At the beginning of the play, Sheila and Gerald’s relationship is unbalanced because Gerald sees himself as the dominant one, and is controlling. Sheila is naïve, quite immature for her age and impressionable. Gerald chose and bought the engagement ring for Sheila, without her having any say about it, and she just accepts that without questioning Gerald. She says ‘Is this one you wanted me to have?’ which connotes her willingness to be controlled. The audience realises how materialistic their relationship is as they value power and money above anything else. Sheila says ‘I think its prefect. Now I really feel engaged’ which seems an innocent enough statement, but suggests underneath that the relationship is quite shallow as only then when ring (a sign of wealth) was present makes Sheila feel properly engaged.…

Locked up: should teens be tried as adults? (2008, 04 12) Weekly Reader publication p 1…
In contrast to teenagers, young children are allowed to do basically anything they wants; children can also get away with anything. Children do not have to worry about having any hard work, or responsibilities. Children can go outside and play for hours. They can make all the mess they want and have someone else clean up after them. Life is like a wonderland for children, but as for teenagers, they have many responsibilities. Most teenagers have to go straight home after school to do chores, babysit younger siblings, do homework, and sometimes even study for exams. Some teenagers even have to pick up the responsibility of having a job to help out with household bills.…

This transition from childhood to adulthood is smooth for some but rough for others(Caspi, 2000). This essay will discuss predictable and non-predictable elements of the transition.

Each age brings its own disadvantages and challenges and of course youth age is not an exception. As a first disadvantage, young people usually lack financial independence. A second common challenge that they have to deal with is peer and family pressure. A third disadvantage is making frequent mistakes due to their lack of real life experience. In addition to the mentioned, adults sometimes show disrespect toward them and usually don’t take their opinions seriously.

A young adult is generally a person between the ages of 19 and 30. This stage involves the transition from adolescence to adulthood. In modern societies, young adults in their late teens and early 20s encounter a number of issues as they finish school and begin to hold full-time jobs and take on other responsibilities of adulthood. In the late teens and early 20s, young adults become individuals and will set themselves apart. Young adults will strive to become independent from parents, take responsibility for themselves and make their own decisions. During the young adult stage, mainly the majority think in a more mature manner and take issues more seriously. They also focus on the construction of a better future. Adolescents are generally regarded as naïve and inexperienced, but are expected to grow into mature adults in their 20s. Young adults in this stage of human development learn to establish a residence, form ideas about selecting a mate or close relationship and value both tangible and intangible objects.…

Compare with the previous generation, the youth today have more chances to make decision by themselves. In the other words, they are more free and dependent. For example, in the past, parents always interfere to their children’s life and push them to what they want even when their kids were not in favors such as marriage arrangements. Meanwhile, in the present, parents mostly allow them to do what they are interested in and try to give good advices to them; instead of causing arguments which easily break family relation. Moreover, today we have the internet, iPods, gaming devices, etc. We also know a lot more scientifically, which can help with our homework and other stuff. All makes the youth’s life become easier.…
