Punk Rock (play)
In the library of a grammar school, seven sixth-formers are preparing for their mock-A Levels and nearing the end of their school lives. There are various sub-plots detailing the various love lines or triangles that emerge through the play. Some critics have criticised Stephens for unoriginality, however. Punk Rock inspired Identity Crisis, a drama and philosophy project, exploring the play's themes with young people in London and Manchester.[13] Punk Rock is frequently used in Drama education in sixth form in England, as well as a few other places around the world.
Punk rock subgenres
A number of overlapping punk rock subgenres have developed since the emergence of punk rock (often shortened to punk) in the mid-1970s. Even though punk genres at times are difficult to segregate, they usually show differing characteristics in overall structures, instrumental and vocal styles, and tempo. However, sometimes a particular trait is common in several genres, and thus punk genres are normally grouped by a combination of traits.

Identity crisis
Identity crisis, according to psychologist Erik Erikson, is the failure to achieve ego identity during adolescence.[1][2] Erikson coined the term. The stage of psychosocial development in which identity crisis may occur is called the Identity Cohesion versus Role Confusion stage. During this stage (adolescence), we are faced with physical growth, sexual maturation, and integrating our ideas of ourselves and about what others think of us.[3] We therefore form our self-image and endure the task of resolving the crisis of our basic ego identity. Successful resolution of the crisis depends on one’s progress through previous developmental stages, centering on issues such as trust, autonomy, and initiative.[4] Concept[edit] Those who emerge from the adolescent stage of personality development with a strong sense of identity are well equipped to face adulthood with confidence and certainty. Erikson's own interest in identity began in childhood. See also[edit] References[edit] Bibliography[edit]

Erik Erikson
Although Erikson lacked even a bachelor's degree, he served as a professor at prominent institutions such as Harvard and Yale. Early life[edit] Erikson's mother, Karla Abrahamsen, came from a prominent Jewish family in Copenhagen. She was married to Jewish stockbroker Valdemar Isidor Salomonsen, but had been estranged from him for several months at the time Erik was conceived. Little is known about Erik's biological father except that he was a Danish gentile. On discovering her pregnancy, Karla fled to Frankfurt, Germany, where Erik was born on June 15, 1902 and was given the surname Salomonsen.[2] Following Erik's birth, Karla trained to be a nurse and moved to Karlsruhe. At Das Humanistisch Gymnasium his main interests were art, history and languages, but he lacked interest in school and graduated without academic distinction.[5] After graduation, instead of attending medical school, as his stepfather had desired, he attended art school in Munich, but soon dropped out.
