...fathers. You may not believe this but for some kids divorce has more of an impact on children than death. Parents are going through divorces when children are too young to even understand what is going on, what will these kids be thinking when they're sixteen, and they do not have a dad. Children get affected by so many things at a young age, but what people don’t understand, is that children are smarter than you think.

...Culture plays a huge impact in everyone’s everyday life. Culture helps in identifying members of a particular group who share the same behaviors, beliefs, traditions and values. Children begin to learn the culture of their family at a young age but don’t necessarily understand that everyone isn’t from the same culture and don’t follow the same traditions and values. This paper is going to explore what impact culture has on the lives of young children. What role culture plays in the lives of children who are being raised by parents who are from two different cultures will also be discussed. Also how these children cultural development are shaped by the diverse group of people they encounter in school and the roles their parents play in their lives. According to Diller (2011), culture is viewed as a lens through which life is perceived (Diller, 2011, p. 5). A child’s first lesson in culture usually comes from the teachings of their parents. Swick (1986) points out that it is in the performance of various roles that parents introduce children to the basics of their culture (Swick, 1986, p. 72). Children also get to learn about culture through watching their parent’s behavior in various situations. Parents are usually the first people who a child can learn about their culture from and once they start school, their teachers also take on this role as well. Thomas (1998) said that within a family, culture can define boundaries, expectations, rules for interactions...

...marriages more likely to end in divorce? You must be thinking why a young female like me would be writing about marriages and divorce? Well let me begin by telling you that I think young adults that get married young are doing a terrible thing because they are doing it all for the wrong reasons. I personally think that there are a lot of social problems with this generation such as young females getting raped then having to get an abortion because they are mentally and physically unable to look after a child that would remind the young females that they have been raped. There are many other social problems such as teenagers getting married due to family breakdown, religious reasons and different tradition in families. Many young adults nowadays would want to get married at young age because they believe they are in love. Then again I don’t believe that it is possible to be in love at such young age as we still have our whole future ahead of us to find love and to commit to each other. I have been asking myself why teenagers leave home at such young ages to get married. And I have found out that most teenagers hate living by rules and because we live with our parents we would have to live by their rules. I have seen most teenagers lie to their parents saying that they were going to stay at a friend’s house but instead have gone to see their boyfriend. But what these young females don’t understand is that their parents are trying to help them as they have been in our shoes and would...

...school, and you had to change your plans. What did you do? What did you learn from this experience? I think, young people are always criticized by old ones. On the one hand, young people nowadays are really rebellious. They think that they can life the way they want and don’t want to listen to anybody’s advice. They believe that the older generation has followed the wrong way and now the younger one has to face the results of their harmful activities and policies in all spheres of life. On the other hand, the older people believe that they are always right. They think that the world has become much worse since the time they were young. What is the way out of this situation? The young people must understand that the older generation has worked much and has seen much and deserver some respect and least for this. Moreover, the opinion of old people is not is thing to disregard. And old people should try to see that not all that is new is bad, it’s just different. I had one situation in my life with my parents. They said me how do I solve my problems. I said that it’s my problem and I could decide it alone. They wanted that I‘m happy and don’t repeat their mistakes. I understand that my parents know more than I, but I learn from my mistakes. So, I love my parents and always listen to their opinion, but I make my conclusions. Sometimes, when I’m doing errors, parents take offense. But I think this is my life. After all, nobody is perfect and we must take a step to mutual...

...human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual activity, reproductive health, emotional relations, reproductive rights and responsibilities, sexual abstinence, and birth control.

These programs also have the potential to encourage youngsters to use protection during their first sexual experience. Sex education should be taught in school to create early awareness among teenagers, to prevent social problem, and to develop healthy attitude. The factor why sex education should be taught in school is to create early awareness among teenagers.

For example when speaking to a child you would use a child friendly approach but when speaking to other professionals you may use words or phrases that may sound like jargon to other people. A transition that would link in well with needed good communication skills would be when a child has just started a setting, this is because you will need to keep liaising with the parents or guardians of that child about how they are settling in or if there are any issues or concerns, for example a child may not be doing so well when it comes to the...

...Hunger Games: Confronting Violence in Tween Books In The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, everything is excitingly explicitly violent.

The troubling reality is that the Hunger games is a symbolic reference to real life situations. Everywhere, there’s abuse, neglect, bullying and other horrors that make life miserable for young people, forcing them to fight for their own survival. Parents are worried about two main things and that is the exposure to violence and psychological burdens that reading or watching the Hunger Games can bring. How are parents supposed to react to children killing children; therefore is this survival of the fittest? The Hunger Games book has parents worried about their children feeling the burden of economic sacrifice. They view the Hunger Games as a punishment that must be tolerated because it puts physical and mental distress on their shoulders. Parents feel that the book has too much violence. Parents are concerned how to approach their children and talk to them about death. Parents are worried about the way the story is told and the outcome it will have on their children after they read it. Parents are worried about what age is appropriate for their children to see the movie because their worried that children will see these scenes, and have their minds warped into believing that violence is painful,...

