• Answer:

  about life structure : http://tolweb.org/tree/home.pages/structure.html 14.3 Emerging adulthood is a phase of the life span between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, proposed by Jeffrey Arnett in a 2000 article in the American Psychologist. It primarily applies to young adults in developed countries who do not have children, do not live in their own home, or have a substantial income to become fully independent in their early to late 20's. 30 is when you are considered fully grown. That emerging adulthood is a new demographic is contentious, as some believe that twenty-somethings have always struggled with "identity exploration, instability, self-focus, and feeling in-between.(from wikipedia) 14.4 social theories like functionalist theory and conflict theory 14.5 young children develop frustration due to separation of their parents 14.6 mostly attitude difference cause this, difference in lifestyle, difference in logic, ideology difference are also other factors, there are 100s of other factors 14.7 sorry for this question, i actually have very less knowledge about this 14.8 they accomplish intimacy with the passage of time 14.9 http://transitiontoparenthood.com/ttp/ 14.10 family is always most important in the eastern society whereas it differs in western society, the spiritual kind of living in east differs from the physical life style in west. though friends are always important in every society...isn't it??? 14.11 individual is influenced by his own dreams, his nature, his passion....i suggest u to watch the movie "dead poets society" 14.12 it depends upon the person, some person never get satisfied whatever they do or how much they earn 14.14 women are very less when it comes to physical task(some may be the exception)
