QUÉ SIGNIFICA ADULT EN INGLÉS

Adulto

Adult

Biológicamente, un adulto es un ser humano u otro organismo que ha alcanzado la madurez sexual. En el contexto humano, el término adulto también tiene significados asociados con conceptos sociales y jurídicos. En contraste con un "menor", un adulto legal es una persona que ha alcanzado la mayoría de edad y por lo tanto se considera como independiente, autosuficiente y responsable. La edad adulta humana abarca el desarrollo psicológico de adultos. Las definiciones de la edad adulta son a menudo inconsistentes y contradictorias; Una persona puede ser biológicamente un adulto, y tener la conducta de un adulto, pero todavía ser tratado como un niño si son menores de edad legal de la mayoría. Por el contrario, uno puede ser legalmente un adulto, pero no posee ninguna de la madurez y responsabilidad que pueda definir el carácter adulto. Un acontecimiento relacionado con la llegada de la edad adulta llega a la mayoría de edad, que abarca pasar una serie de pruebas para demostrar que una persona está preparada para la edad adulta, o llegar a una edad determinada, a veces en conjunción con la demostración de preparación. La mayoría de las sociedades modernas determinan la edad adulta legal basada en alcanzar una edad legalmente especificada sin requerir una demostración de madurez física o preparación para la edad adulta.

Biologically, an adult is a human being or other organism that has reached sexual maturity. In human context, the term adult additionally has meanings associated with social and legal concepts. In contrast to a "minor", a legal adult is a person who has attained the age of majority and is therefore regarded as independent, self-sufficient, and responsible. Human adulthood encompasses psychological adult development. Definitions of adulthood are often inconsistent and contradictory; a person may be biologically an adult, and have adult behavior but still be treated as a child if they are under the legal age of majority. Conversely, one may legally be an adult but possess none of the maturity and responsibility that may define adult character. An event relating to the oncoming of adulthood is coming of age, which encompasses passing a series of tests to demonstrate that a person is prepared for adulthood, or reaching a specified age, sometimes in conjunction with demonstrating preparation. Most modern societies determine legal adulthood based on reaching a legally specified age without requiring a demonstration of physical maturity or preparation for adulthood.
