Document Summary
Contrasting views of adolescent storm and stress: freudians- normal and necessary, strum and drang, libidinal surges reawaken conflicts, outer turmoil shows development, bandura social learning theory, we get storm and stress because we expect it. If freud is right storm and stress is universal not culture development. Different cultures, different transitional experiences: the circle of life: rituals from the human family album. Different does not equate with better or worse . Markers of adult status: social, educational, physical, economic, religious, sexual, thinking, risk taking, maturity, responsibility. In the us, there are no specific culture-wide rituals comparable to those in pre- industrial societies: religious ceremonies like confirmation, membership, or bar mitzvah no longer play the roles they held in earlier cohorts. American adulthood: there is greater ambiguity in adult status today in comparison to past generations. In the industrial past it was fairly clear when one became an adult.
