...Individual Theories CJS/240 Sunday Septemeber11th, 2011 Individual Theories There are so many reason why young people commit crimes in today’s society whereas others strive to excel. Many of these reasons tend to vary depending on the home that the youth grew up in or around, or even how smart or challenged the youth is, however; all of these factors are caused by different settings , and consequences or punishments need to be put into place to keep the youth from becoming a criminal. Just because a youth has grown up in poor situations or circumstances there is no reason for the youth to become a criminal because of their history. There are so many theories that are put into place to fit each reason or excuse that a young person gives as to why a crime or criminal act is attempted or committed. According to the routine activities theory a young person will commit a crime if they know that the opportunity is there. A teen might be aware that there is a home that is easy to get into because there are not police officers around, and it would be a way for them to obtain some cash since they are broke and need to come up with money quick. The idea of this theory is that since a teenager realizes that his or her needs fit the opportunity that has become available to them that they will commit the crime. I seriously believe that this theory has completely forgot that just because a young person does not have a lot of supervision, and could have some poor initial morals, that...

...he did not score. The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none" The director asked, "Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees. The director asked "Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The director asked," Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me. The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning. The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water. This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him...

...others. The film “Our World” from the website was based on R&B singer John Legend and how he has taken his success and his name to provide a better education for youth. Bringing a quality education to each child is very important. John Legend speaks on the importance of education as well as how each child should receive the equivalent amount of education. John Legend also includes, we as parents should not blame the system for not working. Taking time out and looking at our community needs will provide our kids with programs and resources that will ensure kids are receiving the proper education. John Legend was successful not by chance, but with meeting the right people as well as having an education. External social pressures are no more than peer pressure, but more suffered and caused by society to encourage and conform attitude changes in values and behavior for the good of society. Social pressure can change a brilliant and charming idea into a hopeless and dry one. However, the influences external social pressures have on organizational ethics can influence corporations to consider actions and behavior they may not otherwise take into account. For example, kids living in a low-income environment with no direction will more likely follow in a direction of gangs in violent because of their environment. For some youth there is no choice, but we can’t expect for our kids to be better than we were if we do not make change. These issues are important to the organization because...

...When young people have just finished high school, they usually focus on applying to a university. It is the common way for young people in this period but in some countries, they are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. It can bring the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this. First, we will discuss its advantages. When they work or travel, they have a good chance to change the atmosphere. When they go out for working they will have many skills that no school or experience before can bring to. They can also discover their potential skills, which they are good at and which they do not have or not good at, then try to improve them. By working, they can find what they need, they want and what they want to become, things that may be they do not know clearly when they have just left high school. By developing skills in working, they will have experiences, communicative skill, team-working skill and many others useful skills. Then, they can choose to continue working or start university. While many young people go out for working, others spend this gap year to travel. They will have a wonderful time in many places.

...Analiysis ‘Muscle Binds’ Sport has been the object of cult for many centuries. However not everyone shares this position. The author of the article ‘Muscle binds’, Dina La Vardera, expresses her attitude to the sports activity. The article touches the problems of obsession by physical exercises. The author calls upon to remember that there are a lot of other pleasures except sport and it occasions more health and social problems than it seems. Being an expensive short-lasting fashion, exercises make people forget about everything except their beauty, even their own death does not matter anymore. They train the bodies but neglect the minds. According to the author it’s better to be a couch potato but not a self-righteous young person with rippling muscles. The title of the article reflects the contents of the article in full measure: one is bound to train not to have cellulite, one is bound to train to follow the fashion, one is bound to train to come to term with oneself, and finally, one is bound to train to be healthy. As the article is written in ironic way it is quite easy to read but the real sense is caught only by the end. It makes the reader understand that he/she is either a silly “hunk” or a lazy “potato”. The passage is written in a very chatty informal publicistic style to draw reader’s attention, to persuade them to get the author’s point of view and to entertain them. It is chosen for the target audience who consists of young people...

...Cultural Observation Project 1 Date: September 10, 2012 Youth 201-Section # B06 Observation: I walked into River Crossing Mall to observe the youth of today. As I entered the mall, my first thought was that watching young people surely could not generate an entire four-page report. You see, I have never taken an interest in watching people that I did not have any direct contact with. I took the escalator down to the first level and I ordered some Chinese food and a diet coke. I found an empty table and proceeded to let the observation begin. Much to my surprise, I began to pay close attention to a group of very young white kids at a table about three rows up from where I was sitting. The first thing I noticed about them is that they each had body piercings and tattoos covered most of their arms. I wondered how they would feel about the dramatic body art they were advertising in about twenty years from now. Next, I saw two young white boys sporting blonde spiked Mohawk hairstyles standing around just outside a video game store. They appeared to be staring very intently at something on the back of one of the games that they each had purchased. This only lasted as long as it took for them to notice three young black girls, who could not have been more then thirteen or fourteen at the most, as they walked by. These girls wore the most revealing and tight little shorts I think I have ever seen on anyone before. When the girls saw that the boys were looking at them...

