How to demonstrate one is grown up, different people hold different opinions. Whether the traditional methods such as graduation ceremonies and the 18th birthday and so on or the modern methods for example: evaluating whether the actions he/she takes reflect the mature characteristics like independence, critical thinking, problem solving etc, have their advantages and disadvantages.
It is clear that which to prefer depends on one’s own experience, life style and emotional concern. I prefer the modern ones most in my point of view. Then I prefer it, there are, three advantages of it as follows:
This can trace back to my childhood, once with curiosity, I have been trying new things that other children have not experienced, little by little, I gain more than I had expected. As I deem, by doing so, the sense of independence, critical thinking and problem solving is developed and it is these that distinguishes me from my parents for the first time, thus begins my way to mature.
Yet for another reason is that mature is attained only when one establishes his/her self-confidence, which can only be gained through the process of solving problem and doing critical thinking independently. Let us see an example from the life of the famous inventor, Edison, before the age of 15, Edison has not done anything meaningful, however, once he began experiment himself, everything changed, the silent boy became talkative and raised good ideas frequently, people began to take a look at him, at the age of 18, he managed to apply for his first patent, a definite icon of mature. If not making the critical thinking and problem solving independently, Edison can not gain the confidence that is vital for an inventor like him.
Then why I do not like others? For example, why do not I think the graduation ceremony is a sign of mature? Because ever since junior high, teachers tell us from time to time that ability is not gained unless one have executed it. A single ceremony does not mean that one has done something, nor does it reflect one’s characteristics, so of course it is not enough.
There are still many other reasons that can account for my fondness for the way to distinguish an adult from a child, but the obvious ones have been present as above: only through the characteristics of independence, critical thinking, problem solving reflected from doing things can a child be regarded as mature.

跑题鸟.   SORRY,

You are required to answer the question - What events (experiences or ceremonies) make a person an adult?

一看你开头的,"evaluating whether the actions he/she takes reflect the mature characteristics like independence, critical thinking, problem solving etc, have their advantages and disadvantages" 就觉得跑远了

奇怪, 这摸多跑题的?  :confused:
