Everyone rides the carousel is a very interesting film. There are basically eight rides for eight ages. The eight rides for eight ages signify the Erikson’s stages or Psychosocial Crisis. The video explains that every age has their own feelings and emotions that it undergoes. It can either be scary or sometimes joyous. According to Shaffer (2009), Erikson believed that human beings face eight major crises, or conflicts, during the course of their lives. Each conflict has its own time for emerging, as dictated by both biological maturation and the social demands that developing people experience at particular points in life (p.42). Every age someone deals with tells a story in their lifetime. There are eight stages in the Erikson’s stages.
