Adolescence is the creation of modern industrialization Oh povero ciccio, hai tanta paura?Scritto daNazi HeidiWakkus Horribilisil 2018-02-27 15:53:03.0 alle 2018-02-27 15:53:03.0Trollate totali: 4162Adolescence is the creation of modern industrialization, which got into high gear in the United States between 1880 and 1920. For most of human history before the Industrial Era, young people worked side by side with adults as soon as they were able, and it was not uncommon for young people, and especially young females, to marry and establish independent households soon after puberty.

Prior to the Industrial Era (beginning, roughly, in the mid-1700s), young people weren’t distinguished from adults in many respects. They worked alongside adults, especially in rural areas, and they were integrated partially or fully into adult society at a young age—sometimes well before puberty, but certainly shortly thereafter.

at some point—at least in the United States and some countries in Europe—young people began to be isolated from adults, and the prevailing attitudes about young people changed. They were no longer seen as reasonably capable members of society; rather, they became “sentimentalized.” Children were increasingly seen as helpless and incompetent beings requiring adult protection, and the age at which young people were defined as children steadily increased over the decades.
