Early Adulthood

    What are the major issues and markers of emerging adulthood including living arrangements and career? Michael Kimmel (Guyland) believes that we are in the process of creating a new stage of development between adolescence and full adulthood as the result of our transformation from an industrial society to a post-industrial society much the same way that our transformation from agricultural society to an industrial society created adolescence. What are your thoughts? Do you believe that Kimmel is right? Why would teens need “extra time” to become a full adult?
