Reclaiming Adulthood: A Recognition-Theoretical Approach
I choose:

    Essay On Childhood And Adulthood

    I was nourished with love from my umbilical cord in my mother’s warm womb, spoon fed when I was able to feed and hand held when I could walk; I was akin to my parents from my conception, as I was their child. But, soon I was riding a bicycle by myself while my father stood and watch, I was placed on the school bus by myself while my mother waved me goodbye, in less than a year, my parents together will send me off to school by myself. From a tender age, still being a mere child, my parents have engraved the nature of independence in me, a key quality of maturity. An essential proponent of the transition to adulthood is obtaining true independence.…

    Summary Of Tracy Moore's Listen Up Dudes

    Adulthood is one of those words that college students shiver at their mere mention, along with “finals week”, “textbook prices”, “we’re out of coffee” and the “we need to talk” relationship killer. Adulthood and the denomination of being an adult have been topics of discussion for many individuals of many ranging years (from pimple-faced teenagers to sternly-faced late 30 year olds) and the question of when do you become a full-fledged grown-up adult has been up in the air for some time. Tracy Moore’s article “Listen Up, Dudes: It’s Time to Own Up to the Fact That You Are an Adult” provides a pretty good idea and consensus on what it is to be an adult, and shoving them promptly in the face of some denial-driven 30 year olds. Her ideas and concepts are well organized and logical, strengthened by the depth of her discussion, as well as her use of another publication’s data and analyzing it further on.…

    Pretty in Pink

    Pretty in Pink is essentially a love story about a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, the rich high school hunk who has his eye on her, and the peer pressure that threatens their budding romance. Molly Ringwald plays the character of Andie Walsh, an unpopular poor girl living in the shabbier side of town. Andrew McCarthy portrays the role of Blane McDonnagh, a wealthy heartthrob who asks her out to the prom. As their romance evolves, both characters struggle with increasing pressure from their peers whom are unsupportive of the relationship mostly because of the difference in social class. This, however, doesn't necessarily hold true for two of the characters whose objections appear to derive from other motives. Blane's friend Steff (James Spader) is more outraged with the fact Andie has repeatedly turned down his amorous attempts, than with her lack of money. While Andie's best friend "Duckie" (Jon Cryer) is so in love with her that a Prince with a Harvard degree who dedicates his life to charitable work would not have made the cut. Although the main characters are both initially cautious if not almost secretive about their relationship, Andie steps up to the plate and the pressure, even ending her friendship with Duckie for the sake of love. However, Blane, who receives the majority of the flak because he is the one with the "most at stake", caves in to the stress of it all and breaks off their prom date. Despite his strong feelings for her, the prom is an announcement to his friends, peers, and the entire school that this is his girl; a "nobody" and he just can't bring himself to do it. When Andie and Duckie enter the prom hand in hand, both Blane and Steff immediately take notice. Steff embarks in one last desperate attempt to mock Andie, but Blane has had enough of him already! Brushing him off, he walks up to Andie and declares his love for her and all is right with the world again.…

    GY130: Youth And Society

    The theory of Emerging Adulthood presented by Arnett (2000), suggests a new concept of development between the late teens through the twenties, focusing on ages between 18 and 25 years, which is characterised by a prolonged stage of identity exploration. Arnett (2000, p. 469) affirms that “emerging adulthood exists only in cultures that allow young people a prolonged period of independent role exploration during the late teens and twenties”. To that note, the transition to adulthood seems to be increasingly prolonged as a result of social and economic changes,…

    Analysis Of Let Teen-Agers Try Adulthood

    Think about what educational system was like in the early 1900’s. Now think about the educational system today. The educational system has changed substantially since the introduction of public education in the mid to late 1800’s to the modern day educational system that many of us are aware of today. Back in the old days schools used to be equipped with slide rulers, chalkboards, and typewriters. Now modern day schools are equipped with electronic calculators, smartboards, and computers. However, now the educational system needs another adjustment. The educational system today is flawed with the lack of teacher training, the high stress, high workload school environment, and that schools can’t prepare their students for life. Leon Botstein, author of “Let Teen-Agers Try Adulthood” addresses these key issues. However, Botstein states dramatic and head scratching solutions that will leave anybody wondering if Botstein went to school. On the flip side David L. Kirp, the author of “The Secret to Fixing Bad Schools” as well as Horace Mann, author of “Report of the Mass Board of Education: provide…

    Emerging Adulthood

    The past three decades in the world have seen the number of young people with obesity increase by nearly a triple. This is according to reports from the National Center for Health Statistics (Eisenberg, Radunovich, & Brennan, 2013). Obesity is rarely caused by genetic or hormonal defects, and the main reason for the high occurrence of obesity, therefore, is the high intake of calories than an individual can burn. As much as the major reasons for the overall increase in the number of overweight and obese adolescents is not known, the most common theory is that the society has become more successful. This implies that adolescents…

    The transition from adolescent to adulthood is something everyone has or will go through in their life, in the new generation of Millennial this transition seems to be elongated and now referred to as “Emerging Adulthood”. Emerging Adulthood is a coined term by Jeffery Arnett for a new transitional period between adolescence and adulthood where people experience self discovery, instability, optimism, and self-focused in the ages of 18-25. This new transitional period is a phenomenon that only occurs within individuals in developed countries, middle class socioeconomic status, and most often attending a secondary school. It is a fascinating new time period in which has the media roaring in questions about what this will mean for the future…

    Becoming an Adult

    What does make you a grown-up? Is it moving out of the house? Hitting a certain age? Having a relationship? Getting a job? How is it that we can do those things, that we consider to be “adult”, but we still feel like kids? Or that we feel like grown-ups, we're certainly old enough, but we haven't seemed to have accomplished any of those things “grown-ups” have done?…
