  1. Hi, my name is Kevin Roger and today I'll be talking about
  2. the things that start adulthood.
  3. What makes adulthood well, first and foremost adulthood,
  4. it gives you a new set of responsibilities. Um,
  5. new duties in society that
  6. you are kind of obligated to paying taxes, paying bills and all that.
  7. So there are a few things that kind of marked the transition into adulthood.
  8. Um there's nothing technically that
  9. makes you
  10. considering it all unless you turn 18, you're legally an adult at that point, but
  11. there are actual things that kind of push you into that role
  12. of being an adult and having those responsibilities that adult has.
  13. Um,
  14. one thing that
  15. catapults you into adulthood, our role transitions,
  16. role transitions are defined as assuming the responsibilities and duties
  17. and that could range from a bunch of different things.
  18. First you have voting
  19. At the legal age of 18, you are able to vote,
  20. which marks a new sense of duty and society.
  21. A lot of dark side for him,
  22. graduating also at 18 that could either be graduating high school,
  23. you could be graduating college that puts you into a new level
  24. in society or provides you new opportunities to move up and careers,
  25. whatever career would like and it provides you
  26. the opportunity to grow in a lifelong career.
  27. Moving out is also considered a stepping stone into adulthood,
  28. you now have new sense of responsibilities ranging from
  29. bills to newfound independence and the independence could be
  30. providing for yourself grocery shopping,
  31. remembering to clean after yourself in your own home.
  32. A lot of the things that you aren't getting reminded of
  33. like you would be if you were living with your parents
  34. now in different cultures, you have rites of passages.
  35. Uh, marriage is considered of rights of rite of passage, which
  36. basically pushes you into adulthood now that you are
  37. splitting your life up,
  38. giving half your life to another person and starting a new life with them.
  39. That is also one.
  40. Um,
  41. a lot of religion religions have different rites
  42. of passages that also move you into adulthood.
  43. Um, Quinceaneras, bar mitzvahs, etcetera.
  44. Those are all considered rites of passages depending on the culture.
  45. Um, that basically pushed you into adulthood,
  46. Becoming a full time employee.
  47. That was also kind of considered under graduating,
  48. but you can also become a full time employee without graduating.
  49. So becoming a full time employee kind of gives
  50. you the responsibility of working 40 hours a week,
  51. you are now probably taking on new responsibilities as
  52. bills with your car or if you're living on yourself
  53. it gives you the opportunity to move out by yourself,
  54. save up and provide for yourself.
  55. So that is a really big one. Um,
  56. and honestly it could range from different things.
  57. There's nothing that really catapults you into adulthood.
  58. Um, just having new sets of responsibilities in maintaining that
  59. kind of builds your
  60. adult mindset basically and says the foundation from
  61. how you grew up by yourself,
  62. Thank you
