Middle Adulthood

Middle Adulthood

Middle Adulthood; “prime time” or the “beginning of the end”?

Various factors count when determining whether middle Adulthood is a ‘prime time’ or ‘beginning of the end.’ Middle Adulthood is the ‘beginning of the end.’ Based on various biological and psychological factors, middle Adulthood appears to be a crisis period. Most individuals begin to transition to old age. At this point, people start to evaluate their lives. The goals that remain unmet glare in their face. Unfortunately, the appearance of gray hair instills anxiety as people realize their time is significantly reduced (Baron & Sholevar, 2008).

Situations of doubting oneself may lead to stress. Besides these psychosocial factors, people in midlife also face health complications. The failing vision requires individuals to wear spectacles. Other medical conditions, such as cardiac conditions, high blood pressure, and skeletal pains, begin to present (Wright, 2016). In addition, the appearance of aging tends to bother more people, especially women.

Based on the factors that tend to occur naturally, middle Adulthood is a developmental stage that can turn one’s life around. The experience can be negative or positive depending on how an individual handles the phase. Underlying issues cause stress. Psychologists suggest that these stressors are addressed to make this development stage worthwhile.

Middle Adulthood

In studying the subculture of a particular group, a sociologist must be accepted by the people and gain their trust. One such researcher is studying the people in an urban slum. She learns through their confidence that certain community members are involved in a car theft ring. She does not report them to the police.

Identify the moral issue(s) and the parties involved; identify what virtues are at stake or which relationships of care are at stake.
