Human Growth and Development / Unit 10 HGD 1354 short lesson, about 20 seconds
No Single Marker of Adulthood
Captions available
The idea
No single marker confers adult status in every area; an eighteen-year-old can vote but not buy alcohol, and can drive but not rent a car.
In practice
A graduation ceremony, a driver's licence and a first job, each marking adulthood in one domain only.
Where people slip
The patchwork of markers is one reason adolescence can feel ambiguous.
