Jean Piaget believed that around age 11, young people enter the formal operational stage, in which they develop the capacity for advanced cognitive thinking. In this discussion thread, we will explore Piaget’s theory.
Provide a real-life example of an adolescent who exhibits formal operational thinking and:
·        Describe the major characteristics of the formal operational stage illustrated in your example
·        Explain the opposing argument that challenges Piaget’s notion of a new, discrete stage of cognitive development at adolescence
·        Discuss whether all individuals reach the formal operational stage and the factors affecting whether a person will reach this level of cognitive development
