Emerging Adulthood and Cultures
Emerging adulthood is the phase in between adolescence and actual adulthood. Emerging
Adults have reached a step up from childhood but are not ready to fully take on adult
responsibilities. This part of the life is open to many new experiences which can be very good for
the morality of this upcoming generation of adults. People find themselves changing majors in
college or taking different classes to explore their interest an find out where that best fit for their
future careers.A lot of times emerging adults take a lower standard of living in order to leave
home sooner; allowing that person an independence and self reliability they have not yet
experienced. After a taste of the life on their own, most young adults end up moving back home
at some time for numerous reasons. From my own experience, I can say that if you have lived
on your own, moving back home is one of the most difficult things to try to settle back into.
Although, if it is done at the right time, leaving home can help a person grow toward adulthood a
substantial amount. People who are not ready for the experience end up ultimately hurting
themselves by trying to move their lives forward to quickly. Moving out before you are ready
can cause some people to less further their education, rather than the person who continues to
live at home and has many less responsibilities. In my culture there are a few ways, the first way
is the age of identity exploration, this is when young people are deciding who they areas people
and where they want to work
