Explanation:

The moratorium, achievement, foreclosure and diffusion concepts refer to the four identity statuses of a person first created by Erik H. Erikson in his work on identity and psychosocial development and fully developed by psychologist James Marcia.

This classification is based on people's level of crisis (a period of exploration and discovery of alternatives and changes) and commitment (investment in their identity, goals, accepted values, and ideologies and a period to make firm choices).

Moratorium is when a person is undergoing a crisis (like Kendra who is struggling with how to respond to a situation at work) and at the same time, has no firm commitments or is not ready to make one.

Foreclosure is when a person has made a commitment but not based on exploration or searching. Zack is in this state because he has committed to a particular identity: to be a vegetarian, without prior crisis or exploration.

Diffusion refers to the status in which a person has not experienced a crisis or made any commitments to a particular identity. Cici is in this state because she is lacking both crisis or exploration and commitment to a particular identity, she "just coasts along in life."

Lastly, Identity achievement is a balance between crisis and commitment. Darren is at this state because he explored his options (crisis) and made a decision to live with his parents during his first year of college (commitment).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
