5. Define identity, and describe one major influence on identity during
adolescence.
A persons identity are the things in their life that give them their
originality. This could be aspects such as interests, choices, values,
beliefs, appearance, habits and ethnicity. Some aspects that could be a
major influence on identity during adolescence are the culture they are
in, their parents and friends, and even their gender.
6. Choose one aspect of adulthood (early, middle, or late) that interests you,
and explain why.
One aspect of adulthood that interests me is the switch in their life
from being a dependent individual to independent. This interests me,
partly, because I will be soon going through this change, but also
because it is such a large difference from depending on your parents to
being the sole provider for yourself. Im sure there is a tremendous
strain emotionally on a person going through this, so Id be interested
to see how exactly that kind of change affects someone.
