The Age of Exploration

The Age of ExplorationAs we approach the age of exploration, it is important to look at how students apply their understanding of the exploration process, which is driven by the discovery of new and different information. Many use their understanding of the exploration process to solve problems and deliver great research papers, presentations. Others use the same knowledge to help them get scholarships and grants for further education, and others to guide them through learning related activities.As one gets older, it is common for a student to grow used to the age of exploration. In some cases, this age may be mistaken for the age of inexperience or incipient adulthood. Some people may look upon the age of exploration as an age when students learn to 'think outside the box'. There are however more difficult truths about the age of exploration than the truth about being 'insanely' old. Here are the many truths about the age of exploration that will make it clear that the age of explor ation is neither an age of chaos, nor an age of maturity.The age of exploration, as defined above, does not exist in the time of actual exploration. When we refer to the age of exploration we are actually referring to the age of youth and innocence. From the age of youth, the exploration process continues until the age of young adulthood, when the process moves on to adolescence and the age of maturity.The age of exploration does not require any drastic changes in the age of a student, though he or she may start thinking like an adult, or turn into a true 'adult'. What changes is the rate of change? As the age of the student changes, so too must the age of the exploration. To bring home the age of exploration to the age of youth, it is important to understand the age of youth as the age of childhood. From the age of childhood, there is a period of tremendous change, which includes: The age of innocence is followed by the age of adolescence, which is the time when students begin to l earn what it means to grow up. The reason why this age of discovery is so important is because it offers the opportunity for students to learn about the ideas that shape a society. Most societies make the decisions that shape society after a period of transition. The growth of knowledge during the growth of this transition is important to the role of information in society.The age of discovery can be understood by students to be the age of adolescence, which marks the beginning of the age of maturity. The age of adolescence is the time when students can move beyond the questions and answers of childhood. In the age of adulthood, the many roles of information may provide students with the tools to make their own decisions about the questions that impact the direction of their lives.The age of exploration, as defined above, is the age of youth and innocence. The age of adolescence is the time when students are able to think and act for themselves. The age of adulthood is the time when students learn to take responsibility for their actions, and when they can fully live up to the expectations that society places on them.
