Discussion 1: Defining Adulthood

To Prepare
  • From your Learning Resources, select two cultures in relation to one factor that may mark adulthood.
  • Search the Internet and/or the Walden University Library to select an additional scholarly article related to at least one of the two cultures and the one additional factor that mark adulthood to support your Discussion post.
