Order Description
• Watch the talk Why 30 is not the new 20. Romantic relationships and finding a career path are two major developmental tasks accomplished during the transitional stage of early adulthood. As you write your essay, answer these questions; please include specific examples from your own life throughout:
• As you find yourself in this stage, or as you once were in this stage, what personal developmental tasks and conflicts are you/were you faced with?
• What specific personal life structures are you creating or did create to meet these tasks and conflicts?
• How have your life structures regarding romantic relationships and career been influenced by your family, peers, cultural norms, or personal values?
