REACTION PAPER

The first group discuss the theory of psychosexual by Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud is Father

of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theories. Freud proposed that were 3 components of

personality. The id, ego and super ego. Id is a inborn component of the personality that driven

by the instinct, Ego is a national component of the personality. And last superego is the

personality that consists of one's interlized moral standards. This 3 components of personality is

all connected. He proposed that there were 5 stages of development. This are the first the Oral

Stage in this stage occurs birth to 1 year old. The Pleasure centers of fge mouth. The individual is

dependent because he/she frustrated by having to wait on another person. Second Anal Stage

,this stage occurs the individuals have their first encounter with rules and regulations. The

pleasure focuses on controlling bladder and bowel movements. For example the Baby toilet

Training. Third is Phallic stage, this stage occurs from 3-6 years old when the erogenous zones

of the body, the genitals, start developing. At this stage, children frequently indulge in playing

with their genitals in order to explore them. According to Freud, boys and girls experience

Oedipus complex at this stage and the boys suffer from castration anxiety. For example, the kid

is mama's boy/girl or papa's boy/girl. Fourth is Latency Stage , range age frim six till puberty

when children express no sexual feelings. According to Freud, children at this stage suppress

their sexual energy and focuses on any activities, such as, school, athletics, hobbies, social

relationships, friendships with same sex. And last is the Genital Stage this stage occurs from
puberty till death, which is also the period when children reach sexual maturity. How children

explore and experiment their sexuality at this stage defines their adult behavior. Example have a

relationship with opposite sex. Freud's theory states that a person's development is completed

by the time he/she reaches adulthood. Sexual experiences of individuals dominate their

behavior throughout their life.

The second group dicuss the Theory Psychosocial by Erik Erikson. Erik Erikson is a

Developmental psychologist and psychoanalysis. He proposed the theory of psychosocial

development has eight distinct stages. First is Trust vs. Mistrust, In this stage the baby decide

who they want or dont want. The virtue of hope is on the baby see all the time their trusting

because they know them. The mistrust developing her/him fear because he/she didnt know

you. Second Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt, in this stage the baby can do run, walk, talk etc.

The baby was develop their will from encourage and support the baby of being independent.

despair.

The Theory of Psychosexual and Theory of Psychosocial can help us what will we do and to

know what is the future that we experience. In the Philippines educational context it is

important because everyone didn't know what is the importance of individual that will cause

the unhealthy personality. If they teach to everyone this theory the filipino people to apply the

stages and they do not do what is wrong.
