In primi

15、tive societies adolescence is frequently a relatively short period of time, while in industrial societies with patterns of prolonged education coupled with laws against child labor, the period of adolescence is much longer and may include most of the second decade of ones life. Furthermore, the leng

16、th of the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status may change in a given society as social and economic conditions change. Examples of this type of change are the disappearance of the frontier in the latter part of the nineteenth century in the United States, and more universally, th

17、e industrialization of an agricultural society.In modem society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance and there no longer is agreement as to what constitutes initiation ceremonies. Social ones have been replaced by a sequence of steps that lead to i

18、ncreased recognition and social status. For example, grade school graduation, high school graduation and college graduation constitute such a sequence, and while each step implies certain behavioral changes and social recognition, the significance of each depends on the socio-economic status and the

19、 educational ambition of the individual. Ceremonies for adolescence have also been replaced by legal definitions of status roles, right, privileges and responsibilities, it is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the protective and restrictive aspects of childhood

20、 and minor status are removed and adult privileges and responsibilities are granted. The twelve-year-old is no longer considered a child and has to pay full fare for train, airplane, theater and movie tickets. Basically, the individual at this age loses childhood privileges without gaining significa

21、nt adult rights. At the age of sixteen the adolescent is granted certain adult rights which increase his social status by providing him with more freedom and choices. He now can obtain a driver s license; he can leave public schools; and he can work without the restrictions of child labor laws. At t

22、he age of eighteen the law provides adult responsibilities as well as rights: the young man can now be a soldier, but he also can marry without parental permission. At the age of twenty-one the individual obtains his full legal rights as an adult. He now can write, he can buy liquor, he can enter in

23、to financial contracts, and he is entitled to run for public office. No additional basic rights are acquired as a function of age alter majority status has been attained. None of these legal provisions determine at what point adulthood has been reached but they do point to the prolonged period of ad

25、ce ceremonies?（分数：1.00）A.Steps leading to recognition.B.Increased social-economic status.C.Adult privileges and responsibilities.D.Behavioral changes.(3).One can fully enjoy his adulthood privileges when he is no less than_ years old.（分数：1.00）A.12B.16C.18D.21(4).Which of the following statements is

26、TRUE about a 22-year-old young man?（分数：1.00）A.He can get more basic rights than those of 21.B.He will get more and more rights as he grows older and older.C.He has no more basic rights than when he was 21.D.He will enjoy more rights granted by society.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that_.（分

27、数：1.00）A.one begins to be considered as an adult since 12B.one has to pay full fare before he is free from the restrictions of child labor lawsC.one begins to lose childhood privileges when he can obtain a drivers licenseD.one cant marry without parental permission until he can enter into financial

The specifically feminist part of Saint-Simonianism

33、 has, however, been less studied than the groups contribution to early socialism. This is regrettable on two counts.

This complementarity reflects the fact that, while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that t

36、here were innate differences between men and women, they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role for both sexes in their Utopia.Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on gender distinction. This minority believed that individuals of both

37、sexes were born similar in capacity and character, and they ascribed male-female differences to socialization and education.
