I chose the New York Times Magazine article "What Is It About 20-Somethings?" by Robin Marantz Heing from August 18, 2010. This article was cited by Leslie Bell for her essay "Hard to Get: Twenty-Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom." Heing's article is about the emergence of one's twenties as a distinct stage in life. Heing seems to favor the idea that some psychologists are beginning to take that twenty-somethings in today's society are going through an important transition phase in their lives that wasn't apparent in older generations due to how school and other systems were organized. Heing argues her point by posing questions concerning the treatment of twenty-somethings then giving information towards the topic, while still leaving it open enough for the reader to develop their own opinion to the topic/answer to the question. Heing seems critical of the current double-standards associated with the treatment of the age group, but still slightly hopeful that the system will change to better accommodate those in this transitory period.
