Description:

This 3-in-1 volume investigates how identity, social interaction, and constructed realities influence the development of youth within a constantly evolving world. The first section, Youth and Society, examines the social roles, challenges, and transitions that young people face as they grow into adulthood. It explores how education, culture, media, and institutions affect youth identity, opportunity, and social mobility. The second section, The Social Animal, delves into human social behavior with a special focus on youth. Drawing from psychology and sociology, it analyzes group behavior, conformity, interpersonal connection, and the deep need for belonging during formative years. The third section, The Social Construction of Reality, explores how our perceptions of the world—including concepts like adolescence, success, and rebellion—are not just discovered, but socially constructed. This section helps readers understand how youth experiences are shaped by societal narratives and expectations. Together, these three volumes offer an interdisciplinary lens on the transformation of youth and the broader changes shaping society. Duration - 5h 39m. Author - Fred Grandsen. Narrator - Judith Crame. Published Date - Wednesday, 15 January 2025. Copyright - © 2025 Fred Grandsen ©.
