Adolescence
Adolescence is f transitioning time between childhood and adulthood. Society teaches this age group the way it does because at this point in your life you need to transition from adult to child by slowing having more and more responsibilities as the years go on. The way the government is treating people this age is by giving the adolescence slowly more and more responsibility like allowing them to drive, vote, and be able to get arrested just like an adult. The struggle this creates for teenagers is that they are unsure what they are supposed to be responsible for and what they are not supposed to be responsible for. Since things slowly get harder as they get older it is a slow and hard transition. Status power is what adolescence spend a lot of their time worrying about. People want to fit in and do what everyone else is doing around them. In present day a lot of people like wearing popular brand names at the current time and the most up to date items that those brand name sell. Also people don't want to discuss an action they are going to do if that would come off as not being normal. People like to try and be like everyone else around them. The impact this has on development is probably that people will go through all their life trying to fit in. This might all be able to be avoided if people were to just do what they like and not worry about what everyone else is doing.
