressive. Not all men should be feared, and not all men are emotionally stable enough to deal with all of their problems. Understanding and embracing their feelings may be inhibited by their male identity. Accepting even a single happy emotion seemed like weakness to them.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The purpose of the speaker is to persuade us to stop look men through the lens of masculinity and expect men as perfect or autonomous and successful people. Because they have their own struggle, they are not perfect and also need help sometimes

Instead of finding some articles related to masculinity, I found an interesting presentation from the University of Washington Tacoma. The title is “The Impact of Toxic Masculinity On Men’s Mental Health”. This presentation discusses what is toxic masculinity and how it impacts men’s mental health. Masculinity is described as possessing the typical characteristics of a male. Masculine characteristics include being forceful, powerful, in charge, and courageous. As a result of that notion of masculinity, toxic masculinity is the concept of masculinity exaggerated. Masculinity becomes toxic when it hurts one’s mental health or the mental health of others. An example of toxic masculinity is never showing any emotions since emotions are perceived as a feminine attribute, which might portray the male as fragile and showing weakness. The presentation also shows that the suicide rate in 2018 is higher in men than women. The stigma associated with seeking help is one of the reasons why more males commit suicide. If a man goes to therapy or tries to improve his mental health, he is viewed as weak. To lessen the impact of masculinity on men’s mental health, the presentation advises that society push the message that it’s alright not to be okay.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
The video talks about the speaker’s loss of her identity. The speaker is a soccer player, however, she was no longer a soccer player after 18 years since she lost in the last game. She hasn’t eaten in a few months since the experience has been too tough for her to accept. When she looked in the mirror one night and saw that her muscle had vanished, she began to wonder how many years of the continuous effort to acquire strength, muscle, and self-confidence could all go so fast. She was broken, but she wouldn’t admit it. Loss of identity is not limited to soccer or sports. You may have experienced this loos after graduating from high school or college.
What she gained from that experience is she realized that now, we have lost the attention of our internal validation. The voice that says ‘I’m good enough because I’m good enough’ instead of ‘I’m good enough because somebody claims that I’m good enough. We used to look for outside validation, such as how many likes you got on an Instagram post. This period of identity loss should be embraced, and the process is one that only you can know.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The speaker wishes to notify us that we may have lost our internal validation and that we must learn to listen more effectively. Internal validation is more significant than external validation in this case. The speaker claims she has no idea how to live without external validation. However, this does not imply that you have filled your Instagram or Facebook profile with photos of your life that you are not truly living.

What the speaker’s attitude or tone towards the subject? Does he/she seem to agree or disagree with it? Explain your answer.
She seems to agree that internal validation is not easy to manage because she struggles with it daily, but that does not mean it is impossible to aware of or listen to your internal validation comes from your heart
Does the speaker put forward valid or strong arguments? How does he/she support the key points? Explain your answer.
Jeannie reinforces her main argument with her personal experience of losing her identity and listening to her internal affirmation.

https://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/memberarticles/i-dont-know-who-i-am-anymore-losing-my-identity
This article discusses that losing identity can be a long process over a period of months or years, but can also happen suddenly following a major life event or trauma. It might be because of changes in the workplace, loss of a job or profession, loss of a role that once defined us, as a child, as a parent, or else. We are more inclined to seek our sense of self-worth from others when we lose our identity. Our perception of value and self-worth, as well as our sentiments of confidence, suddenly are all affected by external elements such as our physical beauty, success, position, money, and even celebrity. As a result, we seek reinforcement and praise from others in order to feel good about ourselves, however, our sense of self – our ‘identity – should not be based on what others think of us. You may have a desire for social approval and comfort from others. If you have low self-esteem, you may hate yourself and seek self-worth from external sources and relationships, which have become increasingly necessary, and often detrimental, in order to make us happy.
The article stated that your emotional well-being depends on how you feel about yourself, as a result of the relationship you have within yourself. The realization that you have ‘lost’ your identity is the first step in regaining it. The article recommends going to therapy and counseling to address the question “who am I?” to identify and explore oneself rather than relying on the external affirmation of others.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
The speaker discussed many sides of a person can be. Firstly, she talks about how people be different when they are online for example, on the Facebook page or Instagram. The speaker tells us about the new concept of ‘online self, which is a part of yourselves in the online world, for example, you have been six years on Twitter, then your online self is six years old and still growing and you don’t really know about him. She also talks about how people behave differently when they are with their boyfriend or mum or nephew or when they are with themselves. This discussion leads back to the title of this video, which identity is your identity? Which one is truly you? What I can conclude from the speaker, Emma Gannon, is that all of that side, all of that behavior is parts of you. You are not separated. You might be unclear about which one of you is genuinely you since you have many sides of personality, but Malcolm Gladwell says that if you are not contradicting yourself, you are not living.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s goal is to talk about the new challenges of having an online and offline identity, as well as the dangers of relying on your online presence to define who you are.
How trustworthy is this video? Who is the speaker? What is the source? Do you think the source and the speaker are trustworthy?

