chapter 6-7 Adolescence and Adulthood




                The concepts of the transitions of age are based originally on status. The difference between a kid and an adult is easily seen but there is a resent change in which the individual is too young to work to work buy too old to act as a child. Adolescents have multiple problems and concepts that cause this invention to create a blurring between them and their next stage of life known as adulthood. Even though the teenager years have a lot to offer adult hood has a larger amount of changes and concepts. The female and male changes are different as well as their aging problems easily cause different results to upper. Finally the working stage of life has a large impact on the individual’s life.
                The idea of adolescence begun in the industrial revolution were kids gained jobs instead of education and could sustain themselves instead of belonging to a family. Soon this caused an age for legal working to began to ensure a proper education could be given. The age at which children turn in to teens is when they are 13 or 14, when puberty the changes to allow sexual reproduction to start. In these years biological growth caused by hormones begin. Parents and teachers ask more from teens than before. This combined with the physical changes make teens feel as if everything is crucial. Many teens see that they do not have a status in their life so a search begins to find their self begins. Anticipatory socialization  tends to happen in this years as a to prepare foe their future adult life in a work environment. In the search for their future job and identity many adolescents end up finding them in trouble. Sex tends to attract them and cause them to become parents and loss their education. The drugs, are chemicals that change mood, behavior or consciousness, cause violence and addiction that can end in arrest. Drugs are used to socialize but the truth is that the attachment to society, social integration, in other cases causes individuals to commit suicide because they do not fit in.                                                                                                                                                   
                To become an adult many believe it is based on age but it can happen in between 17 to 32 known as the novice phase. The adult life of women is mostly based on relation this can take place in the sense of marriage or dating, a romantic engagement. This was created after world war one when teens received a mode of transportation and places to go. This is more for entertainment and to maintain a social status called homogamy, not like courtship that ends in marriage. The male adulthood is concentrated on what they have started in terms of work. The adult life is divides in three stages early, middle and late adulthood era. The early is between 17 to 39, middle between 40 to 59, and late is from 65 to above. In the early adult hood individuals find mentors, individuals who may teach and guide them. To begin adulthood the first phase is to leave the family, the second is to start working, and finally to continue life after the children are grown.
                A crucial part of adulthood is the profession, which is a status that requires skill in an art obtained through practice. To not be employed means not having the means to sustain the life of the family members or the individuals own. The unemployment is dangerous as well as its rate. There is large amount diversity when it comes to an occupation. The current job has a relatively high satisfaction. After this it is possible to enjoy the young, middle, and old –old . in this time people enjoy retirement while they go through the poses for death. In a rare case individuals suffer from Alzheimer’s that take their control from their body. In any case it creates dependency in the young , but there are multiple possibilities.
Aging is a beautiful a confusing experience. It can cause multiple confusing experiences but it does not mean that it will all be horrible. The dependencies only allow individuals to be relived from their past work. Even drugs can’t absorb the possible opportunities that the future offers. So the only end is the awaiting future.
