...Sexual activity among young adults has remained a longstanding sociological issue in America. The societal changes witnessed throughout America over the last several decades have been immense; and the root and fabrication of the American family has been altered from such change. In this paper, I will seek to understand teen and young adult sexual relationships aged 14-22 by identifying ways such intimacy connects to gender, age, education, parenting, health, and race to find any possible correlations, specifically hypothesizing that inferior education can be associated with or help to promote heightened sexual activity at a young age. Furthermore, the larger hypothesis of this research paper suggests that when all of the previously mentioned sociological classes (gender, age, etc.) are inferior, one will more likely have sexual encounters at a younger age. Many different socioeconomic issues have an impact on a young adult's sex life, and such examples serve as an illustration to understand a broader range of sociological trends in the United States. Background Information To prepare for this paper's hypothesis, it was prudent to incorporate well-documented sociological research from various studies and academic journals. Primarily, the sources used from this paper findings in this paper were done from university professors in the field of sociology. While much of the research initially found was from contemporary studies, additional information has been attained to help acknowledge...

...English 205 Research Project-Spring 2014 Assignment (adapted from Ways of Reading, AW 1) One way to work on Patricia Nelson Limerick’s essay, “Haunted America”, is to take the challenge and write history—to write the kind of history, that is, that takes into account the problems she defines, the problems of myth, point of view, fixed ideas, simple narrative selective storytelling, misery. You are not a professional historian, you are probably not using this text in a history course, and you don’t have the time to produce a carefully researched history, one that covers all the bases, but you can think of this as an exercise in history writing, a mini-history, a place to start. Consider the following as a place to start: Go to your college library or, perhaps, the local historical society, and find two or three first-person accounts of a single event, ideally accounts from different perspectives. Or, if these are not available, look to the work of historians, but historians taking different positions on a single event. (This does not have to be a history of the American West.) Even if you work with published historians, try to include original documents and accounts in your essay. The more varied the accounts, the better. Then, working with these texts as your primary sources, write a history, one that you can offer as a response to “Haunted America.” Suggestions for writing: Stage the work out into several drafts, writing first from one position or point...

...Pageants: A Source for Strong, Productive Young Women Catina Burrell Columbia Southern University Abstract The pageant circuit has been surrounded with a lot of interest and debate since TLC’s Toddlers and Tiaras hit the airwaves, sporting fake hair and flippers! People of all ages, races, and backgrounds are debating the effects pageants are having on our children and society as a whole. Why has the issue of pageants sparked so much debate? Why it is that child activists and psychologists are so concerned for the children who enter pageants? And lastly, are pageants really that bad? There are many articles, blogs and papers that have written on this topic. This paper seeks to answer a few of the many questions surrounding pageantry. The paper brings light to the many “types” of pageant and further seeks to explain the benefits of pageantry; giving the reader a clear idea of what actually goes on in the world of pageantry. Pageants: A Source for Strong, Productive Young Women My experience with pageants is that of both a contestant and a “pageant mom.” I began competing in pageants at the age of 14. I do not come from a pageant family; my mother knew absolutely nothing about pageants and only allowed me to enter because I wouldn’t stop asking. I won the very first pageant I entered and I was hooked after that. Many pageants later, I had gained several crowns, trophies and prizes, but most importantly I had gained a heightened level of self-esteem and confidence. As...

...these products are specifically aimed at children. They are placed lower so that children can recognize their products from commercials or other media and select them when grocery shopping with their parents. This is only one form of impression that food marketers are leaving on children of all ages. Whether good food or junk food, all food marketers are spending billions of dollars to advertise to one age group: children. Ranging from birth to 17 years, children and young adults are unknowingly programmed by their surroundings everyday to eat whatever the food industry wants them to. In my research paper, I will be analyzing food advertisement geared towards children; specifically how these advertisements affect their health and diets. My position on food marketing is that it is too influential on children and that it needs to be more regulated, either by parents or by the government. Someone needs to take a stand for children so that when they are older, they can live healthy and fulfilling lives. The research I have conducted supports this claim that food marketers, in order to lower the obesity rate in children, need to be more heavily regulated. I also find that the sources I have selected cover the food industry well and will prove to be well-chosen. In order to understand this topic, my audience will need to know how children are being targeted by marketers. The sources I have collected are mostly taken off of the Academic Search Premier database, which is considered...

