...Marginalized young people Outline Text 1 is about a program launched by the ministry of defense education department in 2001, to get troublemakers out of trouble and give them an alternative to the normal elementary school. “The idea is simple: students drop two GCSE subjects and spend one day a week learning survival skills, rock-climbing, canoeing and camping, and are taught first aid, cooking and carpentry”. Text 2 also deals with the idea of keeping wayward kids out of trouble, but not as in text one with military methods, here the solution is sport, or specifically boxing. Text 2 mentions that troublemakers often are troublemakers because they are bored and have too much energy. Boxing could be the solution and are according to text two already the solution to some. In the boxing gym, the wayward kids have a place to “Burn of excess energy”, simultaneously the fights they used to get into in the streets, are now in a gym, controlled and under observation, which also gives the young new boxers a method to get rid of their aggressions. Text three is related to the first two texts, even though it doesn’t involved solutions to wayward, it gives an example of a society that once where/were beautiful place, but has been “terrorized” by newcomers. According to Text 3 one local resident complains on his website of; “some nice areas, green trees etc. unfortunately ruined of huge, ugly low-rise flats where the scum of the earth are moved in (and out) on regular basis”. By this...

...child’s interests can be best met by being cared for away from their family home. ‘Looked after’ is a term used to define when an arrangement is made for a child to live away from their families, this can be done as part of voluntary arrangement that comes as a result from a care order or ranging from a short break to being kept away for a longer period of time. The length of time the child can be kept away for can ultimately depend on that of the needs of the child and the family’s circumstances. Parents have the ability to continue being responsible for their children while they are away from home, however the responsibility is shared with the local authority when the child has the care order. When thinking about children in care, people often come to the conclusion that this is due to abuse or neglect of the child, however that may not always be the case. Children can be placed into care due to the fact that their parents have become ill or unable to cope with them, however under certain circumstances they may be allowed to return to their family home once it is shown that their parents situation has improved enough in order for the parents to be fully able to look after their child, the length of time can vary depending on the circumstances. In this case it could be that the child in question is being raised by a single parent with no help from other family members or friends, and may be going into hospital for an operation or that the parent experienced an illness which...

...To understand problems in today’s society, one must possess an understanding of the history of social movements that have led us to our current standing in time. History is meaningful and relevant from a psychological perspective because it allows us to understand how dynamics between social groups have developed over time, and this understanding can also be useful in the application of public policy (Perlman, Hunter, & Stewart, 2015). However, just because a historical event or social movement may transform policy, it doesn’t necessarily shift individual attitudes. Perpetrators and victims of historical injustice often view events differently because they have different incentives for acknowledging the past. People who benefit from inequality tend to distance themselves and blame the victims, while the victims attempt to preserve memories of past atrocities (Perlman et al., 2015)....

...Imagine moving to a new country that has a different culture and different language that you are not familiar with. It’s going to be pretty hard to do normal everyday tasks like ordering food from a restaurant or even saying hi to someone because you don't know about the country's social cues and mannerisms and they don't understand yours. People will judge you before they even get to know you because you are not like them. This is what it feels like to live in America with Autism.

...What factor(s) best explain the participation of young people in youth cultures? Be sure to explain how these factors operate. Kahn and Kellner (2004) describe youth culture as a trans-disciplinary category which is used by theorists as they try to understand and explain the emergence of the complex forms of hybrid culture and identity that increasingly occur amongst youth throughout the world, but what factors best explain the participation of young people in these subcultures? Also, how do these factors operate? The purpose of this paper is to argue that the participation of young people in youth cultures is best explained by 2 factors; the media and one’s ethnicity. This argument is will made with particular reference to punk and hip hop subcultures as well as brief discussion of Indigenous subculture. The paper will begin with an over view of how subcultures are used to form identities and invent cultural meaning which will be followed by a discussion of the mass media’s influence on youth in today’s society and how and why the media is a major factor in determining youths involvement in different sub cultures. The influence a young person’s ethnicity has on their participation in subcultures will then be addressed with reference to Cohen’s (1955) version of strain theory and how this effects the formation and involvement in subcultures such as indigenous subculture and hip- hop. A conclusion will then be given stating that both ethnicity and the media are the best means...

This music in both Tanzania and the states is used to empower those whose dignity and humanity has been stolen. Tanzania’s depicted “hooligans” of this music is the states’ “thugs,” which are both racialized stereotypes. As one anonymous writer describes the loss of jobs has led to increased drug dealing and crime in these Tanzania neighborhoods within Dar es Salaam,...

...I stand in defense of Gustavo Gutierrez who has been judged against the orthodoxy of his theology in light of the documents “Instruction on Certain Aspects of the ‘Theology of Liberation’” and “Libertatis Conscientia.” It is important to understand that although these documents by cardinal Ratzinger raise various eyebrows towards some of the practices of modern liberation theology, these are in no way a condemnation of liberation theology, or of Gutierrez’ theology for that matter. The issues however that each of these documents discuss are the following; the tendency to act towards Marxist actions, the lack of prioritization of the ultimate purpose of liberation, the tendency to call about violence for change, and the failure to address the new forms of oppression that are created. Throughout his various books, Gustavo Gutierrez addresses these issues and leaves no way for misinterpretation against the orthodoxy of his theology; in reality, his teachings are deeply rooted in Christian doctrine, however they are misinterpreted if not analyzed thoroughly. One of the biggest issues that is compared to Gutierrez’s teachings is the idea that he promotes a Marxist and communist approach/analysis to life. What this implies is that we get rid of the class struggles that exist and that everyone work together through a single class (the working class). Specifically, the idea that we must act (praxis) in order to liberate others around us is one that stems from a similar idea of action...

