When I was reading this article I thought to myself, "exactly!" Today its easy to tell that people are more relaxed with their responsibilities,at an early age, than their parents were before them. I know that my parents had been pushed to achieve goals at an early age. This was mainly because their parents had lived through the great depression and that mentality and drive to accomplish goals was a driving factor for them while they were growing up. In a sense, just like the article said, they had to jump right into adult hood. With the acceptance of more and more ideas that once were out of the norm, it make total sense that the "emerging adulthood" is coming to light.
The part that I immensely interesting was that the articles said "emerging adulthood" was not universal. So I can agree with the fact that it is not an essential part of growing up, but i do believe that it is highly beneficial. I look forward to gaining a more in depth understanding of this subject through out or class. Very good article!
