RESPONDING TO PEERS!!!! Respond to two colleagues by Compare your experience with theirs. Hey Annie! I enjoyed reading your post. Thank you for your service! In my original post, I did not mention that I joined the army at the age of 19. It was always a dream of mine to join the military, and in young adulthood, I decided to pursue my dream. Unfortunately, I got medically discharged due to fracturing my hip at 23. Zastrow et al. (2019) mention that young adulthood is an exciting and challenging time. I had many ups and downs during this time in my life. I got married, joined the military, had my son, fractured my hip, divorced, and then rejoined school. Within each of our journeys through young adulthood, we both experienced a significant focus on personal and career development. Zatrow et al. (2019) highlight that individuals focus on establishing their identities and making their dreams come true during this stage. Based on your experience, if you could give advice to someone in young adulthood, what would it be? Then, address the dangers of generalizing young/middle adulthood experiences across all clients. Recognizing the dangers of generalizing young and middle adulthood experiences across all clients is important. Individuals come from various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, which can lead to a wide range of life experiences. It is crucial to recognize that what one person may experience may not apply to another due to these factors. For instance, although we have commonalities within our young adulthood experience, we also have differences. Additionally, unexpected life events can occur, which can change the trajectory of a person's life. Zastrow et al. (2019) highlights that young and middle adulthood are life stages with a wide range of experiences. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge each individual as unique and be open-minded to meet their needs effectively. Thank you for sharing! Reference: Zastrow, C. H., Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hessenauer, S. L. (2019). Understanding human behavior and the social environment (11th ed.). Cengage Learning. - Chapter 10, "Biological Aspects of Young and Middle Adulthood" (pp. 455–484) ANOTHER PEER!!!!!! Comparing your experience with theirs. Hey Cheryl! I have not yet reached middle adulthood, but reading about your experience was interesting. Congratulations on working towards your second master's degree! Thank you so much for sharing your story! A significant life event that we seem to have in common is that we
both got married at a fairly young age. Speaking for myself, getting married at a young age involved taking on adult responsibilities, which brought me opportunities and challenges. Zastrow et al. (2019) mentions that the transition into adulthood is not a clear-cut dividing line, and it is difficult to pinpoint the exact time in our life when we talk about young adulthood. What are some challenges you have encountered in middle adulthood? Then, address the dangers of generalizing young/middle adulthood experiences across all clients. We shared a similar experience of getting married at a young age. However, it made me reflect on how life experiences can lead to diverse outcomes based on our individual choices and circumstances. At the age of 23, I got divorced, which changed the direction of my life. It is important to recognize the dangers of generalizing young and middle adulthood experiences across all clients. Each person’s journey and experience through life stages can be influenced by various factors such as personal choice, life events, and cultural backgrounds. You mentioned feeling like you skipped young adulthood and moved directly into middle adulthood due to your early marriage. This is a perfect example of how each individual's path can differ due to personal choices. Social workers must recognize that clients come from different backgrounds and life situations to avoid making assumptions that can lead to misunderstandings. Reference: Zastrow, C. H., Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hessenauer, S. L. (2019). Understanding human behavior and the social environment (11th ed.). Cengage Learning. - Chapter 10, "Biological Aspects of Young and Middle Adulthood" (pp. 455–484) Hello, Dr. Muri. Zastrow et al. (2019) defines human diversity as the range of differences among groups, which include age, class, ethnicity, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, and more. My experiences in young adulthood demonstrate several aspects of diversity. Each of my diverse experiences has shaped me into the person I am today. For instance, getting married and being a parent at a young age was a major aspect of my developmental journey. Following my divorce, I learned to embrace my sexual orientation as a queer woman. My cultural background as a Hispanic female played a major role in my life decisions. I was fearful of what everyone else would think of me, but I eventually came around to embracing my unique diversity. My experiences have contributed to my growth and self-acceptance.