I believe she is trustworthy since she is an expert on the issue she is discussing, which is social media.
What the speaker’s attitude or tone towards the subject? Does he/she seem to agree or disagree with it? Explain your answer.
The speaker is agree about the point that a person can not be separated. Even if you act differently when you meet your grandmother or father, or when you are online, or when you are at a pub or on stage, you are still you

The influence of self-identity on social support, loneliness, and internet addiction among Chinese college students
This study examined the effect of self-identity on internet addiction and investigated the influence of social support and loneliness as mediators of self-identification and internet addiction in college students.
364 students from the Guangdong Province, China, were participants
The study discovered that college students’ self-identity influenced their internet addiction not only directly, but also indirectly through social support and loneliness
We discussed in the videos section how it will be difficult for people who don’t know who they are to build meaningful relationships. And this study found that college students’ self-identity had a direct impact on their internet addiction, as well as an indirect impact through social support and loneliness. The more lonely a person is, the more likely he or she is to use the Internet as the main, or the only, way of making friends and receiving psychological support; and the more likely he or she is to become addicted to the Internet. The opposite is also true. As a result, we might conclude that while we are struggling with identity crisis issues, we may also be struggling with internet addiction. And the more we are addicted to the internet or lack social support, the more likely we are to experience an identity crisis. As a result, it is critical to solving our identity crisis.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
The speaker is Ryan Romano. He discusses how we deal with an identity crisis. He talks about how we are struggling to answer a simple question “who am I?”. That is a simple question, yet it is the most difficult question we have ever faced. And when we can’t answer it, we cover it up with our fears because we don’t know who we are, which leads to the failure to have meaningful connections with others. In part, sadness and anxiety are attributed to lack of meaningful relationships. Unfortunately, today’s teenagers are more likely to consider suicide as a solution. What we can do to find a solution is to confront that question. Who are you? Who do you want to become? What would allow you to live an abundant and joyful life? What things make you feel really happy when you wake up in the morning?. The speaker suggests some things to take as a first step toward resolving our identity dilemma. Write down 10 things you like about yourself, ten things that make you smile, ten things that entirely fill your heart, and ten things that reinforce your worth.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s purpose of delivering this speech is to inform the audience how to deal with an identity crisis

‘What’s an Identity Crisis and Could You Be Having One?.
This article is talking about what is an identity crisis is, the symptoms, and how to overcome it. Because an identity crisis is not a diagnosable ailment, there are no usual “symptoms,” such as a cold or flu. consider the following symptoms that you may be going through an identity crisis:
Symptoms of identity crisis:
You’re doubting your identity in general or in respect to a specific part of your life, such as relationships, age, or work.
You’re going through a lot of personal conflicts because you’re not sure who you are or what your position in society is.
Big changes have recently occurred that has affected your sense of self
You’re searching for more meaning, reason, or passion in your life. It’s completely normal to question who you are, especially since we change throughout our lives. However, when it begins to affect your daily thinking or functioning, you may be having a crisis of identity.
Decreasing motivation and apathy toward education, work, and life in general
Some ways to treat identity crisis:
Look inward and explore who you are. Take some time to go within and ask yourself some questions about what you like and don’t like anymore. Ask yourself these question and see if you can answer them over time and if the answers help you figure things out. What characteristics and qualities describe you? How has this evolved over time? What are your interests, passions, and hobbies? Are you doing what you like to do? What’s your value? You don’t have to know all of the answers and the answer may change from year to year or decade to decade.
Search for joy and other ways to cope. What makes you happy? What gives your life a sense of purpose and joy? Search hobbies that keep you going in life
Find support. Having good social support can impact how well you manage with major life changes, pressures, or identity issues. You can find support from friends, partners, and family members, your community or a support group, especially when dealing with a new health issue, mental health group or individual or individual therapies
Ignore internal and external judgment. Other people’s expectations, as well as our own, may have a significant impact on how we feel. Don’t allow society’s expectations define who you are or what you should enjoy. Your self-perception is important to your general well-being, and spending time and energy on judgemental thinking will get you nowhere. It may take some time for the people you care about to accept any changes you make, but you’ll be happier in life if you stay true to yourself.
