In some ways people are as mature or as immature as society and contemporary culture needs them to be
Her an historical example people in the middle ages the average life expectancy was 35 years old I was in that time they would be married in their retains and have children
They sustained themselves by controlling and renting their own lands
King Henry V of England was leading troops into battle between the age of 14 and 16 years old
I think that their brains would have been much more mature then contemporary teenagers and young adults
What I'm trying to say in a nutshell is that we are in some ways forged by our environments
