He also points to liquid, paternalistic family pedagogy as the ultimate reason for youths' inability to take on responsibility when they reach adulthood. Noting its discredit, Del Pozo suggests that we reconsider the traditional concept of adulthood as an ultimate life goal and instead begin to consider it an unfinished process of personal construction, a process grounded upon freedom as the core, axiomatic principle around which human beings in their maturation can take on their responsibilities, develop their abilities, fulfil their desires and achieve full realisation along the way.
