, QUESTION 1
1.1 In comparing the African perspective on human development to Erikson's
psychosocial theory, several differences can be identified:
Cultural Context: The African perspective takes into account the cultural and
societal aspects specific to African communities. It recognizes the importance
of communal values, interdependence, and collective well-being, whereas
Erikson's theory is more focused on individual development within a Western
cultural framework.
Extended Family and Community: African perspectives often emphasize the
role of extended family and community in shaping an individual's
development. The interconnectedness of relationships and the support
network provided by the community are central to human growth and well-
being. In contrast, Erikson's theory does not explicitly highlight the influence of
extended family and community in the same way.

significance on ancestral connections and the wisdom passed down through
generations. The cultural beliefs and practices associated with ancestors and
tradition play a crucial role in shaping an individual's identity and
development. Erikson's theory does not address this aspect.

ways spirituality and belief in the invisible world influence socialization and identity

ethical values in African societies. They guide individuals' behavior and
interactions with others, contributing to the development of a strong moral
compass and a sense of communal responsibility.
Rituals and Ceremonies: African societies often engage in various rituals and
ceremonies that are deeply rooted in spiritual beliefs. These rituals serve as
important socialization processes, transmitting cultural values, norms, and
