Western adolescents a. often celebrate the onset of puberty with an initiation ceremony b. are granted partial adult status at many different ages c. are formally recognized when they move from adolescence to adulthood d. are formally recognized when they move from childhood to adolescence

The answer is b. are granted partial adult status at many different ages

An adolescent is any person between the ages 10 and 22. Western adolescents have unprecedented freedom to choose from many different possible identities and many different possible life courses in love and work. They have opportunities for educational and occupational choices barely dreamed of by other adolescents in any part of the world.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,

if im not mistaken its a. collective emotional arousal
