an effort to thoroughly evaluate the statement of problem, “the extent to which labels or stigmas negatively impacts on juvenile behavior in High Schools in Malvern”, the Internal Assessment will be encompassing three major objectives. These are (1) To determine what motivates students to commit acts of deviance in schools (juveniles). (2) To observe if deviant acts are committed only by persons of a particular, gender, age category, and social class etc. (3) The extent to which the family unit can be held responsible for producing deviants as they are the primary unit of socialization. [Dysfunctional families] (4) To establish, that certain deviant acts are sanctioned as opposed to others.THERE are a range of threats to mangrove forests in Jamaica and, by extension, the Caribbean and the world. They include over-harvesting, river changes, clearing, over-fishing, pollution, coral reef loss and climate change.
Over-harvesting
Mangrove trees the world over are used for firewood charcoal production as well as for construction wood and wood chips. While harvesting is a practice that has been ongoing for hundreds of years, it has got out of hand in recent times.
In some instances, faced with limited alternatives, if any, people in certain poor communities, such as St Thomas here in Jamaica, increasingly rely on mangroves for charcoal production, for example. The result is over-harvesting, which threatens the survivability of mangrove forests.
River changes
Dams and irrigation cause a reduction in the quantity of water that gets to mangrove forests, thus changing the salinity (salt) level of the water in the forests. Where salinity levels become too high, the mangroves die. Freshwater diversions may also threaten the survival of mangroves.
Erosion, which is caused by deforestation of land, may also deplete mangrove forests. This is so since deforestation increases sediment in rivers, which can undermine the mangroves' filtering ability.
Clearing