...for Disease Control and Prevention (2014), childhood obesity has more than doubled and young adult obesity has quadrupled in the last 30 years (p. 1). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention define being overweight as having an excess body weight for a given height, specifically as having excess body fat. The number of obese children today is higher than it has been in the past. However, times are changing and the fast food companies are growing more and more popular each and every day. This paper will examine the research which states that a child is more likely to be obese as an adult if they were obese all throughout their adolescent years and poverty’s effect on childhood obesity. According to Feeding America (2013), 45.3 million Americans were living in poverty (p. 1). This number is very high considering the 318.9 million that are living in America. The unemployment rate in January of 2015 was 5.7%. As a result of unemployment or living in poverty conditions, some families have resorted to buying less expensive food options for their children in order to keep them fed. The number of families living in poverty-like conditions is growing as more and more Americans are laid off and become employed each day. According to Feeding American (2013), poverty normally has been associated with children being underweight as a result of having a poor diet. Another statistic from Feeding America (2013) states that a majority of households, with children and...

Robinson, K. (2013, April) Ted Talks Education How to escape educations death valley [Video File] Retrieved from http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_how_to_escape_education_s_death_valley#t-782486 Ken Robinson is an author, speaker and international advisor on education. He emphasized on importance of education and how it is that we are to change the way we are teaching in America. He mentions that while the standardized testing is ok, we should however expand on the notion with state testing and expand within the arts. He mentions that 60% of children drop out of school before they get into high school. He also states the No Child Left Behind act is based not on diversity but conformity. He compared Finland to each state within the America. Finland does not use any standardized testing; yet they are consistently above average. The difference with Finland and any state in America can be summed up by 3 things. 1) America in general or state level does not individualize teaching and learning. 2) America in general or state level does not invest in the teacher. He states that America spends more money on Education compared to other countries. 3) Responsibility should be at school level where as within the America in general or state level; government plays a role.

...Drug Operation History of Gangs Jaime J. Sopena Richard Solita There is a major misconception in America that gangs originated here in the United States. First we must define; what is a gang? Merriam-Webster defines is as these three variations; a group of criminals; group of young people who do illegal things together and who often fight against other gangs; a group of people who are friends and who do things together. Though it is a general definition I am willing to argue that it may be more than that. In America today we see gangs as territorial, with this being said it can be dated all the way back since Homer’s The Iliad with the Achaeans and their adversaries. But what this paper will focus on the history of gangs in America. Street gangs have become predominantly larger through the previous centuries. Through the birth of this country “gangs” were made up of orphans who mustered together considering themselves like family to be stronger in as a tallied numbered force (Delaney 2006). There is evidence of “gangs” existing early America since the Revolutionary war, and since then researchers have recorded at least 500 gangs between 1760 and 1900(Gurr 1989). While this recorded research is accurate modern rendition of “gangs” became famous with such gangs like Forty Thieves and Dead Rabbits (Delaney 2006). Before there was any law enforcement in early America citizens in New York were pleased with the level of public safety and were not concerned with crime because...

...age. Writing this paper I learned their was more to this issue than I had known. To begin with, everyone constantly grows older, no one’s age continues to remain the same, and therefore everyone will experience some form of ageism at some stage in their life. Many people that experience ageism feel excluded and a lack of respect. In the past older adults and elderly people used to have a lot of respect and power due to them been seen as having extensive knowledge and wisdom on matters and subjects that could not be obtained otherwise. But due to fast changes in technology and society ageism against old people arose. Ageism is an inequality that can be overcome through government institutions’ support, community support and raising awareness of the problem. The Age Discrimination Act 2004 is an example of a government implementing legislation to help with this problem in society. If ageism is not resolved and overcome then discrimination will continue causing a lack of equality. Ageism can happen to anyone, young or old. Many times when discussing Ageism or age discrimination, most people consider older generations as those affected, like I once thought but the reality is that younger generations can be affected by Ageism as well. Ageism is growing in America today, and there are many significant issues that are being associated with this form of discrimination. Furthermore, after doing more research I found one survey of 84 people over the age of 60 in America found over half of...
