Classification of young and/or middle adulthood in the context of your own experience

  Analyze Zastrow et al.’s classification of young and/or middle adulthood in the context of your own experience. How does the classification align with your own development during this time period? If your experience is different, why might this be? In particular, consider how the diverse aspects of your identity might impact your experience.    
At the same time however ,I did feel like certain aspects of my identity impacted how I experienced this stage of life compared to others - specifically being a queer woman from an immigrant family . For example ,I was very aware that there were certain traditional expectations placed on me based upon my culture and gender even if I didn't necessarily agree with them ;and so while some people may have taken more risks or felt less pressure regarding their futures during this stage ,I found myself constantly having to weigh potential decisions against what I thought would be most acceptable in the eyes of my family despite wishing otherwise sometimes . Additionally ,as someone who grew up in predominantly conservative/religious environments where LGBTQ+ identities weren't always welcome nor safe ,it wasn't until much later during my twenties when moved away from home that I felt comfortable enough exploring relationships with other women without fear judgement or repercussions. Overall then by comparing Zastrow et al.'s classification of young/middle adulthood against own experiences over those ages it's clear that both align quite well with one another; yet the wide range diversity amongst individual lives means our paths in getting there can often vary depending on any number of factors . Therefore its important recognize not only commonalities between all people within given age groups but differences too which could help create more inclusive spaces for growth regardless background heritage orientation etc

Sample Solution

Zastrow et al.’s classification of young and/or middle adulthood classifies this period of development into two distinct stages: early adulthood (ages 18-29) and middle adulthood (ages 30-39). They note that during this time, individuals typically experience a period of exploration and self-discovery in which they may experiment with different lifestyles and work to establish their own identities while at the same time engaging in more responsible behaviors such as economic stability, marriage, parenthood, etc.. This has definitely been my own experience throughout these ages. I remember feeling excited about the possibilities for my future but also wanting to make sure that I took practical steps towards achieving those goals - like finding a job or going back to school.
