Question
Discuss the stages of adulthood.
Solution
The stages of adulthood are typically divided into three phases:
- Early Adulthood: This stage is commonly marked by an emphasis on building a career, developing close relationships, and initiating family life.
- Middle Adulthood: During this stage, there is a greater emphasis on one's career and professional goals, as well as the duties of nurturing and providing for a family. Individuals may also go through physical changes, such as menopause in women and a decline in physical energy.
- Late Adulthood: This stage is distinguished by retirement and a decreased emphasis on employment and career. During this time, older persons may endure physical and cognitive decline, as well as an increased chance of health issues like Alzheimer's disease.
