Nice Boys Division Case Study

I decided to do my field study at the Boys Ranch Town (BRT), which is a residential private facility that houses boys that have low level behavior issues or simply don’t have a home to go to. BRT is apart of Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children (OBHC) they get all of their funding from donors who appreciate that things that OBHC and BRT are doing for the community. BRT is on a working ranch in which the boys live on and help maintain. The Boys Ranch accepts boys from ages 9-15, but residents can live on the campus until they graduate high school. The average length of stay is about 18 months.

In the book All American Boys what the authors suggest about the nature of bias is that it is a factor in the lives of many people in some way, and is one of the main reasons why society is not equal. This is shown when the general white population in the book sides with Paul after the altercation with Rashad, even though the plot made it so clear Paul was in the wrong. The first piece of evidence is when the presumably white school committee was only looking for spray paint cans in the lockers of students of color, which is portrayed in the following quote said by Jill: “‘That’s what I saw. Three black students, boys, in a row. Then Martinez. They skipped me!’” (183). Jill was so outraged by what happened at this point in the book because

Justin Rollins, raised in the streets of South-London, was deprived of a childhood where he fought for purpose in a world filled with racism and violence. In his book “The Lost Boyz” he tells us the crucial events which occurred throughout his upbringing which shaped his journey through his teenage years. This essay will critically evaluate the theories and explanations for Rollins’ offending behaviour using a wide range of criminological perspectives.

Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) is a countrywide organization of local subdivisions that provide after-school programs for young people. The purpose of BGCA is to provide young people with a safe environment during weekends and after school. As a non-profit organization, Boys and Girls Clubs of America run after-school clubs that serves over 4 million children across 3,400 facilities throughout 50 states and Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The organization also has 150 clubs located on the Native American tribal lands as well as another 400 clubs located in military bases that are spread across the globe. Since its inception, the organization and its predecessors have been tackling juvenile delinquency for more than 100 years. In order to accomplish this objective, BGCA opens the clubs on a daily basis after school and during weekends. These clubs are managed by full-time youth development professionals who are supported by volunteers in the community. Despite of its activities revolving around sports and recreational activities, BGCA provide programs that focus on health and life skills, character and leadership development, computer skills, and arts.

Boyz in the Hood starts off with the character Tre Styles as a young man who lives in South Central, Los Angeles with his mom Rita. The social work student viewed this beginning portion of the movie portraying his young life as a social worker. The social work student noticed that Tre lived with his mother in an apartment in a rough neighborhood. Tre went to school but had problems acting out and being the class clown. Tre and the friends he hung around here had foul language and used profanity as young kids. This is just one example of how Tre’s surroundings influenced his life. According to Newman & Newman (2014), the Social Role theory suggests that a person learns behaviors from observing in their environments. Young Tre Styles learned profanity from somewhere in his rough environment and this is a method of learning socially. Rita, his mother was working on her Master’s degree and wanted better for Tre, so it is unlikely she promoted the use of profanity in her household. A contract between the two was drafter and Tre agreed with his mother that if he did not behave he would move in with his father. Rita stayed true to the contract they drafted and took Tre to live with his father Furious, so Tre could learn how to be a man.

It seemed as though hope had been revived in the fourth quarter when an 80-yard run by Baldiviez put some points up on Dana’s end of the board. With 49 seconds remaining, Junior Corey Cisowski found Senior Ryder Lynch who finished off the game with a 6-yard touchdown.

Let's go back in time to the 2009-2010 NFL season. The New Orlean Saints have just finished all of their preseason games and are looking toward the regular season. After a very mediocre 8-8 season in 2008, everybody is writing off the saints. Although to some significant off season trades and very average draft, they were predicted a slightly above average 10-6 season. Playoff contenders for sure, but nobody even thought about super bowl winners. The team was led by Drew Brees. One of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, but with an awful defense and a rushing attack that wasn't much better, the team was projected to be carried solely on the back of Drew Brees all season long. What soon later ensued was

The boys and girls club have been serving children for 150 years. They have given their helping hand to millions of kids worldwide. The Boys and Girls club’s mission has always been “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.” The Boys and Girl’s club was formed to assist underprivileged children or children who do not live in the best environment. This organization possesses a numerous amount of goals and achievements they want for each child in the program. They provide a safe and fun environment; help create skills for the future and help children build relationships with positive adults. In addition the

Lucas Giolito – Giolito’s fantasy numbers in his first four starts have accounted for two masterful performances, sandwiched in the middle of two defensive collapses by his fielders. He allowed 1 earned run, scattering only a half dozen hits over 14 innings in two victories. He maintained his 1K/inning rate in those two wins.

The Boys and Girls Club (BGC) is a national non-profit organization that provides youth with the tools and skills they need to become healthy adults, responsible citizens, and effective leaders. The BGC was founded in 1860 by three women, Elizabeth Hamersley and sisters Mary and Alice Goodwin in Hartford, Connecticut. The BGC was initially named the Boys’ Clubs until 1990 they became the Boys and Girls Club. Their headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. This organization was originally created to provide boys with a positive alternative to roaming the streets.

Pershing dared to defy the white man who came into his district asking him to procure a "nice, clean colored" girl for sex. I think he did that because of three reasons. Firstly, he could never dare to defend his sister, never stand up to gang of white men with snuff in their mouth yelling out what they what do to her. And then, when the white man asked him that, his anger flared as strong because his sister as well as the other colored girls were offended seriously about honor and dignity of the human. So to protest them, he had decided to fight back, resist the white man. Secondly, he lived in whites's oppression and repression. He saw many colored people who was killed, hanged, burned alive without any reasons. This was the world he was

The issue that is being investigated are between two Spanish “football” (soccer) teams – which team is ultimately better? Both giants in their own right, Barcelona and Real Madrid have traded success and feuded for a very long time. Both sets of fans have fought over which team is better – comparing players, stats, style of play, managers, stadiums, etc.

Hood: slang for neighborhood or black area/life. Before 1991 this concept of hood life was never before portrayed or looked into until John Singleton produced the black social drama Boyz N the Hood. This is the first film by a black director that actually goes deep inside the ghetto or inner city. Singleton carefully directs this film so that it appears to mirror the real world “having value as a kind of anthropological study of an unfamiliar way of life'; (Thompson 2).

In this case study Chip uses a leadership style of forcing and competing in order to meet his desired needs. This gives him the delusion of power and superiority both by using intimidation and condescending remarks coupled with situational abuse. These characteristics are the shark style of conflict and never questioning a leaders’ authority. If an opinion is desired it will be formulated and given to the other party. Chip manages his employees and associates with ridicule, put downs, and threats to obtain the desired objectives. An immediate reaction might be to fight fire with fire but there may be more to this case than the initial burn of a shark bite.

I have used the Boys and Girls club as a prime example in my theory but there are many organizations established that focus on the development of our youth. My theory focuses on establishing this structure in the school system and not be something that can only be obtained if it is sought out. It is a theory that has been proven to have significant impact through already established organizations. Key organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS), an organization whose motto can be found on their organizations homepage follows, “We help children realize their potential and build their futures. We nurture children and strengthen communities” best describes the goal adolescent mentoring can achieve (n.d).
