...outlining the residential care system. It will then go on by discussing the needs of the child within residential care (Share and McElwee, 2005). The analysis continues by identifying and discussing the aspects of working in the residential care system. Finally, it will look at the importance of the social care practitioner within the residential care system and how the practitioner addresses the needs of the children within the care system. The discussion will then be concluded. The needs of young people in Residential Care Throughout society, it is a widely known certainty that young kids pass through the Residential Care system for many troublesome causes. Everyone in society is different to one another, different children have different needs which result from the poor care experience undergone by each child. The setting of Residential Care should, therefore, as much as possible, offer a home atmosphere to these children, that is, a welcoming and warm environment. Article 42.5 distinctly commits the Irish state to allocate care to a child under the age of 18, for whatever the cause, cannot be protected by their guardian/ parents at this time. “The main purpose of residential care is to provide and safe environment for children and young people who cannot live at home at that time” (Lalor and Share, 2009). Children young and old pass through the care system...

...separation rates have increased markedly during the previous century. It is reported that more than 1 million children each year experience their parents’ separation. Divorce or separation is a critical event happening to about 54% of young families; however nobody really is prepared for the difficulties that follow. Parental separation has been reported in the literature as being associated with a wide range of adverse effects on children’s wellbeing, both as a short-term consequence of the transition and in the form of more enduring effects that persist into adulthood. Both parental marital status and the parent-adolescent relationship have been found to be related to adolescent well-being (Forehand, Middleton, & Long, 1987; Buchanan, Maccoby, & Dombusch 1991). There is a wide diversity of outcomes among both groups of children from divorced and intact families, and the adjustment of children following divorce depends on a wide range of other factors. Pryor and Rodgers (2001) show that the risk of poor social adjustment is twice as great for children whose parents are separated or divorced (Amato, 2000; Simons, Lin, Gordon, Conger, and Lorenz, 1999; Emery, 1999; Kelly, 2000; Hetherington and Kelly, 2002). Among other things, children from divorced families 2 PAGE UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS showed increased problems in social and close relationships (Hetherington 1997), were two to three times more likely to associate with antisocial peers (Amato and...

...paper African American Body issues. There are a lot of pictures showing mothers, their sons, and relationship structures in families. I obtained this image by searching for ‘juvenile delinquent families’ on GOOGLE. The picture itself was a still from EBONY magazine, published in 2005, showing the inevitable consequence of the youth having children, and the alarming rate at which this happens in the US. Since EBONY magazine focuses on the current events of African American celebrities and the culture as a whole, it would make sense that the audience is predominantly African American, but also frequent readers of the magazine. The picture actually has 2 parts to the overall image. The first part is set in the Bronx, and has three members of an African American family (a father, son and mother), standing aloof from each other. The other image tied to this picture shows the boy a few years older, but behind bars. The caption highlights single mom homes as a leading cause for juvenile delinquents. This image negatively predicts that broken African-American families lead to criminal children. What initially captured my attention was the facial expression of the father in the image. His head is turned to the side and he has a look of disgust as if to say: “I want nothing more to do with my wife or my son”. His facial expression also highlights a stern young adult, which gives the picture more of a “thuggish outlook”. His nostrils are definitely flared and his lips...

...society. The focus has been on sociological perspective. According to Lerner (2002), sociology involves an analysis of social life of human being, societies and groups. It incorporates analysis of human interaction as they mature, both mentally and physically, in the current society. Sociology emerged as a separate discipline in the mid-1800s in Western Europe. The current research has analyzed the social perspective and its implication in the health care sector. In social perspective, it implies the symbols that are imminent in the society, and how the symbols used can interact with other human beings in the society. The three sociological perspectives that are relevant in the society are functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and conflict theory. The current society is extremely diverse with different cultures, especially with people living in the same area. In culture, I imply that the cumulative experience, knowledge, values that are acquired by a given group, which aims at shaping their ways of norm. As I grew up, I have noticed that languages, behaviors and even the materials people own based on their religion that has been passed down for future generations. Parents’ roles are crucial in the development and growth of a child not only because of their genetic influence on their children, but also due to love and care in which they subject to their children. The physical and emotional condition of a child is dependent on the extensive family interaction (Knott and...

...To Teach Effective Writing, Model Effective Writing ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: JUNE 10, 2014 | UPDATED: JULY 14, 2015 * ------------------------------------------------- 8.1KSHARES * ------------------------------------------------- * ------------------------------------------------- * ------------------------------------------------- * ------------------------------------------------- I strive to teach my high school students the value of criticism, especially when it comes to improving their writing. To do so, I model how criticism continues to help me become a better writer. Earlier this year, for example, I shared a draft of one of my education feature articles, which included detailed feedback from an editor at a prominent media company. I asked my classes for advice on how to address several edits, dealing with sources, transitions, terminology, and structure. A few days later, I directed my budding writers to the much-improved final draft. This easy but worthwhile activity helped more of my students feel comfortable receiving criticism, and not view it as an affront. As a result, they improved their writing by taking the time and care to consider and respond to reader insight. I want my students to feel secure in the knowledge that nobody is beyond criticism (even their teacher), and that the bigger challenge is developing the good sense to acknowledge and successfully respond to feedback. Along those lines, I also offer the suggestions below...

...to the people. People of all age can surf the Internet regardless of their gender, age, or races. Hence, the Internet can be dangerous towards the unawared children and adults. The Internet can be dangerous because people can encounter sexual online predators and lose social interaction skills. Besides these, cyber-bullying occurs and one’s reputation may be compromised. In addition, there are cases of cyber-stalking and the Internet might lead to revolution which increases the social coordination of the public. First and foremost, the Internet has been dangerous because people may encounter sexual online predators. An online predator is one who attempts to sexually exploit a person through the use of online services and the Internet. Anyone can be an online predator. Most young teens are being targeted by the online predators. According to Richard M. Goo’s “Stranger Danger and The Online Social Network” (2008), the number of online sexual predators has been increased due to the increasing usage of the social networks. The trust and intimacy can be developed quickly online due to the anonymous of the Internet. Predators have been taking this anonymity to build online relationship with the inexperienced young people. Predators will send pornographic pictures through e-mail or Instant Messages once they have gained the young people’s trust. According to Sonia...

...Research over the past few decades has highlighted the importance of social and emotional competence in preschool children on later academic, social, and psychological outcomes. Children who are socially and emotionally competent have increased socialization opportunities with peers, develop more friends, have better relationships with their parents and teachers, and enjoy more academic and social successes. Children who lack social and emotional competence are at risk for reduced socialization opportunities, rejection, withdrawal, behavioral disturbance, and achievement problems. Intervention programs that target social emotional development in preschool are ideally situated to bolster these skills before the problems exacerbate. Research...
