My first indication that Wayward Pines existed became apparent when the new television show of the same name launched on Hulu and stars Matt Dillon as Ethan‚ the main character. There is a very modern Twilight Zone twist to this story of a man waking up in a small town where no one can escape and no one is allowed to talk of their past lives. I love books where I can’t comprehend what is really happening‚ and the entire time I’m working on understanding the underlying reality‚ yet when I feel I’m

In my opinion the one that stands out the most would be the Article from Theory to Policy: Evidence-Based Corrections by Doris L. Mackenzie‚ specifically in the section Rehabilitation: Saving the Wayward. It stands out to me as the most useful because “Rehabilitation thus involves use of correctional programs to cure what is wrong with offenders.” (Lec‚ 5/12/16). This is getting to the root of the problem‚ helping people with their problems‚ not just punishing people. In one case where this type

Learning Site- "The Hitler Youth was seen as being as important to a child as school was". The Hitler Youth was a logical extension of Hitler’s belief that the future of Nazi Germany was its children. "The weak must be chiselled away. I want young men and women who can suffer pain. A young German must be as swift as a greyhound‚ as tough as leather‚ and as hard as Krupp’s steel." Movements for youngsters were part of German culture and the Hitler Youth had been created in the

“Testament of Youth” by Vera Brittain 1933 How does the writer portray her feelings about war? The testament of youth was written 15 years after the First World War‚ therefore it is not perhaps as reliable because she’s had time to forget the memories and also be given different people’s views which would mean that she didn’t put something in or changed it because it didn’t fit with her new views. However it may be even more reliable because since the war ended more truths have come out‚ when

license be taken away? Of course not. Neither situation is fair. Raising the driving age will punish all young drivers for the mistakes of a few of their peers.” These words are the thoughts and feelings of Alex Koroknay-Palicz from the National Youth Rights Association (http://teacher.scholastic.com).

In Order to evaluate and witness the influences that Kendra Creasy Dean and Ron Foster’s text‚ “The Godbearing Life”‚ had on my personal view of youth ministry and specifically the role of the youth pastor/leader I would first like to establish what my view of youth ministry was‚ before the reading‚ through an analogy. The analogy I often compare youth ministry to is the structure of command and the purposes and interactive relationships within the seventeenth century British Navy. It may be a
