One of the most obvious benefits teenagers acquire from a youth club is good amount of exercise and due to the type of sports which are frequently played. Obesity has become a big issue in every society and especially England if the teenagers play sports regularly they can easily cut down the obesity rate and cholesterol as well. Also, exercise is one of the ways to lead a healthy lifestyle and become healthy. Some teenagers/children are not given the opportunity to participate in sports and regular exercise is undoubtedly one important benefit!! Another important benefit is producing good teamwork skills. Everyone needs the ability of working in a team. Many youth groups run team building games. Again, this is an important skill to learn because in future many times teenagers will need to work in teams. In sport, education or in work related situations you might need to work in teams. This also can teach you leadership skills and through this way there is a chance to make more friends. Recently, I saw in the news that many youth clubs offer training and activities based on specific skills for example; arts and crafts.

...The Riot Club Essay - September 2015 Introduction We see tendencies of a divide in social classes everywhere in the world. However, it is very interesting that this divide in social classes plays such a big role in one of the most globalized and industrialized nations in the world. Today, children from the wealthiest families gather up in the best elementary schools, high schools and universities in which they get provided the best teachers and the best education as possible. This tendency leaves nothing for the people in the lower classes. The film The Riot Club from 2014 describes these differences very well. It is about Alistair Ryle and Miles Brown, two students at the Oxford University, which both come from rich families. They get invited to join the Riot Club, which is a closed society for the 10 best students at the university. Throughout the film we follow their development in the Riot Club and also touch upon their different point of view on lower social classes. This assignment contains analysis of setting, characterization of main person and themes in the movie The Riot Club. When we are talking about the setting in The Riot Club, we may conclude that we are dealing with the upper class and the richer part of the British society. The film takes place at Oxford University, where we are following two new students. We know Oxford University as one of the finest universities in Great Britain and maybe even one of the most promoted universities on the entire planet...
