Mega Bidoof Debate #1:
When I do something, I like to find the enjoyment, or have fun while doing, usually while making a jokes in the process. I do this both in real life, and here on the internet. In both of those places, I am deemed immature for doing so. But what does this mean from a psychological standpoint, and from society's view.
The dictionary defines maturity as "the state of being mature", which means acting like an adult. But what does it mean to act like an adult. Surely there cannot be one type of personality for every single adult!
Well there is in society's eyes. This meaning is that "maturity" would mean doing all your work, and putting responsibilities and other important things before anything else. This is the basic definition from the world's stand-point. So really, being mature means having no fun or sense of humor, and being serious 95% of the time.
But this is not what I think maturity means. I believe that if one acts like an adult, they would need to place themselves in place of the adult's usual life. They have to go out into the real world every single day, and do what is required of them in their job. To be successful in the real world, while also being happy, would require one to know how to evenly balance out the work and play. This is what maturity really means. To be mature, you must have a grasp on the real world, and must know when and how to even out responsibilities, and just having fun.
Sorry if the wording is a bit shaky, this is my first debate.
