The objective of the Assignment: This assignment will help you to understand the role of
social and emotional development in your life. According to the theory, successful
completion of each stage results in a healthy personality and the acquisition of basic virtues.
Basic virtues are characteristic strengths that the ego can use to resolve subsequent crises.
Failure to complete a stage can result in a reduced ability to complete further stages and
therefore a more unhealthy personality and sense of self. These stages, however, can be
resolved successfully at a later time.
Note. Make sure your plagiarism rate before submission must be less than 10%. (Read it
carefully)
Assignment information: Read the case carefully and understand the history of the client
to evaluate his/her developmental stages. Grading will be based on how perfectly you’ll
evaluate the success and failure in each stage.

with his parents and liked to be alone. He received great attention from the individuals in
his family. He embraced the attention of his elders and took pride in fulfilling their
expectations. There was an emphasis for him to become a lawyer, doctor, or whatever suited
his preference. But he couldn’t make it unluckily, he likes to pay attention to extra-curricular
activities. He was moderate to a below-average student in the class. It might be because of
family crises. In addition, He had immense trust in his parent’s decisions and saw fit to
follow their advice. Furthermore, he wanted to understand how the financial system worked,
especially after the financial crisis.
