Age of majority in law: Legal means that one is capable of concluding a contract, and the legal age of puberty in many States is the age of eighteen for most purposes, whether for marriage, composite driving or personal decision-making.
I think the age of 18 indicates maturity. People atthi age are able to undertake responsibility to be independent. It is true that they become more wise when they grow up as life is always an accumulated experience.
An adult is a person or organism that is relatively close to what is called maturity, and is usually associated with sexual maturity at the age of reproduction. In the human context, the term has sub-meanings related to social and legal concepts; for example, the adult is the legal concept of a person who has reached adulthood and is self-reliant, self-sufficient and responsible (in contrast to the "minor"). The stage of puberty can be determined by physiology, adult psychological development, law, personality or social status.
These different aspects of puberty often contradict and contradict each other. A person may be adult in biology, behavior and adult behavior but is still treated as children as long as he is under legal age. On the contrary, one may be legally adult but do not have the attributes of maturity and responsibility that characterize adult personality.
A puberty event is reaching adulthood, and involves passing a series of tests to show that a person is ready for adulthood, or has reached the specified age, and sometimes in conjunction with showing his readiness for this stage. Most modern societies define legal age of puberty on the basis of reaching a legally defined age without the need to prove physical maturity or prepare for puberty.
The legal age for not being considered a minor is 18. However, brain development continues through age 25. That is the reason why some states have mandated the legal drinking age to be 21 although one can vote at age 18 and join the military at age 18. Yes, most decisions can be made in a rational manner by a person who is 18.
Even though age is not in all cases indicate maturity, in my own opinion, young adults at age 18 should be able to take responsibility of Avery action taken forthwith.
The age of puberty is the age legally recognized for puberty, where a person can take responsibility before the law without reference to his or her family and the rights of an adult, such as the right to marry, give birth, vote in the elections, hold a driver's license, drink alcohol, smoke, and gamble. Most countries of the world are 18 years old, while others are 15, 16, 17, and other countries of 19, 20 and 21 years.
18 years is enough to learn the basic things we need to start a life of our own. Every other things are better learnt when we are at face to face with challenges, so 18 years is enough.
Yes. Marriageable age in most countries is 18. If so, it should be considered "adult age." (And, remember.... marriage is not a word, it's a sentence!)
