...experience, respond, and perceive global threats (Hipp et al, 2009). Specifically, the attacks on 9/11 were actions of terrorist and exposed the weaknesses of the nation, and specifically Washington DC. The article that will be scrutinized by Bornstein & Hendricks (2007) attempts to analyze the stress responses of adolescents in the Washington D.C. area within an ecological structure including, adolescent perception, maternal personal characteristics, and adolescent personal characteristics. The Theoretical Basis of the Article Bornstein & Hendricks (2007) use, “…a developmental, multivariate approach that allows for the evaluation of interrelations among variables as well as the unique contributions of each…” (p. 72). The extent of this study is distinctive because few studies have investigated the effects of disasters and war on adolescents from an ecological viewpoint. The article reflects upon the adolescent perception, personal characteristics of the adolescent and maternal personal characteristics of the adolescent’s parent or guardian. This last reflection is necessary because a parent’s behavior often takes a backseat to the viewpoint that an adolescent has of these particular behaviors (Bornstein & Hendricks, 2007).Studies have shown that the stress response reactions and...

...Task 1 Nowadays, adolescents rashly spend most of their money away without any financial planning. Over 90% of the adolescent’s parents are concerned about their children’s financial problems such as overspending and budget deficits.(1) According to the research of 00000, the adolescents’ knowledge of money management was decreased from 51% in 2007 to 35% in 2011.(8) I presume that budgeting can control income and expenses, therefore it would help the adolescents to achieve their financial goal. By having a good budget, adolescents can become aware of their financial situation and develop a spending plan to reach the financial goal in the future.(0) Hence, my topic is budgeting for the adolescents. Budgeting is a crucial financial tool, it is also a basis that can assist adolescents in reducing their financial problems.(2) Not only does budgeting help adolescents develop a spending plan and future goals, but it also leads them to acknowledge their income accurately, and develop advanced money management skills for their future planning.(2) 000000 research shows that high school students who had a personal financial education have higher rate of saving their income in comparison to students who didn’t undertake the program.(1) For most students, over 92%, acknowledged that having good money management can surely assist them in living a successful and financially stable life.(1) Task 2 In order to develop good budgeting, there are three factors to...

...Folk Beliefs: Its effect on adolescents Adsuara, Abigail Q. De La Salle University-Dasmarinas Abstract This paper shows the effects of folk beliefs to Filipino adolescents of the 21st century. The goal of the paper is to know the adolescents’ views and opinions about folk beliefs. The goal has been done by analyzing the information given by a certain number of respondents through an interview and online survey. Upon analyzing the information, the researcher concluded that most Filipino adolescents do not believe on folk beliefs but they have high respect on it because it is part of the Filipino culture. The paper highlights how folk beliefs can limit an adolescent’s view of reality to show the effects of it to human. Introduction Science and technology had already conquered this generation. Since the American liberation had conquered the Philippines many years ago, the Filipinos had started to drag themselves to a change that everyone thought will effaced the old traditions and customs. The Filipinos thought that the older generation’s ways can be absorbed by the technology that surrounds them. Tradition was being passed from one generation to the next. They practice it and unknowingly, they believe on it. Some of them are not aware that his nature was built around this tradition. Among the traditions of the Filipinos is the set of unwritten laws that their ancestors introduced thousands of years ago. Folk beliefs or superstitions are common notion or beliefs...

...Stephanie Yeo Adolescent development Professor Faltot Bullying A typical prevention program for bullying helps elementary students recognize, refuse, and report bullying. They teach kids to report bullying and teaching them not to do it. These programs are heard to help decline bullying in schools and other places. This also helps the kids to stand up to people and makes them feel a lot safer. These programs are to help prevent bullying and make kids feel safe going to school and around their neighborhoods. This program is very helpful with adolescents. It is helpful because these programs have a lot to help prevent bullying. It shows that bullying can cause a lot of short time and long time damage to a person. Males are more likely to bully someone rather than a female. The adolescents are told to go to an adult if they are being bullied and talk to them. Bullying effects adolescents a lot and is the main age that is effects. This type of program is very helpful. Adolescent egocentric thinking can play a big part in bullying it may be the reason someone is bulling someone else. This also could play a part in having a problem with the success with the program. This could cause a problem with the program because the adolescent is only focused on themselves and think everyone is looking at them and they think people will judge what they are wearing. This could be a reason on why other kids pick on other kids is because they are insecure about what they are...

...Sports Injuries While researching further into the major of Physical Therapy, there was a topic that kept resurfacing. That topic was adolescent sports injuries and why/how they occur. Injuries from sports participation are a substantial cause of hospitals visits and medical bills. Sport injuries are the second leading cause of ER visits for adolescents. As I dived deeper into researching this topic I came across scholarly articles though places such as JSTOR, Google scholar, and more through the library databases. One of my favorite articles that I used throughout the semester was Taft’s. Although this article might be slightly out-of-date I think the information is still respectable and still truthful to the current date. Timothy...

...realization that, indeed everyone is exposed to vulnerability and that even within our comfort zone, it takes few seconds for our whole lives to turn upside down. The article chosen for this analysis is of Bornstein & Hendricks (2007), which talks about the stress responses that were faced by adolescent living in the Washington area. The article will include adolescent perception, personal characteristics, and maternal characteristics. The Theoretical Basis of the Article This article sheds light on unique perspective as few studies have examined the after effects of war or natural disaster on adolescence from an ecological point of view. This article concentrates on maternal characteristics, personal characteristics, as well as the perception of the adolescent towards the primary giver (Bornstein & Hendricks, 2007). From a young age, a child will use same or similar communication style of their personal caregiver thus; stress response and reaction of caregivers have significant impact on how the adolescent reacts to a stressful situation. Either it makes the child stronger and learn to deal and overcome stress, or the adolescent lacks in the ability in adaptive to changes. Adolescent personal traits also play a major role on perceiving a stressful event as...

...Checkpoint: Drug Use and Delinquency Response Christina Whitaker CJS/240 August 8, 2013 Kathy Holder In all honesty I feel that with adolescents they may try drugs just in order to experiment and to see what it’s like or they were most likely pressured into giving it a try by member of their peers. Drug use that’s among adolescents behavior will most likely start before the start of drugs and/or alcohol. According to the studies some professionals believe that adolescents who are basically involved with illicit drugs are simply separating themselves from normality of society in order to try to make a statement. Then there other professionals who believes that the juveniles who participate/experiment with certain drugs other than the use of alcohol and tobacco will most likely allow themselves to fall into a negative environment. Studies shows that adolescents will give all kinds of various reasons on to why they decided to turn to drugs such as: 1. My friends made me do it; 2. I just wanted to feel good; 3. All I wanted to do is to fit in and 4. Just want to try to escape the problems that I’m having. So basically these are just a few of the excuses that adolescents will give in order to try the various drugs. (Titus, Godley, and White, 2006) Also, an adolescent may use drugs as a result or a sign of lacked parental guidance, a strong secure family bond, supervision or let alone the physical, psychological and substance abuse that’s been happening within the adolescent’s...

...Adolescent times of storm and stress revised Hanne Op de Beeck Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC) Hanne.Opdebeeck@law.kuleuven.be ABSTRACT This paper focuses on two issues regarding theories of adolescence. The first one, which has been a topic of discussion for a long time, concerns whether adolescence should be regarded as either an uncomplicated or a turbulent period. In the latter case, it is aspired in this paper to find out which factors account for such turbulence. The second issue, which arose more recently, concerns the continually longer postponement of the transition to adulthood. These topics are empirically addressed using the data of the second Flemish Youth Monitor. Analyses indicate that the loss of childhood innocence causes adolescents to have a more realistic evaluation of live, self and relationships. For adolescents whose ties with parents and their school environment are less tight, this can cause heightened stress in terms of lowered selfesteem and negative future prospects. These stresses, however, cannot account for the rise in delinquent activity during this developmental stage, for the analyses indicate that adolescent delinquency rather results from a more outgoing lifestyle. Finally, the idea of a prolongation of ‘storm and stress’ cannot be supported by the data, since it is found that most youth find their balance back around age 22. 1. STORM AND STRESS? The idea of adolescence being a period of ‘storm and stress’ – a perspective which was introduced...

...“Respect others if you would have others respect you” This, written by Baltasar Gracian, is reflecting that if we want to be respected then we have to learn to respect. Disrespect is lack of respect or disregarding someone. Most disrespect you may see will come from children. At their age it is easier to influence them in a negative way rather than adults. Things such as music, television, and social media are known to be a part of this. Research states it is very common for an adolescent to disrespect adults. It is often provoked by increased stress, depression, or violent feelings. One factor you will see is the lack of discipline. Growing up and learning about what’s wrong and what’s right is a crucial part of one’s life. Without discipline, people can grow up thinking they can do what pleases them and not get in trouble. That can include talking in a vulgar way, physical abuse and crime. Music can influence in multiple ways. The most direct way is the lyrics of the song. Sometimes a song will mention things such as beating up parents, allowing people to think this is acceptable. Another way is the artist themselves. Sometimes they will want to act just like their favorite artist. Sometimes that certain artist will be seen getting arrested or doing drugs and their fans will want to act in the same manner. It can take a post on social media, or an article in the news about the artist. Aside from the music, television may also have an effect on the child’s behavior. Certain...
