Journal #13: Early and Emerging Adulthood
Our class lectures consisted about furthering our discussion on early adulthood to emerging adulthood and a little on middle adulthood (more on this tomorrow). We discussed the cognitive, physical and the psychosocial development of early-emerging-mid adulthood. I have listed some of the key phrases below and some ideas as to the direction you may choose to go for this journal assignment. You are not limited to my list and are permitted to go in your own direction. Choose one or two of the things we discussed in lecture and go deeper into it. Use the internet and other resources and show your understanding and growth of knowledge in that area in whatever means you would like to explore. |
