critically and creatively, I came up with a judgment the information contained in this article can be verified and personally, I have witness or observed the different authors points of view either in the society setting or in my life experience.
The reason I say this article is relevant is because it tackles the issues of social development in adulthood widely and in a wider scope.
There are different theories in this article that demonstrates and elaborate issues of social development in adulthood. For example these theorists like Erikson ir982), Levinson (1978), Valliant (1977), and Neugarten (1968) explain in details how an adult social development can be affected both negatively and positively by their transition from childhood to adulthood, the midlife crisis they face like marriage, career and personal sense of being and how the society and people around us can also through support, companion, acceptance and affection can greatly influence our social development and also on the other hand, and sometimes simultaneously, social relation can also involve abuse, bad advice, invasion of privacy or abuse of resources that can be detrimental to social development in
adulthood.
According to Riley’s structural lag theory (Riley, Kahn, & Foner, 1394). For example, proposes that structures and norms in work, family, and other social institutions have failed to adjust to changes in people’s lives, and these results in strains on individuals and society. For example, though people are living longer, about 10 years past their retirement age, there has not be any adjustment made to provide jobs for those who have reached their retirement age but are not ready to retire.
Generally, the article tackles all issues affecting adulthood social development from all perspective and I strongly feel it’s a good source for information on this topic.
