Question: Daniel Levinson, from The Seasons of a Man's Life questions to answer:
Describe Levinson's formulations of the stages of development in men's adult life in America. What does he mean by "the early adult transition?" By "the Age 30 transition?" "The Mid-Life Transition?" What are some of the differences in the challenges faced in Early Adulthood vs. Middle and Late Adulthood, according to Levinson? Do you find his model interesting and relevant? If so, why? If not, why not? How relevant would this model be for understanding the adult life stages of women in America?
