Which of Erikson’s stages would best classify Prof. Randy Pausch’s life at the time this video was filmed and why?

(2) Researcher Erik Erikson offered an interesting theory of psychosocial development in the form of life-stages and their accompanying dilemmas. Watch the video titled “Death and Dying, Life and Living.” Which of Erikson’s stages would best classify Prof. Randy Pausch’s life at the time this video was filmed and why? How do you feel he handled his dilemma? Also, review the stage that you are supposed to be in at this time in your life and discuss whether your experiences match with Erikson’s theory. (pp. 350-351; 362-363.) ADDENDUM: Here’s the link to the 1 hour video actually called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” I find this one to be incredibly insightful and inspiration. You can watch shorter versions and additional stories on Randy Pausch on YouTube as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

Be sure you understand and can apply social exchange theory if you choose this question.)
