Definition: The word "Adulthoods" comes from the Greek language and refers to a state or condition in which one has not been properly governed, controlled, or managed by another person or entity, often with negative consequences for that person's life. This term is closely associated with slavery and the practice of being enslaved or owned by someone else. In some instances, it may also refer to having no authority over oneself or a situation outside one's control (like poverty). The term "Adulthoods" can be used figuratively, suggesting not following proper guidance or leadership in a situation. It is also closely associated with the idea that one cannot control what they are given by another person or entity. Understanding Adulthoods involves recognizing its relationship to slavery and the need for accountability within an institution or community. This understanding might lead individuals to seek guidance or support from those who can guide them, such as church leaders, professionals, or government officials.
