Subject: Rites of Passage

In class we discussed rites of passage, and if our society had more defined rites of passage what effect it would have on adolescents and adults. We discussed that certain adults, although having obtained their first independent job or having gone through other rites of passage, still do not take on the responsibility of adulthood. On the other hand, children and adolescents from impoverished backgrounds often take on adult responsibilities and go through certain rites of passage at a young age. Many children have their first job very early in life in order to help support their family or are helping take care of their younger siblings and often acting as the parent. The transition into adulthood from adolescence is often obscured by the necessity of growing up or the rebellion against it.
