The young adulthood is an important stage in the personal development of any individual. This is the stage when the basic moral, ethical and cultural values of an individual are shaped. At any rate, an individual lays a foundation to his or her set of values that will affect his or entire life. At the same time, the young adulthood is the transitional period from the youth to adulthood. What is meant here is the fact that the young adulthood is the time when individuals end up their learning and basic academic activities, on the one hand, and start their professional career, on the other.
In terms of the developmental psychology, young adulthood is an important stage in the personal development of an individual. In fact, each individual passes through different stages in his or her cognitive development, while the young adulthood accomplishes the formation of the personality, when views and beliefs of an individual are shaped as well as moral values and standards of the individual. For the rest of his or her life, an individual can change his or her views, beliefs and values but basic principles remain unchanged.
In addition, the young adulthood is the transitional stage, when an individual accomplishes education and starts a professional career. This is an important point in the development of each individual. As a rule, young adults are full of aspirations and they are highly optimistic about their future. Finally, the young adulthood is the time of the beginning of the formation of close family relations, when individuals attempt to find their partner, whom they would like to create a family.
Thus, the young adulthood is an important stage in the personal development of each individual.
