The term adult has at least three distinct meanings. It can indicate a biologically grown or mature person. It may also mean a plant, animal, or person who has reached full growth or alternatively is capable of reproduction, or the classification legal adult, generally determined as a person who has attained the legally fixed age of majority; as opposed to a minor. Adulthood can be defined in biology, psychological adult development, law, personal character, or social status. These different aspects of adulthood are often inconsistent and contradictory. A person may be biologically an adult, and have adult behavior but still be treated as a child if they are under the legal age of majority. Conversely one may legally be an adult but possess none of the maturity and responsibility that define adult character. Some propose that moving into adulthood involves an emotional structuring of denial, suggesting this process becomes necessary to cope with one's own behavior, especially in uncomfortable situations, and also the behavior of others. Historically and cross-culturally, adulthood has been determined primarily by the start of puberty (the appearance of secondary sex characteristics such as menstruation in women, ejaculation in men, and pubic hair in both sexes). In the past a person usually moved from the status of child directly to the status of adult, often with this shift being marked by some type of coming-of-age test or ceremony.

There are many mantras instilled in us as children that are designed to inspire wisdom and guide us on the right path into adulthood. ‘Waste not want not’ is one such maxim, intended to convey the meaning and value of money and by ensuring nothing is ever wasted, then nothing will ever be wanted. This could refer to not spending hard earned cash on something that really isn’t needed, or serving only as much food at a meal as is necessary – anything that isn’t consumed will normally go to waste. However, many would argue that consumerism has led to a ‘throw-away society’, built on over-... (read more)
