order from when they happened. They include: being born and developed into an African-American woman, becoming an older sibling, being considered as a young adult (from the ages of 18-24 years old), and lastly, becoming a child care professional. The one primary cultural group that I am highly affiliated with at the moment is being considered as a young adult; I am currently 22 years of age. I chose this cultural grouping because it would still apply to my life with me being a child care…

Since then the number of youth offenders has decreased between 37,000 to 70,792.

of the long technological tunnel. These athletes provide a sense of what hard work is and where it can take you. Although the physical aspects of what athletes can do are what is most observed by people, the psychological factors that athletes help young people develop are also very important. Some critics deem athletes unfit to be role models for kids. They say that all athletes show the youth of the world is sex, drugs, and murder. However, athletes teach children lessons such as…

Another study conducted by Ida Jodette Hatoum and Deborah Belle, show the effects the media and advertising has on the men. For men the advertised image is usually a tall muscular man that is what…

People have come to believe that getting married at a young age is a thing of the past. In 1970, the average age for women to get married was 21, and the average age for men to get married was 23. Every few years those numbers have been rising. Today, the average age for women to get married is 26, and the average age for men to get married is 28. The change in age ranges for people getting married is being referred to as the second demographic transition (“The Case”). Where in societies…
