Similarities and Differences in Adolescent Development

Consider the following:

Is the experience of being an adolescent the same for males and females? Is it the same across different historical times or eras? What about across different cultures or subpopulations within a culture? This assignment involves exploring similarities and differences in one of these areas. Using the University Library, search for articles that address gender, historical, cultural, or sub-cultural differences in adolescence.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper summarizing your findings. Your paper should include a brief introduction to the topic, a review of research findings, and a conclusion.

Include at least four references from professional peer-reviewed journals.
