...Basis of Argument “Let My Teenager Drink” by T.R. Reid and “Don’t Make Teen Drinking Easier” by Joseph A Califano are articles on opposite sides of the teen drinking debate. While Reid has experience living abroad and seeing teen drinking in a real world scenario, Califano has experience as the founder and chairman of the National Center of Addiction and Substance abuse. While both had some good points, the question remains, what are we (as a nation/parents) trying to prevent? Is it the dangers of binge drinking or lifelong alcohol problems? While Califano’s argument was more about lifelong alcohol problems, he had more facts and statistics to back up his argument. Califano’s argument was more credible and more thought out, perhaps because it was precisely a rebuttal to Reid’s. Let’s look at both essays. Reid’s article was published first and his tone is one of a fatherly concern. He has children and looks at teen drinking with the eyes of a father. He states that he has raised kids in three environments, Tokyo, London, and Colorado. He sees the problem of teen drinking due to the fact that it is done in secret. He asserts that American teens look at drinking as “pregaming”. The goal of this is to get drunk. He maintains that teens abroad don’t have a tendency to do this because they don’t have to hide drinking. It is simply not needed because it is legal to drink there. Reid uses a logical fallacy we call “begging the question”. He claims that the US drinking age of 21...

...these youth are looking for ways to express themselves and cope with the aspects of everyday life, they still strive for godly influences and role models within their lives.

...Summary of Experience Often times these troubled children are only looking for someone to care for them. These children mostly came from families lacking love and affection that they need and want. Many of the teens were placed in these homes because their families just didn’t care what they did. During this career path I was taught many ways to problem solve and work with these children. Working with troubled youth can be very challenging but you also see how rewarding and meaningful it can be. During this time I observed how the youth will try and test the patience of their authority and push many rules that are placed for them. While I was working with these children I realized that you really need to love working with children and want to help them. There are a wide variety of careers that involve providing direct care services to troubled youth. Some of the job titles that work with the troubled youth include case worker or case manager, residential counselor or group care worker, youth advocate and child care worker. I worked as a group care worker in a female teen group home. In this home the group care worker would teach and guide the teens with everyday living techniques and needs. This would be anything from cooking, school work, cleaning, finance and budgeting, and careers. The teens would look at their group care worker as a mentor. These teens had set rules to follow and chores that needed to be done daily. The girls found their lives very structured and we...

...Teen Pregnancy Sabrina Marbury COM 172 June 19, 2012 Jessie Creech Teen Pregnancy In the United States more than one million teenage girls become pregnant every year (Plotnick, 1997). Only 13% of those pregnancies are intended (Plotnick, 1997). Teen Pregnancy has been defined as a teenaged or under aged girl becoming pregnant. Getting pregnant as a teenager gives her a higher risk of running into social aspects and economical issues that surround today’s teenage parents. Teens today are not educated the way they should be on safe sex or teen pregnancy. There are some consequences, big decisions, and great responsibilities a teen has to face once she is pregnant. Most girls seem not to care about being pregnant and overlook the matter that they are carrying a human being. Having a baby at a young age affects the life of the teen as well as the life of the child. Teen pregnancy has been a major concern in society today because of the lack of education and guidance teens have about safe sex and also the effects it brings upon the child and the mother. One main cause of teen pregnancy is the lack of education ("Lack of Parental Guidance," 2004). The lack of education on safe sex is a cause of teenage pregnancy, whether it is from parents, school, or a friend ("Lack of Parental Guidance," 2004). Teenagers with less education about sex and teen pregnancy are more likely to have an unintended pregnancy. Some teenagers chose not to discuss sex with parents because they feel...

According to a government publication called Find Youth Info, only fifty percent of teen mothers have a high school diploma or GED, compared with ninety percent of adolescents who did not give birth; only ten percent had a two or four year college degree, and; teen fathers had a thirty percent lower incidence of graduating from high school than those that are not fathers (“Teen Pregnancy“, 2014, p. 1). Additionally, a sexually active teen increases their risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, and the pregnant teen may encounter health risks and complications due to the pregnancy. The children born to teen mothers are also at a disadvantage from the start. They have a higher risk of (“Teen Pregnancy“, p. 1): - Infant mortality. - Lower birth rate. - Less emotional support. - Less cognitive stimulation. - Fewer skills upon entering kindergarten. - More reliance on publicly funded healthcare. - Higher rate of placement into foster care. - Lower employment rate as a teen.

...Consumer Behavior BCB7094 Hispanic Teens: The New Bicultural Youth Prepared By: FATIMA AL-QADHIBI - 1121200083 Graduate School of Management Session: June 2013 LECTURER : DR. MUHAMMAD SABBIR RAHMAN Hispanic Teens: The New Bicultural Youth Summary Hispanic teens constitute about 20 per cent of all teenagers, and they are very important to marketers. The Hispanic teens represent $20 billion in spending power, and this is growing by 62 per cent through 2020, which make it the faster than other teen’s market. And more important, these teens are joined black teenagers as fashion and style leaders for the over all teens market. Hispanic teens are often different from their parents, who feel that they are under pressure to blend in and be an American, but their teens don’t. The trend for Hispanic is to be bicultural, this is by adding second culture, not replacing their first culture. To do so requires a balancing act, and how they divide between inside and outside the home. This is challenging given the importance of family. The balancing proses leading to biculturalism seems to be working as expert describes “ I’m always amazed by the Hispanic teens. They are speaking Spanish at home, both with friends, English for college and Internet, but they are very much into Hispanic culture even when they are born in US. It is not about being bilingual, it is about being bicultural. They are engrossed in the American culture, and also they are very proud of being...

...PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The Good and Bad Effects of Peer Pressure to Teenagers Peer pressure is commonly applied to younger people especially to us teenagers. Responding to peer pressure is a part of growing up that some teenagers more likely to give in. Peer pressure is the only thing that all teens have in common and some of them can't escape it because it’s almost everywhere. Peer pressure is the way that people influence another individual to take an action or adopt certain values to be one of their social groups. Teenagers are very quick in making their own decisions and judgements. When communication is lacking at home, teens may seek it among their peers instead to their parents for them they know that their peers are always right because they're feeling what you also feel. You think all of you have a lot in common. This outcome indicates that teens may find it more difficult to control their behaviors when their friends are around. They are visible and expressive when it comes to their peers but when it comes to their own parents they are invisible. They always keep in their minds that their parents will never understand them as their peers do. In the bright side, it can also have a positive effect. Peer influence is not necessarily bad at all times. Fellowship with other youths can also sharpen our personality and make us a better person. They can also be a good instrument for us teenagers if those peers have mature...

...and 5 Analysis for BLG Date: October 21, 2011 The purpose of this memorandum is to compare the income summaries from the first 3 years of operation for comparison and analysis and to make predictions for year 5. Attached are supporting materials for further analysis. * BLG Year 4 Income Summary, page * Growth Comparison Chart, page * Target Profit Analysis, page * Sensitivity Analysis, page * Flexible Budget for Year 5, page * Returns on Hours and Investments, page The Target Profit Analysis (pg. XX), provides the number of containers that BLG would have needed to sell to meet a target profit of $40,000. Actual sales of small, medium, and large containers in year 4 were 109, 122, and 35, respectively. Based on calculations from the Analysis (pg. XXX) Sales necessary to meet the goal were 140, 157, 44. Even though this goal was not met, BLG was capable of achieving the target profit of $40,000 in year 4. The Growth Comparison Chart (pg. XX) displays that from year 2 to year 3 BLG increased container sales by 156%. Growth was only 45% from years 3 to 4, while the target profit required 85% growth. Because the growth necessary was less than the historical growth rate, BLG could have feasibly reached a target profit of $40,000. A Sensitivity Analysis (pg. XX) was prepared to examine how sensitive net income is to changes in cost of goods and price for services. If BLG purchases containers at costing 15% less than current, sales of 153, 172...

Anorexia affects mostly females between their teens or young adult women age period, it is harming our society greatly. For w person suffering from Anorexia , social problems form like isolation and depression, too. Also, anorexia is a socially transmitted disorder, environmental factors, such as acceptance in certain athletic and social groups, which can contribute to the effects of an eating disorder. Studies provide information about the environmental issues that influence Anorexia. Some studies say that three-thousand participants from across Europe provide evidence that peer pressure is a major source of an eating disorder. The idea that public opinion and peer pressure causes Anorexia Nervosa has been considered as a possible cause for a while. A lot of people say that low body weight is equated with beauty and success. While overweight or obese individuals, are equated with ugliness, a lack of success, and an implied lack of self control. The conflict between actual and desired body appearance is thought to trigger Anorexia in some people. Teens are vulnerable to social and peer pressure, which might explain why rates of Anorexia occur in the teen years. Social pressure and idealized body image plays a role in Anorexia Nervosa. Social pressure alone probably causes an eating disorder. The majority of people exposed to the social...

...Lou, Sijia Professor Manly ENG 108 Feb, 26, 2011 Summary 1: Article In the article “What Are Friends For? Power and Pain” which was written be Alessandra Stanley, we can know that the author thinks in adults’ world friendship is more constant than romances, but this rule is not right in the youths. Young people pay more attention to love than friendships, so in young’s world the friendships are more variable than the romances. This concept is also right in the “Gossip Girl”. This TV show talked about the friendship, power, romance, gossip and fashion in the campus between the boys and girls. Some parents think this TV show isn’t suitable for their children, because the contents in “Gossip Girl” let their children grow faster to know the real society. But the Children didn’t agree. Even though the “Gossip Girl” is a soap opera and it is based on a popular book series, it not only put fashion and sex as its main point, but also reversed course and found a way saucily to make a virtue of vacuity and viciousness. Summary 2: TV show This TV show is from Gossip Girl season 4 Episode 2. Serena(S) and Blair (B) still stay at Paris and B get another chance from Prince Louis. But while B was getting ready for her perfect date, S was at Paris Morgue to make sure the people laid may or may not be Chuck Bass. Of course it wasn’t him.
