Conclusions
It is this fourth stage that enables a full expression of deep caring. Again, generativity and deep caring are about actions and deeds–not just words and feelings. The bridge to be built between Personal and Collective Worth requires hard work and courage. We are worthy when caring deeply for our children and our cherished projects. We are worthy when assisting other people in our work environment. We enhance the worth of our society when honoring and preserving its heritage and values. We ultimately increased the worth of our community when we serve as quiet leaders on behalf of its sustainable future.
In the following four essays, I will have much more to say about Personal and Collective Worth to be found in each of the generativity roles. So, please stay tuned to this continuing exploration of the psychological nature of Worth.
