How does one achieve the good life? What stages do we undergo throughout our life to achieve happiness? Erikson answers these questions by emphasizing on the dual role of culture and society in the development of one’s character..Born: June 15, 1902 in Frankfurt Germanydied May 12, 1994.

Our presentations focuses on the good life in relation to developmental psychology. We bring into question how one can achieve the good life, and we address the developmental stages one undergoes throughout their life to achieve happiness. We chose to angle our presentation on Erik Erikson because of his theory in regards to the good life. According to Erikson an individual goes through 8 psychosocial developmental stages throughout their life. We investigated the role of each of these stages in one’s life and how they can lead each individual to ultimately achieve the “good life.”
