Your book asks: If abstract thinking is required for the formation of ideas about politics, morality, and religion, how can you explain why such ideas exist even in cultures in which math and science education is rare?
With regard to cultivating critical thinking in adolescents, why do you think American high schools are doing so poorly? Do you think your high school encouraged critical thinking? Why or why not?
Do you agree with Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences? If so, what does this imply for the current standardized testing system we use in the U.S.? Do tests like the NJ-ASK, PARCC, or SAT actually measure intelligence? Should they be the basis of school admissions and/ or school funding? Why or why not?
Given what we know about adolescent brain development, and that adolescent brains respond in ways that are so substantially different from the brains of adults, what should this imply for our justice system? Should adolescents be held responsible in the same ways as older adults for violence, drug use, etc.?

Explanation / Answer
Our research shows that the closer bonds between young adults and their parents should be celebrated, and do not necessarily compromise the independence of the next generation.
Grown children benefit greatly from parental help. Young adults who received financial, practical and emotional support from their parents reported clearer life goals and more satisfaction than young adults who received less parental support. This support ranged from room and board to making a car available, to parents’ listening to their son or daughter talk about the day.
