I have done most of my assignment but i don't watch alot of television and i don't have any interest in what celebs are doing with their lives. So i need help identifying a character for 7 of the 8 stages in Erikson's theory.

Here is what i have so far.
Abstract
In our portion we will give a brief description of Erikson’s Theory which will include each stage of development. Erikson’s proposed 7 key stages in the way we develop throughout our life. These stages are first, basic trust versus basic mistrust. Secondly is autonomy versus shame and doubt. Thirdly is initiative versus guilt, the fourth stage is industry versus inferiority. The fifth stage is identity versus identity confusion, sixth is intimacy versus isolation. The seventh stage is generatively versus stagnation and lastly is the eighth stage which is integrity versus despair we will also identify a character at each stage.
 
Behavior Across the Lifespan
Erikson’s Theory of psychosocial development is one of the best known theories of personality in psychology. Erikson believed that one’s personality develops in a series of stages one of the main elements of his psychosocial stage theory is the development of ego identity. Ego identity is the conscious sense of self that we develop through social interaction. In each stage Erikson believed that people would experience a conflict in which they can either master the quality where they would achieve a great sense of mastery or they may fail in which that individual will experience a sense of inadequacy. While discussing the different stages we will also identify a character at each stage. The eight stages include trust versus mistrust, autonomy versus shame and doubt, initiative versus guilt, industry versus inferiority, identity versus confusion, intimacy versus isolation, generatively versus stagnation, and lastly is Integrity versus despair. Everyone develops similarly by following the eight steps that we have previously mentioned while also developing into individuals as we will prove in the following essay. ("Erikson's stages of," 2010 para)

The first stage is that of trust versus mistrust which occurs between birth and one year
which is the most fundamental stage in life. Because infants are utterly dependant the development of trust is based solely on that of the child’s caregiver. This is why young children strive with provided with a predictable daily schedule. When a child develops trust they will feel secure, if they do not they may develop fear and believe that the world is inconsistent and unpredictable. The Olsen twins (Full House) can be associated with this particular stage because as infants they became stars. They took turns playing the role of Michelle Tanner on the popular television series Full House. While filling this role the two young children had to become comfortable with their new television family in order to have trust and be able to perform as needed.

Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt is the second stage in which occurs in early childhood and is focus on children developing a superior sense of personal control. Erikson believed that potty training a child leads to a feeling of control and independence because they can control their own bodily functions. Another important part of this stage is letting the child chose what they wear, the toys they play with and occasionally the food they eat. When a child masters this stage they feel very confident and if they fail they may experience a feeling of inadequacy. A character that can be associated with this stage is …..

The third stage is Initiative versus guilt which occurs during the preschool years. Children begin to assert their power and control by directing play and other social interaction. The children who master this stage feel confident and are able to lead others. But those who fail at this stage develop a sense of guilt and a lack of initiative. ("Erickon's psychosocial stages," 2010 para) An appropriate character for this stage would be …

Industry versus Inferiority occurs during the early school years between the ages of 5-11. Through interactions with other children kids build a sense of pride in their abilities they possess along with their accomplishments. Children who are encouraged and praised by parents and teachers for a job well done are more likely to be happy and strive where the ones who are not will doubt their ability to be successful. A character that can be associated with this stage is …

Identity versus Confusion occurs during adolescence when children are discovering their independence and developing their sense of self. Adolescents whom are encouraged have a higher chance of emerging from this stage feeling confident and will have a positive attitude for the future. Those who do not will be confused and will doubt the future as they may feel inadequate. The character that has been chosen for this stage is …

Identity versus Confusion occurs during adolescence when children are discovering their independence and developing their sense of self. Adolescents whom are encouraged have a higher chance of emerging from this stage feeling confident and will have a positive attitude for the future. Those who do not will be confused and will doubt the future as they may feel inadequate. The character that has been chosen for this stage is …

Intimacy versus Isolation is obviously geared toward early adulthood when young adults are becoming sexually active while exploring intimate relationships. Because each stage builds on what was accomplished in the previous stages it becomes more difficult for those that have not mastered the previous stages to catch up so to speak. When an individual is confident and secure in who they are and the person they are becoming they are more likely to succeed at these later stages. Erikson believed that it was crucial for people to hcommitted relationships with have
