Traditionally, teenagers were screwed on by the time that were about 18 years of age, which means that they are mature enough to vote and make their own choices. But now days, there are many people that are in their 20 and 30 somethings that are not screwed on. I don't know exactly what causes unscrewed teenagers, but I think it is something to do with the increased diversity and the expansion of the life span, along with current social, moral, and economic conditions. Even back then, they may be thought to be screwed on, but really they are not because they haven't lived enough to figure out true values and choices. I am going to see if I am screwed on on in certain dimensions and I'll figure out my identity status.
Occupational choice: Because of the recession, it took a while for me to determine my career choice for life, and in this day of age, nobody is set for life in a career. But we do have a head start anyway to make some money and to get started in life. For a while, I was in a state of idenity foreclosure for my college major. I was chosen to be in the IT major, even though deep down I wasn't satisfied with this type of work. I know I was good at computers, but I don't think I wanted a career in computers, but I did have enough background knowledge in computers to get through many jobs. I decided to change my major to explore more options for career, which will get me into an idenity moratorium status. I wasn't in diffusion yet, but I was getting close to diffusion. But now, I clamped down and I am planning on taking a career in Management or Organizational Behavior to find a career that will give me a good start with a good pay, which means I am pretty screwed on. I do have an interest in psychology and I am interested in business/marketing, and I might be good at that stuff, so this sounds like I am finally screwed on. It took a while, but I got my shit together for now.
Religious values: I am a Christian, but I am not sure what denomination I belong in. I am in the foreclosure state for my religious beliefs even though I may not be completely satisfied with it. But I have this belief that it is the same God and the same Jesus, so it doesn't really matter where you go to church, as long as your believe in Jesus Christ and accept Christ as your savior. I also believe that I don't have to go to church to believe in Christ, since the church is here everywhere; it is the way you treat other people. I think I am pretty screwed in with religion, even though I am confirmed Lutheran and a baptized Catholic, I believe you are going to end up in the same place anyway, so it doesn't matter what type of church you belong to. I am open minded about the beliefs of other denominations, but I stick to the gospel of Christ for the most part.
Political beliefs: I may not be the most completely screwed on with political beliefs since I haven't been in the world, but for now I am leaning towards the conservative end of the spectrum, most likely of family. It looks like my political beliefs are in a foreclosure and I tend to have a closed mind about things politically to keep myself sane. I haven't really experienced many things in life such as getting screwed by the government to get true political beliefs.
Moral beliefs: I think I have strong moral values on things. I value family friendship and family the most. I have this belief that people do need friends to be happy, but they need to be close to their family as well. But I don't think I get into the extended family thing as much as my extended family, I am more my own family and possibly the family the my wives live in. I believe in traditional gender roles in women and men; women look very good in dresses and girly stuff, and guys gotta be guys, even though I was open minded on gender deviance in men for a while, but I think guys gotta be guys. Don't have to be a he man, but need to be a guy. The traditional family structure I believe in and it looks like divorce and that stuff is a major problem in society. I like to have a family with children, because more children, the better. I am also getting sick and tired of the alternative subcultures that are going on with people, and I rather see people that are clean cut and traditional, and friendly. It makes life easier if people just dress nice, act nice, and not make a fool out of themselves. Sick of this other stuff.
Sexual values/relationship values:
Sexual values it looks like I am pretty open minded about it, because I haven't have a true experience with sex and relationships. It looks like I want to be in relationships, but it looks like I may not have the guts to actually break the ice. I think it is more my values don't fit with the girls are walking around - I think girls and people in generally are too lose in their values, and they need to clean up their acts. Of course, the skankiness is pretty good to look at, but I think I am looking at the girls deep down who they are. They might not be true to themselves and they may be putting on an act. The same thing may be for me. I think I might be less intimidated by girls if they are more friendly and approachable, and not putting on acts, but I think for a while I need to work on being more friendly and approachable too. I do jack off to porn lol but I think I am doing that because of the desperate need for sexual arousal or an relationship. Deep down I think porn is ishy, but you know, I think I am looking for some stimulation. I may not be the clearest on the sexual values as the other dimensions but I got the point.
