Would you agree with a proposal requiring that everyone be required to pass a national comprehensive maturity test before being granted adult status? Your answer should address the following questions:
1. What constitutes maturity?
2. Can you measure maturity with a paper and pencil test?
3. Who will create the test, and will it be subject to the same bias that are associated with IQ tests?
4. What will happen to those who fail the test?
5. What is the appropriate punishment to those individuals caught acting illegally as adults, or for chronological adults who fail to mature in their thinking and behaviors.
