The article discusses how important it is to tailor the drug and alcohol education to the Amish specific needs. It gives a model that will create an “interface between Amish and non-Amish culture, respects their spiritual beliefs, and maximizes learning and motivation to change behaviors” (Weber, Cates, & Carey, 2010, p. 97). The first section of the article discusses how the Amish youth have increasingly been involved in the criminal justice system due to drug and/or alcohol use. Because of this, the agencies have had to find a way to best serve this sensitive culture. We are then introduced to a model program that has been provided by the Elkhart-LaGrange settlement of Indiana (Weber, Cates, & Carey, 2010, p.

It is also seen as a tool for socialisation, and a key social institution in sustaining the value consensus for the society to run smoothly (Webb et al, 2008). According to Murdock (1949), the four main functions of the family are identified as: education, which is the socialisation of the young into society shared norms and values of learning right from wrong. Parsons (1955), agreed with Murdock, but stated that the functions of the family in the society are of two folds: the primary socialisation which is the socialisation of the children to equip them with the norms and values they need to succeed in society. He goes on to argue that if children are not successfully socialised, they will not fit the value consensus and will not be able to function in the society (Harris, 2008). Murdock (1949) added that the family exists to provide economic function and that parents have the responsibility to take care of their family financially, usually through harmonious division of labour where the man takes on the instrumental role, and provide for the family, and the woman adopts the
It is a national non-profit organization that focuses on five major areas: (1) Providing accurate information about tobacco, alcohol, and drugs; (2) Teaching students techniques to resist peer pressure; (3) Teaching students respect for the law and law enforcers; (4) Giving students ideas for alternatives to drug use; and (5) Aaron 2 Building the self-esteem of students (Siegel, 2005). The program curriculum is designed to be taught by police officers whose training and experience give them the background needed to help make this program successful in the classroom (D.A.R.E. America, 1996). Police Officers who participate in D.A.R.E. received over 80 hours of special training in areas such as child development, communication skills, and teaching techniques.
It is through these five elements that we can begin to make sense of the dominant discourses of youth work in the twentieth century and can view youth work as a form of informal education’ (Smith 1999) The main features of the definitions of youth work is that the youth workers number one priority is to help and inform the young people. The AYAC definition and Bessants definition are similar, because they both agree that the youth worker must put the young person interests first. Smiths five elements encourages youth workers to be aware of the young people's welfare and provide them with informal education. My idea of youth work is similar to that of the AYAC and Bessant, because I believe that the youth worker must listen to the young person, provide them with advice and put their welfare as their number one priority. Define detached youth work and explain what impact does detached youth work potentially have on the power relations between young people, youth workers, family, peers and society?

That is the relationship between the two genders, and the relationship between gender and society. Girls and boys are encouraged to adopt female and male characteristics that are determined by society. Their behaviour is reinforced by praise or reward for being appropriately masculine or feminine. (Buckingham-Hatfield, 2000). Freud’s psychodynamic theory implies that a child’s gender identity is absent before the age of around three and that it is not fully formed
It also involves protecting children and young people from maltreatment and preventing impairment of a child’s health and development by ensuring children are raised in positive circumstances by providing safe and caring environments. Parents and carers who fail to protect or care for their children could then be taken to court and the child be then removed from the home and placed in care. The UN Convention is a set of principles about the way how to protect children from discrimination, neglect and abuse. It is the principal children's treaty, covering a full range of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. It grants rights for children in peacetime as well as during armed conflict, and provides for the implementation of those rights.
The goal of this essay is to bring to light the identity construction and development of both Helena and Sven through the theoretical micro, meso, and macro dimensions of discrimination and stratification entrenched throughout their youth experiences. Social stratification refers “to how individuals and groups are layered or ranked in society according to how many valued resources they have.” (Ballantine & Roberts, p.207). Various levels of stratification are embedded throughout Helena’s and Sven’s stories demonstrating how family, community, and identities remain key factors in the youth transition period. Sven and Helena develop their identity into adulthood while facing unstable social and economic times. First, it is important to explore each story in the micro-level analysis of stratification, prestige and influence.
