Document Summary
Chapter 6: identity capital strategic adaptations to late-modern society. In answering this question, you may find it helpful to do the exercise described in the student guide (pp. 5-6), which involves watching watch meg jay"s ted talk, why 30 is not the new 20 (http://mashable. com/2013/07/08/ted-talkschange-your-life/). Late modern-society there is no ascription (pretty much) and there is no normative structure to replace identity formation = complex passage to adulthood = unwelcoming. In adulthood assume responsible, productive roles, develop intimate relationships, make contributions to community. Icm aims to bring issues of advantage an disadvantage to level where concern is for welfare of all students not categories based on background. Late modernity we need resources to deal with lack of normative structure and residual burdens of old structural barriers. Icm says that resources acquired developmentally become important especially psychological resources that facilitate agentic movement through social contexts.
