Early Adulthood- Ted Talk Assignment
Watch the video titled "Why does it take so long to grow up today"and reflect on what Jefferey Arnett has to say about early adulthood.
Arnett says that "thirty is the new 20" and that young adults are prolonging transitioning into early adulthood based on four reasons-the technology revolution, the sexual revolution, the women's movement and the youth movement.
He also says that by separating the first part of early part of adulthood as a distinct period in which he calls "Emerging Adulthood" young adults can take their time withidentity development, career choices, partner choice, parenthood and learning essential skills that may or may not be useful.
He calls it a time of "unprecedented and unparalleled period of freedom" where nobody depends on you and you have no responsibilities or obligations.
In his closing statements he states "don't let anyone stampeed you into adulthood, adulthood will be there when you are ready and once you get there you can never go back".
Specifically, Jay had three tips she thinks every 20-something can benefit from hearing:
1."Forget about having an identity crisis; get some identity capital." By this she means, do something that adds value to who you are. Exploring new opportunities is great, but only if they count. Otherwise, you're just procrastinating.
2."The urban tribe is overrated." Friends are great, but your "weak ties"-friends of friends of friends-are where the opportunities are going to come from. Expand your circle.
3."The time to start picking your family is now." Jay says that the best time to start working on your marriage is before you have one. You don't have to be married by 25, but stop wasting time and look for what you want now.
Please answer the following questions and feel free to share anything else that comes to mind when reflecting on theseTEDtalks.
1. Consider eachpresenter's point of view and tell me your thoughts on their presentations. Do you agree or disagree with their suggestions, why or why not?
2. Choose one statement from each presenter that caught your attention and why it resonated with you?
3. If you are still in your 20's or approaching your 20s, who's advice would you consider and why?
4. If you have already gone through the Early Adulthood stage, who's advice do you think is more valid and why?
