Pup Named Scooby Doo

There are children living in societies that are filled with gangs and peer pressure. When I was growing up, my mother was a single parent; she was also the head of the house, respectfully. She had a well-paying job, but we stayed in a place that I would consider low class. I witnessed kids smoking, stealing, and being disrespectful to adults, even their own parents. Since my mother pretty much raised me and taught me not to give in to things that may cause problems in the future, I really had nothing to worry about.

“In our media-intensive culture it is not difficult to find differing opinions… The difficulty lies in deciding which opinion to agree with and which ‘experts’ seem the most credible” (Espejo 11). The perceptions of one age group in society of another age group are built upon assumptions that are made through what is visible. However, rarely is anyone willing to understand the reason behind someone’s actions. Sibling rivalry, the death of a loved one, moving to a new school, competition among peers, and the reputation adolescents have today often end up giving a misperception of society to teens and of teens to society, thus damaging the relationships between society, as illustrated by J.D. Salinger in The Catcher in the Rye.

Who has more problems: the affluent kids or the less civilized kids? Many people make the assumption that the upper class is sure to have less issues than the destitutions, because they are rich. In the book, The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton shows that both the upper and lower class experience different dilemmas. Hinton also emphasizes how the Greasers and Socs may have came from different backgrounds aren’t really differentiable. In the Outsiders, S.E. Hinton’s characterizations of individual Greasers and Socs reveal that both rich and poor kids face problems and feel trapped by their social statuses.

Children have a long standing history in crimes. Some are cold blooded killers and some have real mental issues we have no idea they have. Children have been in crime since the 1900s. Currently in the united states there are thousands of children coming into jail everyday for murder, homicide, or any other particular crime. One source states that, “Currently an estimated 250,000 youth are tried, sentenced, or incarcerated as adults every year across the

In gangs, there are many jobs that must be done. The jobs in the gang can be done by any ages, such as adolescents, young adults, or even children. The children that work in gangs can be so young that they are still in elementary school (AACAP). The kids do easy and dangerous jobs that would not bring any attention to them. For instance, being a lookout for cops on the corner would most likely be a job a child does. These jobs put them in harm's way. They could be arrested, or they could be killed by another member of rival gangs. children are small in size and do not look threatening, which in turn keeps them out of the police sites. This also makes them a good asset on a team since they can get away with more than an adult can. Having children in gangs is a big issue, even today and the book The Other Wes Moore shows an insight of how children in gangs work and how they act to each other.

When it comes to kids, we tend to baby them. We organize their lives and set limits on everything. If they want to do something outside those limits we tell them they are not old enough or they have not experienced enough of the world yet. After all, what can they possibly know about love, major decisions, and what is best for them? Yet somehow, despite all this, when they commit a crime we turn into hypocrites. Magically, they are geniuses who know everything about the world. In society’s eyes, they are no longer a child, but a monster.

The Frontline episode “When Kids Get Life” serves as a reminder for how the criminal justice system sometimes drops the proverbial ball when it comes to juveniles. Time after time, situations arise and are brought to the attention of the Department of Social Services. Whether they are overlooked or lost somehow, they are deprived of the help they need. The system fails children who are crying for help, and the results are sometimes fatal. Circumstances lead to the loss of life, not only for the victims, but also for the delinquents who saw no other way out. In other cases, the group mentality of juveniles equates to the responsibility of all members for a crime committed by one person.

Philadelphia, PA has had a serious gang problem for decades. The gangs that Philly is currently dealing with are children as young as 7 years of age that are being recruited to join gangs. Even though Philadelphia Police do not refer to them as gangs but rather as groups.

In the 1950's everything in America was great it was a very illustrious decade in history. We stood, “summit of the world” as the Prime of Britain commented. The US had the strongest, uttermost powerful military at the time. Our economy was booming. Cars, food, and house were more available than ever. Equally important, was Tulsa, Oklahoma, dubbed as “America’s Most beautiful city.”Tulsa’s economy was booming as well. the oil business was successful. After World War II America was great. But like most things you can't judge a book by its cover. The education in America was worse than ever. Some kids wouldn't receive proper discipline. And with that, They didn't know right from wrong. Just like both gangs in The Outsiders especially the Socs. In The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, Ponyboy Curtis is having a hard life not only did his parents died 8 months before. He is a part of the greasers, a gang of poor, middle to lower-class teens who live in the slums. Still, that doesn't matter because they are family. On the other hand, and side of town are the Socs a clan of rich stuck-up children who get everything in their heart's desire. The Soc do crime to get attention or just because they can. Likewise, they are criminals that are made. Their family life/ situations make them into who they are and how the Socs act. At the same time, the relationships in the Socs influence the traits that are perceived by the Socs from the Greasers. Also, the society defines them, making barriers, some people break the barriers. Still, more people spend their life inside the living by definition of who they are, assigned by society.

What should parents do for protecting children when children commit crime? The story of the book is there are two brothers whom always have a meeting time at advanced restaurant in every month. The older brother, Serge, who is prominent politician and has Rick as a biological child, Babette as wife, and Faso as an adopted child. The younger brother, Paul Lohmann, who is retired teacher and has Clair as wife and Michel as a child.

After their parents

Juveniles often join gangs to be accepted into a society of their peers. These juveniles are looking for acceptance and a sense of belonging. They join these gangs for special status amongst their friends, protection from other gangs, financial help, peer pressure, excitement and for some juveniles, they are born into a gang society and it is a family tradition. Gangs can also act like a family. They will praise, chastise and show them a form of love and respect that they are looking for but cannot get at home.

In the original television series of Scooby-Doo it shows the lifestyles of teenagers in the 1960’s. In all of the episodes you can tell that Shaggy and Scooby is scaredy cats because any little noise they will jump and run away. The opposite of them is Fred because he is the alpha male because he is muscular and is the leader and will not back down from anything. Fred’s “girlfriend” Daphne is a rich girl who can go to her parents and get anything she wants. Lastly you have Velma, the geek who solves the mystery before anyone else.

They use the kids to spy on the parents within the home to make sure they do not go against the inner party. The inner circle turns their own people on each other so not only they look to catch each other but they also have no big groups to conspire with.

One of the most important lessons anyone can teach you is that is is okay to be afraid, and Shaggy Rogers of Mystery Inc. does that effortlessly. Every single episode of Scooby Doo, in every single version and in every single movie, involves a scene where Shaggy is scared beyond his wits, and the the only thing he can do to make a solution is run. In this day in age, when discussing fight or flight reactions, the fight aspect is revered. A person who chooses to fight in the heat of battle instead of running away is a hero. They represent everything a person should strive to be, and if you prefer to preserve yourself and move as fast as you possibly can, you’re a wimp, a coward. Shaggy gives those who flight instead of fight, hope. He shows

Through clothing, toys, children are negatively influenced by the stereotypes that accompany them. In clothing stores around Canada, the apparel of young boy's and girl's is stereotypical. Seen immediately in clothing stores is the extreme contrast between the two sections. The girl's section is filled with an abundance of sparkles, sequins, flowers, and pink on all articles of clothing. The boy's section is the
