What is Adult ?
A period of human development.
In this period of time, as humans, we change into different people. The main differences can be
physical, psychological, and cognitive ones associated with the aging process.
“Adulthood” is defined as a phase that is open to development and begins with maturity.
Adults:
→ get responsibilities.
→ are expected to perform duties and obligations.
→ are allowed to do things that non-adults are not.
→ are expected to know things.
× People who are not adults are not trusted, not extended
opportunities, not given responsibilities… and that’s just a
recipe for stagnation, boredom, and emptiness.
• Here’s the tricky bit …
There are a lot of majority-aged
people running around who are
arguably not adults.
There are also points in our lives
when we will stop being adults, at
least for a moment, and other events
that can remove our adult status
permanently.
Importance and
advantages of
being adult.
1. “You can choose your own
pants.”
An adult is not dominated by the will of another. They choose their own path and do not
give others undue influence over their fate. This isn’t to say they don’t accept guidance,
but it focuses the agency of choice on the person, not their guide.
2. You have the ability to
change your circumstances.
Everyone :
→ have the ability to change their life.
→ can start their own business and change his/her career.
3. “You can have chocolate cake for
breakfast.”
→ Understanding being responsible for the things that they do.
→ Understanding the limits of their own personal responsibility.
→ Not to try to dodge their responsibility.
4. An adult gives trust based on
proof.
Also, they do not give their trust based on another person’s personality or
unverified words.
5. Adults can choose their own
network
