I am twenty-six years old and I am in the young adulthood stage of life. As a young adult I have had to deal with several big issues/decisions. One difficult decision that I have had to make is learning to let go of people. The second difficult decision I have had to make is going back to school. I have had the difficult decision of letting those whom I care about go for the safety of my family. My grandmother had recently found out that she had cancer. My aunt had been giving us problems for awhile but she completley disrespected me, my mother, and my grandmother. We had our words. So I was left with the difficult decision to not associate with her or let her around my family. Over the summer my best friend had forced me to let her go. She was a sister to me but I could no longer deal with her. She tried to get me to lie to her husband about her cheating on her husband in my house. Being raised on good morals I could not do it. Now it's like our relationship never existed. I let her and her family go because I did not want my kids raised around someone like that. Another hard decision was going back to college to earn a degree. I have been dealing with this issue since I have graduated high school. I wanted to go to college, but there were a few things setting me back. I have bad anxiety being around a lot of people. When I went to orientation at Western Univerity, I was completely petrified and walked out. I applied a couple years later to another college but soon found out I was pregnant with my first child. So I didn't attend. Now I have two little ones but I had to make the dicision to go back to school. It is difficult raising to kids having a dead end job. I am not saying that it is easy going tosc... ... middle of paper ... ...s favorite sport) since his grandfathers death. A big decision he has made was getting his license. He loves to drive around town, pick up girls, and just do his own thing. He even took over his grandfathers truck. He told me that he loves to come and go as he pleases. He feels more like an adult now that he has got his drivers license. As we age, we are forced to make big decisions and deal with difficult issues. The issues of each generation are similar because everyone makes big decisions and deals with difficult issues. They are different because each generation has diffenrent more complex issues and how they are dealt with. In adolescence, we start dealing with issues and decisions. In young adulthood, people start to act on moral and good judgement. In middle adulthood, most people know what they want and start developing more health problems.
Going back to college after you have been out of school for quite a few years, had three children, been married, and divorced is a lot harder than I ever imagined. It takes hard work, dedication, and missing out on the little things previously taken for granted. I miss taking naps the most. I believe if you can tough it out through the worst days, you can finish school and provide a better life for your children and yourself. You need a lot of willpower and a large sense of humor.
College is hard, scary, and stressful especially with children involved. I think it is a good thing I went to college when I did otherwise, I would be stuck in the same minimum wage job that I have had for the past year. It is going to be hard and stressful but the truth is that were all scared. It is just a matter of pushing myself into getting where I want to be. My main fear with college is mainly flunking out, it is scary but, it is also achievable. I thought to myself, “Hey, if my best friend can go to college then why I can I not”. There was three things that pushed me into going to college. Those are: getting a better job so I can spoil my children, continuing my education, and to be a role model for my children.
Hinduism is a religion that teaches people not only the ultimate goal of their existence but also the best method to achieve it. In order to do this, an individual’s life must be separated into four phases (also called Asramas). These are:
The Baby Boomer generation is referred to as the “me” generation wanted their children to be spoiled with every possible option. Like helicopters, they hovered in the background, ready to sweep down, solve crises and offer new destinations. (Setooodeh) The Millenial generation is referred to as the “me, me, me” generation and grew up making the rules because their parents were not authoritative. Their lives are dictated by their smart gadgets and they are living at home longer.
Lifespan development is essential, as it is the changes that happen to us throughout a person’s lifespan. Our development occurs at ages stages where we develop from infancy till death. This essay will contain my life story to display the domains in 5 age stages in my lifespan development. The domains I will be exploring is in this essay is physical, emotional, cognitive, social, cultural and moral domain. The influence of biological and environmental play a significant role in my development. Development is influenced by nature or nurture and its affect will occur throughout lifespan. The changes that occur during development have stage. Each theorists has stages of development where they display the changes. This essay will explore my development that will support theorist such as Erikson, Vygotsky, Berk, Piaget and other theorist. The age stages of prenatal will display physical and emotional domain, Infancy (0-2) will portray social and emotional domain, young children (2-6) will show cognitive and social domain, middle childhood (6-12) will display socio-cultural and moral domain and adolescence will portray nature vs. nurture and cultural domain. Development is crucial for a healthy wellbeing. As a physiotherapist it is significant to understand development in age stages, as it will aid knowing how young children will react compared to an adolescence who is more development mentally, emotionally, physically, socially and culturally.
Erik Erikson developed the eight stages of life theory. Erikson’s theory focuses on the development from birth to death, social context, and interpersonal relations during each stage of life (McAdams, 2009). In the same manner, each stage of life is comprehendible in three levels, such as the body, ego, and family and culture. The eight stages of life are infancy (trust vs. mistrust), early childhood (autonomy vs. shame and doubt), childhood (initiative vs. guilt), childhood (industry vs. inferiority), adolescence and young adulthood (identity vs. role confusion), young adulthood (intimacy vs. isolation), mature adulthood (generativity vs. stagnation (or self-absorption)), and old age (ego integrity vs. despair).
As children grow towards adolescence they go through many stages of development. Child development refers to the stages of physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and language growth that occurs from the birth to beginning of adulthood. All aspects of a child's development may be affected by many different factors, including a poor learning environment, lack of social interaction, cultural background differences, abuse, and loss of a parent. All of the before mentioned examples can affect the child's maturation, "a biological growth process that enables orderly changes in behavior, relatively uninfluenced by experience" (Myers 172). Children grow and mature at very different rates, some faster than others, which is why it is necessary to understand the importance of the different types of child development. Though all parts of child development are important, it is probably language learning that is most important to a child's development as a whole.
Childhood and Adulthood are similar in learning, making their own decisions, and having goals in life.
I will list some general characteristics of people who belong to each of these generations. However, be careful not to stereotype and make certain assumptions about an individual because of their age. Many members of the younger generations moved far away from home in hopes of getting rid of their parents, only to find that they'll be working with them. To younger w...
Up to this point, all the major decisions in my life were made by my parents. To make this decision on my own for my future and where I want to spend the next four years of my life proves that I am moving on from being a carefree child to becoming a responsible adult. “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” by Theodore Roosevelt.
My generation has been handed a lot of issues to hopefully be solved by my generation. The government has a national debt and unsustainable welfare programs. Programs that are well-meaning but cannot be financed by my generation. Changes will have to come through inventive minds of my generation. Also currently there are very few job opportunities for my generation. Many college graduates cannot get jobs. College cost are at an all time high, many of my generation wonder if it is worth the cost or is it even a possibility. The American dream of a college education, a good job, nice home, and car are seeming more and more unattainable to my generation.
I took a long, hard look at the people around me and figured out what their good attributes were and why they were significant in my life. When I figured out who they were as people and what they could give as a friend, versus what I needed as a friend, I made my decision. It wasn’t a decision that was said out loud or one that was publicized. I just directed my energy towards the people who needed my friendship in return for the friendship they had shown me. When I realized who was a true friend and who was not, it hurt. There was a lot of pain, knowing somebody didn’t care as much about me and my well=being as I had wanted them to. It wasn’t until later, that I realized they could still be in my life, just not as much involved it as they once
The interests,food, habits,slang, entertainment and also the way of thinking of the younger generation differs from the older generation. These changes are indicative of progress, unfortunately, the older generation find it hard to accept these changes that make the gap wider. They differ in the way of dressing for example, the younger generation wear jeans and stay up to date in their style unlike the older generation. As the older generation has their own style according to their age. So the older generation might find these outfits inappropriate.
In this essay, we will try to analyze the root causes behind intergenerational tensions, how to build cohesion between generations, how politics can tackle these problems and is democracy the most promising way to create a balance.