...God showed me their problems in immigrant context and gave me a heart for them. For that reason, I decide myself to dedicate to educate children and youth. Once I was a director of toddler’s department at the Church of Light & Salt in Texas from 2008-2011. I coordinated, designed, and prepared worship service every Sunday. I planned a special exhibition of children’s and moms’ works each year and opened it. I wrote twelve meditation books for mom and toddlers. It allowed my church to increase interest in children’s worship and helped children to be raised in good Christian environment. My church members started to understand that not only young kids have a right to worship God but also they can have a relationship with...

...the hours of painful treatment just to manage the diseases, nor the time and energy a family member spends to care for the loved one. More so, these numbers do not even reflect the pain of losing someone you love. But for decision-makers, these exact figures and immeasurable realities are not compelling enough to pass the necessary measures to reduce tobacco use. Instead, the most marginalized and the poorest sectors are pitted against each other to rationalize inaction - tobacco victims versus farmers, workers against children and youth. Life versus livelihood. The battle of the sectors has been the easiest tactic to muddle the discourse on amendments to excise taxation. What we fail to remember is that all of these sectors - farmers, urban poor, youth, children, and workers are the tobacco victims. They are the ones selling their produce at a lower cost because of the monopoly, the ones earning below minimum wage or, worse, hired contractually, and they are also the primary consumers-replacement smokers-turned-patients a few years after being addicted to smoking. They are the same people continuously getting trapped in the vicious poverty cycle of having less education, lower income, poorer health, and...

...What should be the role of Corporate Sector in addressing issues of marginalized children given that Corporate have a mandate to run profitable business? In general, the term ‘marginalization’ describes the overt actions or tendencies of human societies, where people who they perceive to undesirable or without useful function, are excluded, i.e., marginalized. These people, who are marginalized, from a GROUP or COMMUNITY for their protection and integration and are known as ‘marginalized groups’. This limits their opportunities and means for survival. Peter Leonard defines marginality as, “being outside the mainstream of productive activity and/or social reproductive activity”. Usually a minority group has the following characteristics: 1) It suffers from discrimination and subordination. 2) They have physical and/or cultural traits that set them apart, and which are disapproved of, by a dominant group. 3) They share a sense of collective identity and common burdens. 4) They have shared social rules about who belongs, and who does not. 5) They have a tendency to marry within the group. Thus, marginalization is a complex as well as shifting phenomenon linked to social status. Problems faced by Marginalized Children are: Child mortality and morbidity are caused and compounded by poverty, their sex and caste position in society. All these have consequences on their nutrition intake, access to healthcare, environment and education. Poverty has a direct...

...discrimination. In India, they are deprived of basic human rights including access to education. Their status is much miserable because of the nation’s inherent poverty coupled with inequality. UNDP’s Human Development Report Points out to the trends. In the age of globalisation it is likely that poverty and inequality shall grow further and women may suffer more stringently as it has happened in Phillipines. So it is high time to plan for strategic intervention to ensure opportunities in favour of the most marginalized, especially the girl child, so that she gets appropriate knowledge and skill to live in this world of competition governed by market and earns a dignified livelihood and leads a qualitative life. Contrary to the popular belief that social prejudices stand in the way of girl child’s access and completion of education, research studies have found that poor economic condition of parents is a stronger cause, and an inappropriate curriculum for the marginalized child is even the strongest of all. Creating better opportunities for the disadvantaged girl child would require not only reconstruction of curriculum, but also state’s commitment for adequate investment to provide for free and...

...through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and glamorization of sex violence. College female students are at the highest risk of falling victim to predatory college men. Furthermore, 88% of sexual assault survivors do not report. When victims build up enough courage to come forward to the university system, the universities either blame the victim, encourage victims to not report to the police or to suppress all knowledge of the sexual assault. With that, victims of sexual violence are discouraged to come forward about their traumatic experience. Because of this, 99.4% of sexual violent perpetrators will walk free and not face criminal charges or even expulsion. The #metoo movement helps and supports young women who suffer from sexual violence by breaking the silencers through empowerment and empathy. In addition to, holding men accountable for their actions by not settling or falling complacent to the universities resistance to discipline and expel the college...

...men with disabilities and 116,265 women with disabilities (excluding north and east province of the country) to over 10% as quoted by some NGO’s. Based on the National Policy on Disability, women who have disability are categorized under the marginalized groups within the marginalized group where they are subject to marked discrimination. With a total unemployment rate of 16% among people who have disability, gender wise it stands at 22% for men and 8% for women. This is similar to the educational opportunities for women. Fewer women have had the opportunity of going to school than men have at 63% to 71% respectively. Based on the survey recently conducted by AKASA on the situation of women with disability (Survey Report), the largest number of WWD’s was found to suffer from mobility impairment followed by those with hearing and visual disabilities. Further, over 60% of WWD’s have no access to assistive devices and equipment and most of them are engaged in domestic work while others on self employment. These women come largely from poor backgrounds where the monthly family income is below 6000 rupees (below US$60) and do not own any land of their own. Moreover, in terms of age distribution, the large majority were predominantly young within the age range of 16 to 35. In terms of human rights, the overwhelming majority (over 90%) believe that they should enjoy equal rights as all others. Unfortunately, the survey also reveal that a substantial proportion of women with disability...
