Adult development

someone an adult? The answer that most people give is at the age of 18. In my opinion, i think a person should be an adult when they are mature enough to act like an adult. When teenagers turn eighteen they automatically think that they are adults. I would consider them adults, when they know how to make the right decisions in their life, and they are capable of having their own family and providing for them. Although, they are supposed to be the ones that will have to consider themselves…

It is a universal truth that children envy adults and adults envy children. What is ironic is they are both right. When transitioning from childhood to adulthood, a child has to leave his or her carefree world behind to take on the real world. There are many similarities between these two stages of life such as the continuous desire to learn and the necessity of friendship. The differences outweigh the similarities though, including the difficulties of aging, the burden of responsibilities, and…

here they blew up Korean tanks and soldiers and saved the girl. This is a good example of self reliance because it proved that they were willing to die for each other. A true adult values a loved one's life over their own. These kids were family and quickly realized they were no longer for themselves but for each other. With adults out of the picture, they had to grow up and make new families, families without…

Imagine that everyone experienced a time in their life that is so complex and so random that it was equally complex and random to theorize. This fundamental idea begins to explain emerging adulthood. Emerging adulthood is a time period where there is no established paradigm or conflict that needs to be resolved and it is quite different for every individual (Arnett). Arnett defines the age range between 18 through 25 as a period where individuals find themselves experimenting and exploring many…

Adulthoods can be divided into three parts, young adulthood, middle adulthood and older adulthood based on their distinct characteristics and period of life each one covers. The difference in these three periods can be seen physically, mentally/emotionally, socially, financially and through state of health. The three adulthoods are distinct physically. During young adulthood, growth rate slows down and the body reaches a peak of physical health; during middle adulthood, the body functions begin…

Final Exam 1. What does it mean to grow as a person? Adolescence (Chapters 9-10) Development is an intricate, unified process that takes place throughout the lifespan. In adolescence three main developmental tasks are underway including physical development, cognitive development, and identity development. Physical Development When speaking of physical development in adolescence, both genetic and environmental factors play a role in a process of sexual maturation known as puberty (p. 283).…

Initial Development The development of nursing theories may start in so many ways. A theory may be developed from a conceptual framework based on other disciplines (deductively) or through observation (inductively). When it comes to active aging, the concept was initially inspired by the work of Robert Havighurst on activity theory. According to this theory, elders' well-being relies on them staying active in later life; therefore, staying active is key to successfully ageing (Functionalist,…

Young adults are in Piaget's formal operational cognitive development stage, though their cognitive capacity has fully developed young adults are at their prime stage for maturation from formal and informal experiences allowing them to fill their coffers with a wealth of new skills and knowledge (Taylor et al., 2011). This stage affords young adults prime cognitive real estate from which to capitalize the full effectiveness of implementing diabetes management into their lives. With their now…

The developmental stage Professor Speak-Lewis assigned our group was young adulthood. During young adulthood, one is transitioning from a teenager into an adult. In young adulthood there are developmental tasks and process that take place. This stage can be associated with Erikson 's Psychosocial theory of “ Intimacy vs. Isolation” and Levinson’s theory of Life Structure. As well as to our client Patrick, we are able to relate to young adulthood because he is in the young adulthood stage and is…
