Who
Am I?
Please read pages
104-106 for Kohlberg and Gilligan, then pages 98-101 for Erikson's
psychosocial tasks at different stages of life. Read pages 465-466 for
readings on Suicide
Most of us have asked
ourselves the question "Who am I?" at one point or another in our
lives. Coon, Mitterer, and Martini (2019) discuss the difficulties
teenagers face in establishing their own identity: "Many problems
stem from the unclear standards about the role adolescents should play within
society" (p. 110). Our text also explains that teenagers experience
ambiguity, or unclear interpretations when defining their roles. This adds to
their confusion of a clear and solid sense of self.
More and more often we
are seeing cases presented in the media about teens who have taken their own
lives as a result of bullying and cyberbullying (Wang, 2016).
Coon, Mitterer, and Martini (2019) have argued that adolescence is a
tumultuous time. However, Karen Horney’s theory explains that basic anxiety
occurs because we live in a hostile world. An example is Wang's report of
a suicide by a 13-year-old girl in response to racial and social prejudice against
perceived sexual orientation.
How much does emotional
turbulence versus social hostility count as an explanation for teen suicide? Or
is it a combination of the two?
Drawing upon Kohlberg’s
theory of stages of moral development, Gilligan’s theory of caring, and
Erikson’s psychosocial stages theory, discuss reasons why an adolescent might
turn to suicide. Then, using one of these theories, suggest how to help a teen
who has been a victim of bullying.
