The media frequently casts gangs in a negative light.

In fact, gangs are being accused of stemming as a result of disintegration of teenage society. Members of gangs are being touted as people who are poorly educated, come from dysfunctional families, and are disrespectful of the older generations. A perception like this is unfortunate because the ...

The point brought up in her paper on Nancy Lee Swann’s studies on Ban Zhao states how Ban Zhao advocated that “man is superior to woman and obedience should be the guiding principle of a woman's behaviour throughout her life (Lee, 11)” would be seen as something negative in today’s society.

Early childhood education is no doubt the most essential aspect of human learning, considering that it lays down the foundation for higher learning (Montessori 34). For this reason, I give a lot of prominence to my personal philosophy of early childhood education because in one way or another, I, as an educator of young learners, am the custodian of many futures. Worth mentioning is that our philosophies of learning are always shaped by the research and understanding of the views of various gurus and theorists in the field of early childhood education.

One of the ways to fight crime is by preventing it before it even happens. However, it is not possible to prevent crime unless the cause of the crime is known. Once the concerned people have knowledge on the causes of crime, it is easy to take preventive measures. Several programs have been set up for this reason. These programs are meant to serve the society, mainly the youth who are predisposed to crime. Most are established by non-governmental organizations. However, in some cases, government agencies set up such programs in a bid to lower crime rates in a particular area.

Arriving at college exposes students to unprecedented levels ...

This can have negative effects on their health, their social lives, and the personal relationship ...

Prostitution is perhaps the ultimate victimless crime: a consensual transaction in which both parties are supposedly committing a crime, and the person most likely to be charged—the one selling sex—is also the one most likely to be viewed as the victim. (Young)

Comparative Essay

There is not much to distinguish between Jane Austen’s ‘Emma’ and Amy Heckerling’s, ‘Clueless.’ Emma was twenty-one and she had all the good things anyone her age would have desired. Cher (Alicia Silverstone) on the other hand, was just sixteen, and she too had all the goodies contemporary America could offer. After all, she was the only daughter of a very successful lawyer in California, who charged $500 an hour “to fight with people,” as Cher says. In many ways, Heckerling’s Clueless can be mistaken to be the modern version of Austen’s Emma. However, there are ...

Introduction

This essay provides reasons why a mandatory period of national service (either civilian or military) for all young U.S. citizens is not a good idea. The concept of universal service arises from time to time, and in this instance surfaced following remarks made by General Stanley McChrystal at the 2012 Aspen Ideas Festival. He is quoted as saying that “our notion of ‘service’ had become dangerously narrow, with less than one percent of Americans serving in our military, and challenged us to explore new pathways and opportunities for service to country.” Those remarks of his triggered the Aspen Institute to launch a ...

I think that starting a job is never easy. Obviously, being an employee presupposes a bulk of responsibility you have to shoulder. In its turn, responsibility entails a certain amount of skills that can guarantee good quality of your work. Looking back at my first job interview, I can’t get rid of that ‘butterflies-in-the-stomach’ feeling that I was going to fail or it would be a complete flop. Later it appeared out to be very unwise of me to question my own abilities; however, this is what hinders young people to have a go and get their foot in the door.

Psychology

In the article of Kahn, she described the common behavior of juveniles who are considered as psychopaths as those children who are callous-unemotional (Kahn, “Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath?”).

These symptoms are considered at the determining factors that a child may become a psychopath when he or she becomes an adult (Kahn, “Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath?”).
This conclusion is based on the psychological exams conducted using the following tools such as the Child Psychopathy Scale and Antisocial Process Screening Device ...
