    The conversation of “The Brains Behind Erikson Part 2” was fairly interesting. I enjoyed learning about two lobes the brain functions, even though there are four functions. The frontal lobe allows an individuals thoughts to process. It is located behind the forehead. The other lobe that was mentioned was Parietal lobe. This lobe is the sensor area . Autonomy VS shame was brought into discussion briefly explaining the stages from the years of a child. Even thought the discussion was acknowledgeable, there were areas that were of track so it made it a bit difficult to comprehend the actual subject that was being discussed by Michael. However, I’ve learned quite more then I imagined by a short amount of time.
