ABSTRACT
The period of life called young adulthood is coterminal with the ending of adolescence and the age group under consideration ranges from 18 years to the early thirties. Young adulthood is the most exciting of all phases of development, particularly so, when it is contrasted with the hormonal/ physiological and psychological changes that dominate the beginning of the adolescent and pubertal period. The psychological processes occur in the context of a complex physiological and bidirectional sociological milieu that Engel originally termed the biopsychosocial model of human behavioral interactions. The philosophy of power was conceived by Nietzsche and Hobbes as a strong will and restless desire to dominate and control others that reminds one of Freud’s aggressive drive and later his death instinct. Power is knowledge, money, rhetoric, athleticism, control of the media, and a system of higher values and morals. Power struggles emerge in marriages, in corporate hierarchies, and in academia as well as in political movements and government.
