introduction to sociology week 2 discussion 2

 We all have different roles throughout our lives.  Many times we experience a role exit, meaning we leave a social status to join another.  Some examples include becoming a parent, becoming independent from parents, exiting a relationship, from being a drug addict to becoming clean, from being poor to having economic stability, from being a civilian to joining the military, changing jobs, etc.  Recall from your own life the experience of role exit, what are some of the benefits of becoming an “ex”? What are some of the challenges?  (Don't forget to tie in aspects of what you learned from the readings and cite your source.)
