A final thing that I can take from this article and apply to my own life is acknowledgment of the burden the journey to adulthood places on the family of the individual.

Although I realize that the practice of co-residency places a burden on the parents, I have also come to understand that this does not occur by choice, but rather by necessity.

My transition from childhood to adulthood took place when I got my first job, as a lifeguard, the summer of my Freshmen year of High School. During this summer I learned important skills and life lessons and by the end of the summer I had a new perspective on what it means to be an adult and the challenges that came with this transition. These skills include teamwork, communication and a new sense of responsibility.

Five common reasons why people in middle adulthood may change careers are: some careers end in middle adulthood, the inability to resolve conflict between job demands and personal goals, realizing one has succeeded as much as they can in the career, family transitions, and being laid off and not being able to be rehired in their current field. The transition into a new career can be difficult or easy depending on if the individual feels like they have control over their situation, and if the transition was voluntary or involuntary.

Developing a plan. Acknowledging the complexity inherent in the identities and worldviews of the parties involved in the research can provide a deeper understanding of the human experience of the research and its outcomes. In using participatory methods, a researcher must simultaneously acknowledge and question how their participation may influence or change group dynamics and outcomes while in turn recognizing how they are being influenced by the contexts they engage in. Understanding this complex web of perceptions, behaviors, and relationships is a lesson in humility. The research approach that has emerged serves as a memetic example of the very theory it questions by creating a design that requires the inclusion of complexity as a vehicle to understand the research, the researcher, and the research community/ies,
