Being an adult Being an adult means taking responsibility. There is no specific time or chronological age when you become an adult. It does not depend on age, but it happens with self-realization and becoming mature. For some, adulthood may be starting universities or starting a new family, or beginning new jobs, or just simply going through life’s trials and tribulations. When you are an adult, you create an identity for yourself. You no longer rely on others. Adults can think and act...

Adult learning Psychological theorists agree that adult learning is most effective when an individual’s social context coincides with real life application. Adult learning differs from children’s learning in that it is self-directed, problem-centered, experience based, and more often relevant to life.

Importantly, the construction of morality during development is...

People recognize a difference between children and adults. What events (experiences or ceremonies) make a person an adult? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.

Others think that the age of 21 is the age when childhood is replaced by adulthood. However, from my everyday experience and observation I can stand...

Angry with everything – society, police, and the way they treat us. This is a common point of view of the young adults. The fact is that teenagers are usually idealists, who expect that they're able to change the conventional course of life. But after facing the reality they become frustrated and disappointed, because their ideals become demolished. The real adulthood doesn't look like the teenagers want it to be. They are always confident that adulthood would bring pure freedom and choice,...

What does it mean to be an adult? That is a very good question and a topic my mother and I have debated over numerous times. When I was in my early teens I had it all figured out and clearly mapped out in my mind. Immediately I was going to be an adult the very moment I turned eighteen. In my little pea brain it was that simple. The United States government declared me an adult, so why wouldn’t everybody else. Eighteen was the magic number...right? I was still in high school, but I could...

Wearing the “Adult” Hood Being a young person I’ve heard many a great debate over the word “Adult”. Most specifically between the kids and parents of my family, and these arguments are always the same. “You’re not an adult I still pay your bills”, and the most common “you’re not an adult you still live with mom and dad”. But those arguments don’t really give us a clear description of what makes someone an adult. There all good points on what an adult does but are they requirements? I don’t...

Like most people, I had the urge to grow up quickly. Despite the constant “they grow up so fast” from relatives, it was not fast enough for me. I used to say, “I can’t wait until I grow up,” usually when I was frustrated with my mom’s strict rules. I fantasized about living a posh life, walking under the warm sun wearing designer shades with my athletic boyfriend before stopping at a restaurant and drinking expensive wines without my mom nagging me. My fantasy would abruptly end when my mom...

A Reflection on Adult Development Thelma Messer University of New Brunswick A Reflection on Adult Development As I reflect on adult development I think back to when I studied developmental psychology, many years ago, as I worked on my bachelor of nursing degree.

There is a moment in every child’s life where he or she realizes that growing up is not as desirable as they once thought. Before this moment they fantasize about not having a bedtime or driving or finally being able to drink. But then they feel the weight of the adult world with its responsibilities and restrictions of a society that doesn’t value the individual and expects its citizens to morph into mature, controllable adults. This is the time parents hate, the time when their children try to...

This paper will examine questions, pros and cons of whether children should be tried as adults. Discussion...

Most kids think that life without adults would mean a lot of freedom and fun, but the truth is that it would lead to a lot of bad outcomes and consequences. Young children don’t have enough wisdom or knowledge as an older adult with maturity would. Adults are more organized and responsible than most average, ordinary kids these days. Small children would need a lot more supervision to help them stay safe and sound. The world would become a huge disaster without any adults to care and protect for...

Are Adults Always Right? Are adults always right? The question that I would love to prove wrong, but after reading my journal entries I have to come to a conclusion. Since adults do have experience they make acceptable decisions, but being an adult doesn’t always mean that you know everything.

For example, in entries...

Children Disagreements with other people is something that we will all encounter at various points in our lives.

*I think Holden is absolutely a phony, however I really think he is forced to be a phony. He cannot open up to any adult about his concerns because he probably feels they will simply tell him "that's life" and encourage him to just move on.

He feels forced to be a phony regardless of anything because he has...

In "Bluebeard", the topic of curiosity leaves the reader with a sense of fear about fulfilling curiosities. According to Freud,...

The environment in we are brought up from as a child shapes us and helps us to become who we are as adults. This coming of age concept is ultimately influenced by the parental, social and cultural environments in which we are exposed to as children. The popular teenage coming-of-age film, “The Breakfast Club” effectively demonstrates and supports this. Our grown up selves are a product of our environment during youth. As children, we see our parents as role models and they are usually the...

First, how do we define personality? Personality it is known to be made up of the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that make a person unique. Erickson, Freud and Jung are names that we are accustomed to hearing around home and school. Their premises on aspects of an adult life, including personality, are not only dynamic, but evolve throughout a life span in many predictable ways (Bjorklund, 2010, p242). I actually really like reading our textbook because our author,...

Should the government hold us responsible for the behavior and educational success of our kids?

Holden feels that childhood is something to be saved and kept, instead of learning the truth of adulthood since the adult world is an impure place that...

Speech Essay Topic: Growing Up While our mums and dads are busy trying to look young again and regain that youthful glow, we teenagers are trying hard to do the exact opposite. What the adults are trying to get back, we are carelessly throwing away. We put on make-up, go to parties, smoke and drink; we do all this because it’s what grown-ups do and the way we see it, at 16, we already are. But we’re not. We’re almost adults, but not yet. We are stuck in the middle, and yet, we constantly...

Social Development in Adulthood Jill Rudiger 2/10/13 University of Phoenix I chose the article Adulthood and Aging: Social Processes and Development because when I read through it, the article covered many points about aging including the “grand theories” by noted psychiatrists like Erikson and Levinson, elements that influence adult social development, newer theories by Riley, myths of aging adults, changing roles of women, and challenges facing aging adults.

Maturity in the Catcher in the Rye Maturity is a process in life that usually no one can run away from. The novel the Catcher in the Rye, by J.D Salinger, tries to disprove that lesson through its protagonist. Holden often behaves like a prophet or a saint, pointing out the “phonies” around him because he believes they are not as mature as he is, but as the novel progresses, Holden makes choices that prevents him from maturing rather than enabling him to mature. Holden’s mail goal is...
