Chapter 1 & 2 Discussion

Please present a comparative analysis of Sigmund Freud and Erik Erickson’s theories of personality development.  Please present your discussion is essay form.  In other words I do not want your work submitted in an outline form – ever.  If you like, you may use other sources other than your textbook, but I would like what you present to be your own words.  Remember, as a college student, you should never plagiarize. How embarrassing it would be if I would discover you copied and pasted from a document and submitted as if it were your own work.  The results will not be pretty.
