Youth Service America

The developmental stage Professor Speak-Lewis assigned our group was young adulthood. During young adulthood, one is transitioning from a teenager into an adult. In young adulthood there are developmental tasks and process that take place. This stage can be associated with Erikson 's Psychosocial theory of “ Intimacy vs. Isolation” and Levinson’s theory of Life Structure. As well as to our client Patrick, we are able to relate to young adulthood because he is in the young adulthood stage and is…

Another concerned parent, Jean-Pierre Bolat in Wallingford, Connecticut, stated that Perks should be banned because it is a “glorification of alcohol use and drugs. I don’t believe in censorship, but believe in appropriateness.” This raises another issue: who determines what age is appropriate content for this area. Of course the parents believe that they are first and foremost indicator on what educators should teach their children. In comparison, Julia Tomiak--a mother, blogger, and young…

The Audacity of Sincerity I 'm being sincere here, I promise; but the thought of blazing a trail of sincerity in a world that is accustomed to lies is an audacious move that requires stern commitment. I have wondered time and time again that how did we get to the point where manipulation has become the norm; sincerity and irony have almost become synonymous. On the part of the pop artistes, I see a conundrum of insincerity that is necessitated by an audience that has developed “itchy ears” for…

make mistakes, sometimes from pressure from peers or sometimes out of anger, and trying them as an adult is unjustified and morally wrong. Making mistakes is the only way for someone to learn; if the young person is sentenced to years of community service or a jail sentence where the minor is not set to be released until they are in their forties, then the life of a young person has been wasted when they could have been learning from their mistakes and possibly making up for it. Sometimes they…

In the following essay I will compare modernity and post-modernity relating to youth. I will draw upon one theory, policy and practice and critically reflect on it. The Costello Committee Report defines the purpose of youth work as: ‘’Youth work must empower young people and enable them to emerge from the enveloping state of dependence….young people must know, feel and believe that they have some control over their situations in the sense of having ability to influence intentionally what happens…

believed that it must be hard for immigrant youths to excel or adapt to a new culture. I believed this because I previously worked at an elementary school where there were immigrant youths who could not speak or understand English, which would make it hard for those children to do well on standardized tests. Not being able to perform well on standardized tests means that the child will not be able to advance to the next…

Gwendolyn Brooks, a female black author. She had written many poems, but to everyone there is one that sticks out the most.“We Real Cool.” She wishes that wasn 't the only poem that she is well-known for but that will do for her. Her poem is very short yet it is good enough to set an image and makes someone think about what era this was at and how it can trigger something. It is based on of the young adults and what they do as an everyday life instead of what they should be doing to better…

in elections. The percentage of youth who vote is almost little to nothing compared to the percentage of older individuals who turn out to vote. Why is that? Why don 't young people vote? Is there some motivator that would cause a young person to vote? Single issue voting has increasingly become a popular trend in America, could that be a motivator? Robert Winsler’s "The Accidental Motivator: Florida 's Medicinal Marijuana Ballot Initiative 's Impact on the Youth Vote," sought out to…

and their satisfaction with the quality of care they receive from a primary care youth mental health service: a qualitive study. Understanding this study is important because it will help with the appropriate primary care and early intervention for young people who suffers from depression and other mental health issues. The results will not only help improve faculty employer’s interactions and care for these youths, but it would also provide future re-engagement and help those with mental health…
