Describe Erikson's last stage of development
ANSWER:
In old age, individuals enter into Erikson's stage of ego integrity versus despair. In this stage, there is a growing awareness of the nearness of the end of life. The struggle comes about as older adults try to understand their lives in terms of the future of their families and communities. Thoughts about one's death are balanced by thoughts that one will live on through next generations and through the community. To achieve integrity, people must come to terms with the choices and decisions they have made. People must also accept that their lives are coming to a close. People who reach integrity judge their lives to be worthwhile and good.
