...2015 “Do the Write Thing” Challenge Teen violence is a huge problem in the United States. Many people, including teachers, students, and parents try to stop it, but sometimes it’s not enough. Teen violence has grown throughout the years. It has many causes and has affected many people’s lives. Everyone is affected whether you are the person being wronged or not. So, how has youth violence affected me, what are some of the causes of youth violence and what can I do to stop it? Assuredly, violence has affected my life in a negative way, but not directly. When I hear a student being called names, see them being harassed, or watch a news report detailing physical or mental abuse of a youth, it fills me with anger, sadness and sometimes fear. It’s horrible that this sort of thing happens and ignoring it only makes matters worse. Our schools do their part with helping students with the prevention of bullying and by having guidance counselors on hand to address any issues that arise. At my middle school there’s a rule that requires all students to sit at the lunch table of their designated third period class. One of the reasons for this rule is to prevent a bully from a different class from sitting at a table and harassing another student during lunch. Unfortunately, this rule negatively affects me and many of the other students. If your lunch period were the only opportunity for you to sit with a friend that wasn’t in your third period class, you would be unable to do so without...

...The Effects of Domestic Violence on Children Trudy Root Kaplan University CM107-11 Children are negatively impacted by the surrounding of domestic violence in multiple ways, in which need to be identified. The audience that needs to be aware of domestic abuse’s effects on children is adults that care for children; such as pediatricians, teachers, counselors, and parents. The issue that needs to be addressed is the negative effects on children involved in a domestic violence situation. Many people can see how abuse can affect a child, however many of those people do nothing about it. What causes children to negatively be affected by the surroundings of domestic abuse? According to Long Term Effects of Domestic Violence, “the children are also affected in both overt and subtle ways”. (Stewart, 2012). Sometimes children feel guilt when they are unable to protect the one being abused. What also may lead to hurt is when children witness yelling, pushing, or hitting. This type of hurt can lead to confusion, stress, fear, shame, or blaming themself for the problem. These causes then affect children in ways which have been stated by Stewart. Families where a mother is abused are at a higher risk of child abuse by 6 to 15 times. When these children witness abuse, they are more likely to develop emotional problems. Angela Browne had stated that, “boys who witness their fathers’ abuse of their mothers are more likely to inflict severe violence as adults. Data suggest...

...What made this a “good” story? The beginning of the film when the narrator was describing the background of Iran, the people, the Shah and the current leader. This was very informative because it educated me on certain events and how the people of Iran felt about the Shah. What the Shah put everyone who was a citizen of Iran through and how America gave him asylum but he was dying of cancer so they really didn’t feel the need to give him back. The people of Iran wanted him to come back so he could pay for the pain and anguish he put the people of Iran through. He damaged many innocent lives. I never knew so much problems were going on in Iran, and I never thought the leader of Iran could turn his back on his own people and when he deserves to be punished for his action, there is nothing they can do. I learned so much about the emotions and feelings that the people of Iran went through, and I feel very thankful that I live in a country where we have our own power, control and freedom and there is no one who can decide what we do and want in life. The scenes where after the Americans were taken into hostage, how the president and the CIA had to come up with a plan to try to get them back home safely. This kept my attention because it was somewhat of an interesting way they decided to go undercover in Iran without being noticed. I would have never thought that the CIA would pretend to be film students shooting a movie in order to get the hostages back. When I think...

...Youth violence has been nationwide for many of centuries. Children have a way of life by seeing what they parents and other family members do. If a child do not have any parents they will go into the world learning things on there on and learn from other children that will befriend them. Youth need a source of guidance to help them stay on the right path and if not it will go left and the child would end up in a world of trouble. When a child end up in the system it is very hard for them to get out of the system. When children are in school they can attend to be bullied or out of place because they fit with in the crowd.

...interesting discussion because half of the people that attended were my age and the other half was about two generations older, so there was a very diverse pool of perspectives and opinions. But because there was a large generation gap it was a bit more difficult for me to share my views, so I mainly listened and observed other people’s thoughts. The discussion itself was very helpful because of the different views people had about the memoir. One of the themes of A Long Way Gone that we discussed was the importance of hope. We mainly talked about how this theme was not constant throughout the memoir and that it changed with time. For example one person brought up how at first Ishmael’s only motivator was the hope of his parents being alive, then when he realized that he would never be reunited with them he had lost his hope. It was only when he remembered what his father had said about a person only lives if they have something to live for which gave him his hope back. As far as themes that’s really the only one that we discussed, but we did discuss a lot of other interesting aspects of the memoir. We discussed the validity of Ishmael’s timeframes given within the memoir and talked about the criticism that A Long Way Gone has received. Most people in the group thought that even if the times were off it is insignificant with regards to what he’s been through as a child soldier and the main message that he’s trying to project through this memoir....

