A person usually undergoes rites of passage when they choose to become part of a certain group. When the rites of passage is completed then they are prepared to be initiated into the group, in the two stories read in class I noted two examples of rite of passage and initiation experienced by the main character of each story first-hand. In the story “A&P” Sammy is at work and identifies his rites of passage when three un-conformed females enter the store and steals his attention , when he see his manager mistreat the girls he feel he must quit in order to gain his un-conformed independence and join the group. In the story “Doe Season” Andy the daughter of a…
A rite of passage is a ritual that moves an individual from one social statue to another (Nanda). There are five main stage of development that rites of passage signify, they are rite to birth, rite to adulthood, rite to marriage, rite to eldership and rite to ancestorship (Ampim). Among these, five stages of development there are certain milestones either societal or religious that we consider being rites of passage because they indicate a transition from one statue to another or they indicate a change in our statue among society. For example receiving ones drivers license or having your first legal alcoholic drink at the age of twenty-one are considered to be societal rites of passage because they signifies one entering adulthood. In addition,…

The transition into adulthood is a period of growth that many people will remember for the rest of their lives. Adulthood is the period where a person has reached his or her full growth development, and maturity. This period of growth comes along with a lot of changes. As an individual moves into their adulthood he or she encounters a variety of changes within the body. For example, he or she sees changes in skin appearance, vision and hearing, and his or her immune system functioning. An individual will also become more aware of what life is about, and will be focused more on succeeding in his or her goals. It is also a time period where some individuals start to consider settling down with a significant other, and building together. An individual…
During the early stages of childhood, children grow and develop by learning new skills in every aspect of their life. There are many kinds of development from birth to eight years including these areas: neurological, cognitive, speech, language & communication, physical, emotional and social. Focusing on these areas, every child will grow and develop differently from one another, however each stage they go through are very similar. Working with a group of children with the same age can help recognise their differences and similarities during their development. This can also help recognise the pattern of each child’s development and which one is working at a faster or slower rate.…
0-3 Physical development from birth is usually very quick, within the first few weeks of being born a baby will smile and start responding to sounds and environments. Gradually their muscles start to develop and by 6 months they will start reaching for and holding objects. Around the time a baby reaches one year they are beginning to crawl, and can roll from front to back. Using furniture to aid themselves in standing or using adult support to start taking some first steps. They are now able to sit unaided. Hand eye coordination starts improving as they pass objects between both hands. Teeth may start to show and more solid food will be introduced to them. As they move towards the age of two a child will begin walking and using toys to push and pull while they are walking. Picking objects up in different ways, building small towers and starting to show a preference for one hand. Pointing at their choices and waving and using their head to tell you yes or no. Between two and three they will start making marks on paper and developing their fine motor skills. Gross motor skills will develop, kicking balls and throwing them.…
“Being an adult isn’t a matter of age. It’s a matter of responsibility”( Jonathan L Howard). During our teenage years, we are always being told that we’re too young to do a variety of things adults do simply because “we are too young”. It’s safe to say that even the government believes we are too young as teenagers, with all the restrictions they put on us. But in a way, the set age of adulthood with some activities are biased.…
If you work with children, your career is likely to involve close working with other agencies. Multi-agency working is an effective way of supporting children and families with additional needs. Multi-agency working brings together practitioners from different sectors and professions within the workforce to provide integrated support to children and their families, for example a ‘team around the child’. It is an effective way of supporting children with additional needs and helping to secure real improvements in their life outcomes. Multi-agency working brings together practitioners and working professionals to provide a way of working together to support children and young people through their development. This is very important in ensuring that each and every child is supported in their development to all achieve the same outcomes. Agency professionals such as GP’s, SENCO’s, speech and language specialists and social services and external organisations such as dance teachers, children’s entertainers, sporting groups etc all integrate their support to help aid young people and children in their learning development. By up-keeping communication and working together, the childs primary needs are being met and maintained and any additional support that a child or young person may need can be dealt with and extended in an appropriate way that best suits the needs of that child.…

Rites of passages are stages in life every person goes through, for example, getting your very first car. Every culture have different types of rites of passages, in the Jewish culture they have bar mitzvahs for boys that have turned thirteen years old. And in North America they have sweet sixteen birthday parties for girls on their sixteenth birthday. Getting married is another example of a rite of passage, showing that you are fully entering adulthood and ready to settle in life. There are many more "first" things that we go through in life that are examples of rites of passages.…
Later Adulthood is a period of many changes. According to Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, “Later adulthood is the last major segment of the life span” (p.587). Individuals who are in going through their later adulthood are experiencing and dealing with an immense amount of emotions and feelings. There are several areas of an individual’s life that are effected by later adulthood. An individual’s work life, health, marriage, living situation, family relationships, and social relationships are all things that can be affected in some way by later adulthood. It is important for one to understand to the best of their ability the processes and events that take place in later adulthood, because it is something that almost everybody will eventually experience.…
The transition from adolescent to adulthood is something everyone has or will go through in their life, in the new generation of Millennial this transition seems to be elongated and now referred to as “Emerging Adulthood”. Emerging Adulthood is a coined term by Jeffery Arnett for a new transitional period between adolescence and adulthood where people experience self discovery, instability, optimism, and self-focused in the ages of 18-25. This new transitional period is a phenomenon that only occurs within individuals in developed countries, middle class socioeconomic status, and most often attending a secondary school. It is a fascinating new time period in which has the media roaring in questions about what this will mean for the future…
After leaving the adolescence stage, young adults are not ready mentally to take on adult roles and responsibilities. Therefore the stage called emerging adulthood takes place before adulthood is entered. According to a survey, a large amount of Americans felt they were adult only in their late twenties and early thirties. During the period of emerging adulthood, many common changes take place in educational paths, jobs, love partners, and identity. Also, many people make changes their majors several times, and after graduating enter graduate school which delays settlement into the desired career path. Since young adults are always on the move, they move in and out of homes and resident halls. Due to unsettlement in career and being on the move, results in delay marriage as well. However, not every young adult around the world goes through this typical phase – emerging adulthood. Many young adults in non-western countries have no emerging adulthood. They enter marriage, parenthood, and lifelong work early. In low-SES families, young people do not finish high school or are unprepared for college, and are less likely to leave home, therefore emerging adulthood is nonexistent.…
