1. I interviewed Quinton Schnier on April 12, 2016 in a face-to-face interview. I felt very comfortable interviewing him. I interviewed Steve Riojas on April 15, 2015 over the telephone. I felt very comfortable interviewing him as well.
2. From these interviews, I learned that face-to-face communication is much more effective than speaking over the phone. Non-verbal gestures can be seen during a face-to-face communication, which helps greatly in understanding when a person is being serious or joking, the importance of what they are speaking about and providing visual cues in conversation. This type of communication can not be used over the phone.

After completing this assignment, I realized many similarities and differences between emerging adulthood and middle adulthood. In regards to significant relationships, both interviewees talked about their relationships with people who make them want to be better individuals. Both of the interviewees were raised with an authoritative parenting style and it can be seen in Quinton’s life goals and Steve’s current life status that this parenting style has played an enormous role in creating successful, productive individuals. Steve did not have the same opportunities as Quinton currently has in education because he began working right away, however it can be seen that success is still prevalent. Steve was raised in an environment that taught him to find his own successes in every situation, which then proved later in life that success is not only contingent upon education level. It can be seen that both Steve and Quinton were raised in very similar environments regarding parenting style and family style, and they both seem to have similar personalities and end-goals in life because of this. Quinton is currently in the emerging adulthood stage of life. Individuals in this life stage are self-sufficient, make their own decisions, accept full responsibility for all actions, and are financially independent (Baltimore, D., HD FS 102 lecture, 2016, Spring). Steve is currently in the middle adulthood stage of life. Individuals in this life stage are settled into a career and have

This book may not be suitable for everybody since the book was presented towards a privileged, college graduate population based on Jay’s client examples. For young adults who have not attained higher education, have the lack of financial or supportive resources, it may be problematic to utilize the book since they might not see themselves from the client examples. While the book may be tailored to one population of the young adults, the same message can be said to everybody: Your twenties are important in establishing the rest of your adulthood and make the most out of

Young adults seem to be achieving adulthood at a later time in life. Whether it’s college students going back to their home or living on their parents budget late into their lives, many adolescents seem to be achieving adulthood less and less in their twenties than generations before. In Henig’s article titled, “What Is It About 20-Somethings”, she states that “getting to what we would generally call adulthood is happening later than ever” (200). Trying to explain this new advancement, Henig sources Professor Jeffrey Arnett, who has introduced the rise of a new life stage, identified by exploring one 's identity, self-focus, and endless possibilities for the prospect called “emerging adulthood”. A bulk of the blame for the development of Arnett’s new stage of life that Henig explores can be sourced on the recent popularity of social media that is discussed in Maria Konnikova’s article “The Limits of Friendship”.

As adolescences enter adulthood, they enter a long transitional period, often known as “emerging adult”. This transitional period takes place over a range of 18 to 25 years old (Santrock, 2013). At this stage, emerging adults are still in exploration in the various aspect of life such as the career path they are interested in, defining their identities and a style of living they would want to adopt. Thus, adolescences who are in transition will be caught with many intense changes and will experience major life events that are all of great importance.

Also, between the ages of 17-22 there is a transitional period of about five years from pre adulthood to young adulthood.
