It serves to bridge the divide between generations and to encourage more adequate recognition of what is at stake in the response of all who interact with emerging young adult lives. Our economic and political life has become more brittle, volatile, and global, which both enlarges and constrains young adult aspirations. Today's emerging adults are both more connected and more distracted. And religion and faith have become both problematized and polarized. Parks defines faith as meaning-making in its most comprehensive dimensions, whether expressed in secular or religious terms. Over time, our meaning-making orients our sense of purpose, moral stance, and competence. The book describes the potential vulnerability of emerging adults and shows how mentors and mentoring environments can provide access to big-enough questions and inspire dreams worthy of engaging with our challenging and complex world. Parks addresses important issues of the day, including violence in our culture, social media and networking, economic challenges, changing racial identity, cultural shifts, and other forces shaping the narrative of emerging adulthood today." -- $c Publisher website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-327) and indexes. 505 00 $t Coda: mentoring communities -- Professional education and the professions -- The workplace -- Travel -- Families -- Religious faith communities -- Media -- Social movements. $t The deep motion of life: composing meaning, purpose, and faith -- $t Becoming at home in the universe: a developmental process -- $t It matters how we think -- $t It all depends ... -- $t ...
