Youth sports in America has become a trend that has touched every household. Sports has become so ingrained in American culture, that toddlers have even begun to experience it. Almost all children from the ages of six to ten have kicked a soccer ball or hit a ball with a bat. While studies have shown that youth team sports have a tremendous positive impact on a child’s social development, many children have run into serious injuries. Some of these injuries can require extensive surgeries, rehabilitation
theatre, but not used correctly. I feel that children are some of the most important aspects of theatre and are overlooked because of archetypal child stars. Now, this does not mean I endorse productions like Rent adapted for high schools or having twelve-year old’s performing Spurt of Blood. Those sorts of plays are not appropriate and should be performed by adults. However, that also means that they should be limited to Annie.

its toll on children and youth. When looking at crisis, we must examine three key factors in order to be efficient in responding and taking appropriate action: They types of crisis encountered, the effects that it has on children and youth, and what ways we can accurately respond to children and youth who might be experiencing a crisis. It is imperative to respond promptly to crisis because it can have a deep impact on a child or youth. To examine how a crisis can impact children or youth, a deeper
rates of children and youth have nearly tripled in the last 30 years (Government of Canada). Over 30% of Canadian children and youth are overweight or obese (Childhood Obesity Foundation). Childhood obesity is becoming more and more common, causes serious health problems, and needs to be addressed. Obese children and youth are at higher risk of both immediate and long-term health problems that are likely to remain in adulthood. These include both physical and emotional health problems.

Methylphenidate, more commonly known as “Ritalin” was synthesized in 1944 (U.S. Pharmacist, 2002). By 1954, it was being tested on humans to treat “chronic fatigue, depression, psychosis associated with depression, narcolepsy, and to offset the sedating effects of other medications.” (U.S. Pharmacist, 2002) The intent was to use Ritalin to treat the “hyperkinetic syndrome.” (U.S. Pharmacist, 2002) Which was later named Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but wasn’t introduced until
Since the year 2000, youth violence has been one of the biggest concerns in almost every community. In my research I decided to evaluate the study of youth violence. Youth violence is said to start since the early days of childhood and lead onto the teenage years of a child. When talking about youth violence, the child may not only be an offender but they can be a victim of violence as well. Bullying, punching, slapping, kicking, teasing, and verbal abuse are all behaviors and forms of mistreatment
14-18. When World War II started, more than ninety percent of German youth were members of these organizations. Ninety percent is a huge percentage. That means that almost every teenage German, Gentile was a member of some kind of Nazi Youth Organization. Many of these youth organization actually over rid the parental control on the children. Many were told that the individual or the family was less important than the state. If children had disloyal parents, they were encouraged to report them. When
in-class exercise last week I was a worker. At first I assumed I shouldn’t leave my seat but then when the managers came in and explained the need for us to move to the other side of the class, I immediately realized that I need to cooperate and move to a different seat. That’s when I started facing some challenges because some of my peers had a hard time accepting the change. This exercise took me back to when I was an Office Manager at a Doctor’s office. As an office manager I had to learn how to

narrator walking the reader through an office orientation. Typically, work orientation involves introducing new employees to work practices and co-workers. It is an opportunity for company to put its best foot forward, while helping set the work pace and lifestyle for new employees. However, in “Orientation,” Daniel Orozco takes a serious detour from the normal route and takes the reader on a dark tour through the personal lives of his or her co-workers. Although office romances, inappropriate work practices
