Adolescence is ill-prepared for their adulthood responsibilities. In the “Adulthood later” article, It shows how adolescents aren’t going to be able to handle adult responsibilities because of how as an adult, those who can’t afford to live in a house, they live in a dorm with roommates in order to split the rent. It also talks about the fact the age at which people buy house has gotten higher since not many can afford those high prices and in result causing them to go to school for a longer time in order to have and make more money. It states in the article from ages 35-40 people are taking college courses to earn more money. And also, people are getting married later and getting divorced faster. And married couples

Some reasons why childhood has changed during the past generation are the crimes surged from the 60’s through the early ‘90s, stories of abducted children appeared constantly in the news and this created fear in many parents. The society changed, people seem to have more malicious and that is why parents started to be more cautious.

There have been different researchers and various types of research that has been done over the years to try and uncover the mystery that what happens in the first few years of your life will determine what happens in the later stages on childhood and going into adult hood. Research into the subject of insecure attachment sparked an interest in the world of psychology in 1948 with the research John Bowlby did on maternal attachment.

According to the Pew Research (2017), “After rising steadily for nearly a century, the share of older Americans who live alone has fallen since 1990, largely because women ages 65 to 84 are increasingly likely to live with their spouse or their children. The likelihood of living alone has grown since 1990 for older men and for women ages 85 and up.

Overall, each chapter stated in this journal give an account to my knowledge of understanding the journey of adulthood. The development of aging manifested to the importance and awareness of health for both aging factors. Before ending the chapter, I did not understand the process of aging and about the effects that these aging factors have on bodies have contributed to the factors of secondary aging. As a Pacific Islander, I should know how much food meant for us. Thus, for the well-being of one's own self and health, a healthy solution reduces the effects on secondary aging. Lastly, Chapter 5 concentrated on the transition of social roles.

That evening in Washington, D.C. My head buried in my calloused hand The image of painting the magnificent rotunda of the Capitol blossoms in my head My splotchy cloth apron hanging down my front nimbly letting the wispy bristles of my brush tickle the thick swirling bursts of brash color in the rusty, clinging can meticulously bestowing life on the lifeless concrete every time the brush gracefully kisses the concrete Jaunty tunes of satisfaction waltz out of policemen’s mouths for after many hours of breaking through the barriers of droopy eyes, the ruthless rule breakers of the street are now gone.

The day that I could apply for my driver’s license was the day that I feel I commenced the transition into adulthood. It was when I could go where I pleased, when I pleased. It was the day that I had my first taste of real freedom and independence.

Concerted cultivation means that parents try to make their children more talented by enrolling them in organized activities. Meanwhile, natural growth is letting children play with the other children in the neighborhood instead of organized activities, but not always by choice. My childhood was shaped by concerted cultivation

The ceremony to celebrate adulthood is a rite of passage, when the children turns on an adult and assume news responsibilities. Now they could participate of society’s day a day. Now a day, we don’t have any similar ceremony, I guess. Perhaps in native tribes, but I don’t have information about that. We have the debutant party for girls, when they complete 15 years, here in Brazil, and 16 in United States. But I don’t think that this celebration has a similar meaning now a day. In past was when the girl was already for been introduce to the society, with the intention of get married; now it’s just a

Chapter 15 and 16 made me relive and analyze adolescent years. In some areas, I hit the nail on the head, but in other areas it was a miss. I was what Piaget call a logical and hypothetical thinker. I was basically well round in my academics. But in the area of self-identity and self-esteem I was socially awkward. I did not reach identity achievement until adulthood. My self-esteem was low so I was easily influenced by my peers. However, I was never really a problem child, I just had a sassy mouth at time. A lot of people like to say if I only knew then what I know now, but I like the say going through what I did then made me who I am now!

In sociology, emerging adulthood is the period in time of an person’s life where they are between adolescence and adulthood. This term was proposed by Jeffrey Arnett, a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University, in an article called American Psychologist. In the article he describes emerging adults as young individuals who do not have their own children, don’t own a home, or do not have a sufficient source of income to become completely independent (Arnett, 2000). There is another article that also describes these young individuals who are living in developed countries, however it is also experienced by young people who are in wealthy families in other areas of the world like Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East (Galambos, 2007). Arnett suggests that emerging adults are between the ages of 18 and 25 years of age. Emerging adults are a step up from childhood but are not in a position to take on adulthood responsibilities. During this time in life many are open to new experiences which can be a positive to the morality of this upcoming generation of adults. Some people find themselves deciding to switch majors in college or even enrolling into different types of classes to explore their own interests in search for the best fit for their future careers. In many situations emerging adults take on a lower standard of living in order to leave home earlier, which allows that person independence and sense of self reliability they have yet to

As impossible it might look, it only takes effort, hard work and willingness to accomplish your achievements.

The construction of childhood closely relates to the perspectives of developmental theories that focus on describing and understanding the processes of learning and development for children. The above image represents a group of Chinese young children at age four who are learning how to draw in color markers. It is evidence that these children are drawing the same thing in exactly same color and drawing tools, which symbolise the current situation in Chinese Early Learning Centre. Chinese young children are required to imitate the drawing that educators provided instead of exploring creative drawings using children’s own imagination ability. Thus, the pedagogical principle of Chinese Early Learning Centre is based on the normalisation of imagination
