Describe the interaction between education and emerging adulthood

What will be an ideal response?

As the economies of industrialized nations have become more technical and information-based, the amount of education required to enter complex, well-paid careers has increased. In response, young people of the twenty-first century are pursuing higher education in record numbers.
The cognitive gains of the late teens and early twenties are supported by further brain development, especially the prefrontal cortex and its connections with other brain regions. These changes are supported by experiences, including attaining higher education.
College students make impressive strides in cognition. This is not surprising, since college serves as a "developmental testing ground," a time for devoting full attention to exploring alternative values, roles, and behaviors. To facilitate exploration, college exposes students to encounters with new ideas and beliefs, new freedoms and opportunities, and new academic and social demands. Through this process they move toward relativistic thinking in which they view knowledge as embedded in a framework of thought. Aware of a diversity of opinions on many topics, they give up the possibility of absolute truth in favor of multiple truths, each relative to its context.