...explore effects of violent video games, the addictive behavior it may cause, and how these behaviors have affected the youth of today. Then there are those who find video games to be a form of great entertainment. One professor states, ''Art has always been dangerous. It's not supposed to just reinforce happy ideals. It's supposed to be challenging.'' (Bogost, 2007, ¶ 14). History The history of video games in this country goes beyond what we as society could have imagined. I remember as child in 1988, begging my sister to let me play Pac-Man on her Atari Game System. The feeling of playing this game with colors and artistic structure that I had never encountered. Many years later I was introduced to a more futuristic video game system Nintendo. This gaming system offered educational and interactive cartridges that offered you a sense of control. But this is what video games have offered us since its patent in 1947. From a social aspect the controversy that surrounds games was developed due to censorship, violence, sexual refrains, profanity and drug distribution. Let’s explore the positives and the negatives of video games. Affirmative In 2003, video teaching systems were developed and referred to as serious games. These games were used by teachers to educate and give instruction to what is called the “Net Generation” (Annetta, 2006, ¶ 3). As we know this new age of Internet has opened a door for educators to reach students on their scale. One example is the...

The secondary data consisted of population based surveys, public and private social service agencies. • A statement as to why the topic is important. This topic is important to me for many different reasons. Growing up I was exposed to family violence. As I got older I seen the effect that it had on me and how I deal with people. Being exposed to family violence is hard to deal with as people get older. It took me a while to deal with being exposed to family violence. At one point in time I thought it was ok until I got older and realized that family violence is a serious matter. • A review of literature relevant to the research topic. The issue of whether children are affected by being exposed to family violence is a problem that has been widely researched. (Fantuzzo and Mohr, 1999; Korbin, 2003; Gordis and Margolin, 2004; Matthews, 1999) In order to look at this problem a, definition of violence needs to be established.

...Domestic Violence and The Relationship with Human Rights in Surabaya Evangeline Josephine Muljono - 34412016 Abstract This paper shows about domestic violence that happens in Surabaya and the relationship with human rights of Surabaya citizens. This paper shows that domestic violence violates Pancasila and its principles because it violates human rights of people in Surabaya. And as part of Indonesia, we must take action about it. There will also be some solutions that are offered to decrease the number of domestic violence in Surabaya. Background Humans are social beings. Every human needs other people to carry out his/her life. This means that every human must gather and work together to build a better life and the key point of working together is having the same goal. Building a team, communities, and organizations are some of the way to achieve the same goal that people have. But besides that, the simplest way to achieve a goal that people have in common is building a family. Family is very important because it is the basic need of human being. Family is a place to build a character of a person. Family is a place to learn how to respect and protect each other. And family will only work out only when the members work together and have a positive relationship to each other. Nowadays, in Surabaya, the meaning of building a good family has been fading. Every year, the number of divorce in Surabaya is getting bigger and bigger. And one of the causes of that is violence...

...Lance Erickson Dr. Grey Peace Action and Nonviolence 12/13/13 Cumulative Essay Throughout the history of the world, we have come to realize that violence is often ubiquitous. Whether it be of domestic concern or international, most nations have, at least at one point in time, had to deal with these conflicts to prevent further damage. How a nation decides to address these sources of violence determines whether or not the conflict will be settled and put to an end, or merely pushed further, in most cases as a means of retaliation. However, in many instances we see these sources of violence to be pushed further, even though it may be unintended, which thus keeps the cycle of violence in our world in constant flow. In order to prevent this perpetuation and continuation of violence from happening, it is important for nations to implement peace action in their response to conflicts. Even though there have been many instances of peace action and nonviolent resistance that have impacted the world we live in, there have been more cases of violent action which outweigh acts of peace and may hold a greater impact on our world. This is why I believe it is safe to say that there is a constant need, or struggle, for peace action and non-violence to be present within all our nations. When looking at all the nations in our world, we see that certain governing and military forces are more influential than others, usually through wealth. Thus, the actions of these forces are...
