India’s response to the Western influence has been controversial because the elders believe that the youth are gravitating to the western culture and forgetting their Indian traditions. It is Indian culture to take care of those in their community. They do not have social security and making family bonds is extremely important to them. For example, the youth are so connected to social media sites, smart phones, brand name clothing and partying in night clubs according, to YouTube videos that are circling the World Wide Web. In the past, the youth stayed home and girls married young; however, this is no longer the case.…

The purpose of this essay is to critically evaluate both the welfare principals and punitive principals that are paramount to the youth justice system, firstly by looking at what is meant by welfare approaches and how they have been used in adapting the Children’s Hearing System that is used in Scotland today when dealing with young offenders. Then looking at punitive approaches, how they are also used in dealing with young offenders and how they appear to be re-emerging back into the system in the form of the new youth courts which where piloted in Hamilton and Airdrie.…
Some people may think that the background in Youth Justice is very boring and uninteresting, but it is the complete opposite. The background in Youth Justice is the most interesting part. It tells who commits more crimes, the offenders’ age, what factor age plays into youth justice, the punishments youth receive, and their gender. The background of youth justice is a real eye opener to people because they don’t realize the reasoning and truth behind it all.…
Historical youth transitions from school to work were more straightforward than current transitions. The young person would complete school between 14-18, find a job, move out of the family home, form a relationship then marry by 18-11 In a variety of youth research and literature there is a focus on youth transitions. This popular focus examines how youth progress through various stages until they reach adulthood. One of these transitions is from school to work via education. This essay will examine how gender affects the educational choices youth make in this school to work transition. The essay will consider late modern theory in relation to choice biographies. Traditional linear transitions will be compared to current paths. The impact of policy on gender educational choices will then be discussed. This will be followed by a brief description of gender behaviour differences, which impact education choices. Finally two digital narratives will be analysed, these both tell the stories of two individuals who demonstrated traditional gendered biographies. The essay will then draw the conclusion that gender does impact educational choices made by youth in their school to work transitions.…
Since the Great Depression, the federal government has been funding programs that provide low-income, out-of-school, and unemployed youth with education, job training, and supportive services (Fernandes, 2011).

Specifically, the programs are designed to address the multiple barriers to employment faced by these young people and put them on a path towards economic self-sufficiency.…

High school can be a challenging and changing experience for adolescents. It is a time of not only intellectual growth, but also a period in a young person’s life that helps to shape and determine their path for their future. Many students are making decisions about what colleges to go to and even attempting to tackle the huge task of figuring out what career they might possibly pursue. This can add even more pressure on top of the social and academic pressures that come with being a high school student. Though high school can be an exciting time full of great experiences, it is also the place where many students take the wrong path. Some may gain new friends that negatively influence them in their behavior. Others may see their social lives as a priority over their school work or, just the opposite, have difficulty adjusting to high school and fitting in. All could greatly impact not only the student’s high school career, but also their future as well. Being a part of an athletic team is a way to ensure success in both areas. Participating in high school athletics not only improves a student’s overall academic performance, but also has beneficial effects beyond their high school education.…
Despite the commitment of many policymakers and advocates to addressing the ever-increasing sexual and reproductive health needs of youth, calls for appropriate programs, services, and funding have gone largely unanswered. Youth around the world remain at high risk of unplanned pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and sexually transmitted infections, even though many small-scale programs are ready for scale up and would help youth achieve their potential and help nations achieve their development goals. With global attention focused on the Millennium Development Goals, countries that recognize the importance of healthy young adults (ages 15 to 24) also have a better chance of reaching their targets for Goal 3 (promoting gender equality and empowering women), Goal 4 (reducing child mortality), Goal 5 (improving maternal health), and Goal 6 (combating HIV/ AIDS, malaria, and other diseases).1 To further highlight the urgency of reproductive health needs of youth, an international conference was convened in 2008 in Abuja, Nigeria. The conference culminated in the presentation of a Call to Action, urging “increased investments in young people’s health and development as an essential step to supporting young people today and ensuring the promise they hold for tomorrow.”2 Among the recommendations in the Call to Action is the expansion of three types of programs: •• Age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health educational interventions. •• Youth-friendly health services with community outreach. •• Comprehensive information campaigns. This policy brief considers the demographic significance of youth to national development and why policymakers need to pay attention to the reproductive health needs of youth. It examines the evidence that these three types of programs contribute to healthy youth, including examples from field-based success stories. Finally, it…
