explain Marcus' current stage of identity development. As a reminder, the different stages of identity development are: Identity Diffusion occurs when an adolescent does not make a commitment to any particular roles, values, or goals. Identity Foreclosure occurs when someone makes a commitment without considering other possibilities. Identity Moratorium occurs when an individual is in the midst of a crisis over a particular role or value and tries out alternatives in order to make a commitment.
Identity Achievement occurs when someone makes a personal decision or commitment after going through a crisis and exploring his or her options.
Identity Diffusion. He has yet to make a choice to be against them yet. He merely does not agree with their actions. He has no allegiances to either side of the issue.
But has been through a crisis
I would maybe say Moratorium if he is *currently* in a crisis over some decision (ie the relationship with the government). However, not sure how he is trying out alternatives at this point.
:/ i put achievement because he has been robbed and has decided he is against the system
I can see where you could say that. It might be , because I am putting this through the perspective of the entire book.
