Spanking and other types of corporal punishment tend to make children rebel. In contrast to other corrective methods that will easily teach them a valuable lesson. Children don’t think prudently like adults do. However, they do have a sense of fairness which doesn’t help when punishment is being issued. For the reason that the child may realize that he or she is being mistreated and unloved when punished.
Despite the films comedic tendencies and its simplified subject matter, it manages to provide some interesting insight into high schools social pyramid. It helps illustrate how difficult it is to resist being popular when everyone in society is so invested and unwilling to change it. People can lose themselves when they just accept what everyone else believes to be ‘worthy’ of social acceptance. This movie preaches the judgments that are rolling off teenagers tongues and out in the open where it can hurt someone. As a society we are incapable of accepting that we are all unique and different, but we need to just accept
Young children can be self conscious they can think, but they don’t think about thinking. Self consciousness is exacerbated by the Imaginary Audience. Teens feel that a group of people are always watching and judging them on everything that they do. When a teen feels like they are getting judge by an audience that doesn’t exist this is called Imaginary audience. Imaginary audience arises from the larger concept of adolescent egocentrism.
Firstly, the ideas of being isolated from a friendship group is a daunting vision for many youngsters, and are thus willing to adopt the groups norms and values if it means they will acquire popularity or just to be part of a group. The peer group is a secondary agent of socialisation which means they develop and further reinforce the learning one was once subjected to in early childhood. A peer group that holds good values, like hard work may encourage its members into positive things, yet one that has detrimental values may lead to deviant behaviour. In spite of this influence, some may argue that the media in today’s media saturated world has become the most influential agent of socialisation. Stereotypes related to gender are regularly portrayed in the media.
Being a juvenile comes with many different strains that most adults do not have to face as well as having far less consequence in many cases is they do something wrong or make a mistake. Strains that that a juvenile goes through can sometimes lead to delinquency whether it is the pressures of fitting in or the problems at home all these factors can lead to delinquent behavior. Strain theory has two types of strain a person will encounter the first is the actual or anticipated failure to achieve a goal and in a juveniles life that could be anything from a good grade on a test to a not getting into a particular college. The second type of strain is actual or anticipated loss of positive stimuli or presentation of negative stimuli which in a juvenile’s life could be loss of a loved one or a presents of an abusive parent. A juvenile would be more likely to commit a delinquent act or crime because many of these factors in the strain are things that they can not control or get away from, if an adult is a bad relationship they have the option to leave and get away from that person but a juvenile doesn’t always have that option many times they are forced to stay in places and deal with whatever the strain is and this causes an excess of strain which in turn causes delinquent behavior.
For some reason people do not become what they want to be, instead they become what they see other “popular” people as. Conformity is directly related to peer pressure. “Although people feel peer pressure their entire lives, young people who are seeking to define themselves are generally most influenced by the values and attitudes of their peers. Adolescents often encourage friends to do or try things that they themselves are doing in order to fit into to a group” (faqs.org). Conformity is not always negative.
Social networks and websites have made it easier for kids to bully others anonymously and harshly. This ongoing bullying drives children to depression and self-harming themselves to get rid of the pain. The victims of bullying don’t realise that there are others out there that are in the same position and
Therefore unlike the Daily Mail, which delights in demonising teenagers, The Observer encourages people to “try a little love instead”. Indeed if everyone tried a “little love” it would not only support teenagers but it would encourage them to behave and to well at school which would ultimately make them more successful. In conclusion the representation of teenagers in the media is completely unfair and wrong. I believe that we should all give teenagers more support and less criticism, including the Daily Mail. Being a teenager is a very difficult process as your body dramatically changes and you are subject to over-whelming hormones.
Simply stated, youths should know better than what they are doing in society today. Yes, everyone makes mistakes; it is inevitable. On the other hand, it is common that once someone makes a mistake, that person becomes more cautious of his/her behaviours; conversely, youths are doing the opposite. The YCJA is too soft on youths who know full well the meaning of their
As a result, they are confident individuals who can freely associate with other people without loosing their own identity. However, when youth fail to navigate this crisis successfully, they are uncertain about who they are. Lacking this understanding, they can become socially disconnected and cut-off from others; or conversely, they can develop an exaggerated sense of their own importance and may adopt extremist positions. According to Erikson's theory, when youth become stuck at this stage, they will be unable to become emotionally mature adults ("Mentalhelp.net",
