Question

How did Aristotle view adolescence?

a) As a period of youth characterized by the development of reason and rational thinking.
b) As a time of physical growth without significant cognitive changes.
c) As a stage of life with no specific characteristics or importance.
d) As a period marked by excessive indulgence and immaturity.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option d) As a period marked by excessive indulgence and immaturity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aristotle viewed adolescence as a period marked by excessive indulgence and immaturity. He believed young people during this stage are led by their impulses and have high capacities for change, but this is balanced with a tendency to make hasty decisions and a lack of practical wisdom.

Aristotle's perspective points out that this stage involves significant cognitive and emotional development, and the development of reason and rational thinking that will fully materialize later as the young person matures.