...many disabled children do not have access to play environments, it is difficult for them to interact with other children. This lack of interaction causes non-disabled children to judge those with disabilities because they are unfamiliar with the child’s limitations and do not understand that everyone is born different. Since disabled children would be more present within these play areas, non-disabled children would become more accepting and understanding of their limitations. Also, children would be more willing to adjust the rules of a game or an activity, so that the disabled child could play and feel included in the fun. By creating a shared...

...Young problems. When you leave school you understand that the time of your independence life and the beginning of a far more serious examination of your abilities and character has come. You also understand that from now you’ll have to do everything yourself, and to “fight” with everybody around you for better life. The first problem that young people meet is to choose their future profession, it means that they have to choose the future of their life. It’s not an easy task to make the right choice of a job. You know children have a lot of dreams about their future : to become a superman or a policeman or a doctor … It’s very easy they think, but when they become older and see real world they understand that in all professions need to know perfectly about what you do, you must be well-educated and well-informed. That’s why I think it’s very important to have a good education at school. And if you work hard everything will be OK. Another problem of young people is drugs. This is a relatively new problem but it is becoming more and more dangerous. Million young people today are using drugs, and most of them will die. Usually they want just to try it , then again and again … and after year may be two years they will die . It is true. Because there are no medicine to help you. That’s why never do it, if you do - it goes bad, very bad. I think that police must work hard to protect young people from drugs. Because drugs will kill our young generation and our future will...

...Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke” by Suze Orman, and “Let’s Get Real About Money” by Eric Tyson is one that measures an individual’s knowledge on how to handle their money and ways to make it grow to benefit them. Key points found in both books deals with a lot of the economic aspects of our society today. By using both books as references and knowledge gained from the microeconomics book, This paper discusses the benefits of both books for one’s overall ability to be financially sound, even if you think you may live in an un-financially sound society. Although, both books are geared toward readers in different stages of their lives, they do bring up the questions of whether or not these individuals understand the concept of money, or how it should be a benefit and not a hindrance, and also that it is truly not the happiness factor for life that several millions believe the case to be. The one idea that should be taken from this paper is the knowing whether or not you are financially healthy enough to fit your needs, goals, and desires. What is an economy? It is a type of management of one’s resources. Whether its money, oil, food, land, or a type of service, knowing how to manage one’s own resources, is key to having a great personal economy, even when your countries’ economy isn’t doing so well. To make it even simpler, when talking about one’s personal economy, I talk about one’s financial situation. It has become very trendy for young people, middle aged adults...

...As a child one thing that is taught early is how to read. Reading becomes an import task for a young child because it is the key to success. Parents, Grandparents, Guardians, and teachers, and many more always try to push kids to read, because that way they will be a smarter person in the future. These adults usually start by introducing Curious George, Dr. Seuss, and maybe The Hunger Caterpillar, so on. These books are funny and easy to read, also, teach how to rhyme, use and even learn a little lesson. Children later on of course without possibility of stopping the process become young adults, oh those teenagers that think they understand everything in the world, and sometimes they do. High school becomes a time to teach and assign them...

...Haoshun Guan English 96 Paper 1 9:30-11:15 Dream of Athlete In the essay “Delusions of Grandeur,” Henry Louis Gates, Jr. talks about the issue of young blacks and their aspirations of being a professional athlete. He argues that there are actually not have many successful black professional athletes, but there are many successful black doctors and lawyers. (COORD)In his argument, he puts most of the blame on schools; stating with that they don’t do enough job in encouraging young black children to pursue other careers beside the sports. Although schools are one of the reasons why black youths are perusing careers as professional athletes, there are also other factors that Gates, Jr. neglected to mention in his essay. By only singling out the schools and some unilateral information, he was not able to give us a strong enough argument. By neglecting to give us different factors or reasons to how black youths are being encouraged to pursue a career in professional sports more than other careers, his argument is nothing more than a letter of frustration black youths. As Gates, Jr. used a lot of examples on how black youths aren’t passing in their school courses, those example are not enough to show that encouragement toward sports is the main reason why they are failing. For example, Gates, Jr. stated that “A recent survey of the Philadelphia school system, for example, he stated that ‘more than half of all students in the third, fifth and eighth grades cannot perform...