...It might be known for us all that the hope for the future is the youth. Considerably, we might like to change the “hope” into something deeper – perhaps the triumph of the future. We can’t stay along with hope only. Shouldn’t we be the achievement of the betterment of the future? To further explain what it is all about, let us consider this: Filipino citizens undeniably consider Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s phrase, “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.” In English, we would literally translate it into, “The youth is the hope of the community.” Unfortunately, we tend to forget that the phrase mentioned was stated years back. We can’t stay along with what’s made from the past. We should focus about what’s going on in the present; it was a considerable thing that it occurred to us to be a stepping stone for our improvement. The youth must be known to be the REASON –not just hope or “pag-asa” we usually quote for- of the future. We are the actual reason why some issues have gone this far. When we contemplate the recent activities, the outstanding professionals we know are the youths of yesterday. They were the reason why a lot of integral innovations were made. The future they consider is what exists today. The people from the past brought us the “future” preferences. We are aware that the world is changing, right? Consequently, we do not usually notice the essential reasons or causes why it changes. We tend to advert at the effect or the change. It’s like a “delta” in most sciences, which...

...Youth Pastor Interview By Brian Weathers It takes a special kind of person to want to lead the young people in today’s society/ I have a close friend that is serving as a youth pastor at a local church in our small town in Woodruff South Carolina. He has been serving as a youth pastor for over ten years now and still has the desire to teach and fellowship with the youth at his church. Tony tells me that the age group that he has on a weekly basis range from thirteen years of age to seventeen years of age. He also tells me that he really enjoys this range of ages because he can really relate to what they deal with on a daily basis because he has a son that fits into this range of ages that he teaches on a weekly basis at his church. In interviewing Tony for this paper he describe his teaching opportunities that he has is both formal and informal. He has the typical Sunday morning and evening services that would be considered as formal teaching opportunities and then there are Wednesday night services that would also be considered as a formal teaching opportunity that he does every week. As far as the informal opportunities would be when they have gatherings that is not included in the normal service times and this is a great way to reach the ones that come just for fun and fellowship not inside the church building. The way that he breaks down his youth group is by what current grade the student is actually in. This way he can keep the same ages together...

...Is the American Dream a Delusion? The idea of the American Dream is rooted deep in every Americans heart. The American dream is a national ethos of the United States in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and the idea that life should be fuller, richer and better for everyone regardless of social class or circumstances of birth. But this view on the American dream is challenged by gender studies and college teacher Courtney E. Martin in her article ”Is the American Dream a Delusion?”, in which she questions the value of the American Dream. Courtney E. Martin is a gender studies professor at Hunter College which is one of the most ethnically diverse schools. This gives her a sense of credibility; that she knows what she is talking about. In this article she is addressing teachers and professional educators like herself, because of the complex and formal language used by E. Martin, for example “I want to give my students an intellectual tool that can serve as an emotional cushion”. This is not only an example of the complexity of the language, but also an example of the many metaphors E. Martin uses in the article. Metaphors are mostly used to emphasise a point or so there is a sense of clarity. Another example of a metaphor could be “I don't want to be the pinprick that lets the air out of the swollen balloon of hope”. By using this metaphor, E. Martin clarifies that she is not trying to beat the immigrants down or take their hope away. Later...

...had to watch over myself and my little sister in a very nice neighborhood where everybody would mind his or her own business. But a neighbor in the area took it upon herself to take care of us like her children so that we would become very responsible even though we had everything to survive and make life comfortable for us. This was where and how I got my inspiration to do charity and give back to the society in my own little way. Notwithstanding the little thing written about me above, I like to do the following outside my job and other thing that takes my time and these thing I do, is mostly in my closet. They are things that I do as an individual from my own free will. I do a lot of youth counseling in my neighborhood and because of this, am well- known in my neighborhood by a lot of youth in my hood because my door is always opened to them. I became glued to this when a lot of young people always wanted to share thoughts with me and the secret to this is basically because I come to their level because I...

...Duffy and Pugh both explore the transition from child to adult and the loss of innocence through knowledge and experience. Duffy’s poems “In Mrs Tickers class” and “Boy” represent both ends of the spectrum, as one describes children naturally progressing and the other shows an adult longing to return to infancy, whereas Pugh’s poem “Sweet 18” describes the “perfection” of unspoilt innocence. Duffy creates a familiar childhood setting in the poem “in Mrs Tilscher’s class” by using language such as “growed” and “chalky” to represent a typical classroom and emphasise the light – heated approach to life that innocent children have. By highlighting the trivial priorities that children have, such as finding “a good gold star” and “carefully” sharpened pencils, Duffy portrays the differences between the pressures and priorities of childhood to those of an adult life. Familiar childhood memories give the reader a feeling of safety, this technique is also used in Duffy’s poem “Boy” with the phase “I put my pyjamas on ….” Which reveals that boy in this poem feels safe and comfortable in his pyjamas as perhaps this brings back treasured childhood memories. The innocence of a childhood, however, is often spoilt, whether through growing knowledge or experience or whether through growing knowledge or experience or whether it is forced upon the child abruptly. Duffy foreshadows the transition with the phase “inky tadpoles changed from commas into exclamation marks” showing a growth...
