Youth America Narrative

What observations would you make regarding the cognitive, moral, and social-emotional developmental manifestations of the teen’s reactions occurring here.

Writer, Adam Clark Estes, in his article, “More Signs That American Youth Are a Lost Generation,” describes how America’s youth are the lost generation. Estes purpose is to point out that America’s youth are the lost generation. He adopts an opinionated tone in order to help describe how America’s youth are the lost generation in his readers.

In America’s daily consumption of media a strange trend has developed in the last couple years. It seems that whenever a real life tragedy occurs many news outlets and politicians tend to place the blame, not in the instigator of these violent acts, but instead in the media they consume which they believed made them this way. "I think there's a question as to whether he would have driven in his mother's car in the first place if he didn't have access to a weapon that he saw in video games that gave him a false sense of courage about what he could do that day." (Murphy) This quote taken from an 2013 debate on a bill to ban assault weapons gives us all the information we need. Violence in media and how it affects violence in real life is misrepresented

Teen activism a problem in our daily life community. Meaning in we need to speak up and adults need to raise kids voice too. Take it from me I am a kid and I have a strong opinion on things too. Just take a look of these three incredible stories. One, Alex LIbby and his story on him speaking up to his parents on being Bullied. Two, Malala Yousafzai and her struggles to get attention. Third, Laura Cock and Rebeka Kahaft wanting to help save the planet and be environmentalist. Kids need help of adults to have a voice so adults help, help the weak voices or the voices people don’t care to stop and think about.

There are people on this Earth who want to help. These people are called Teen Activists. Three important teen activists are Malala Yousafzai, Alex Lin, and Iqbal Masih. These are teens who are making a difference in the world. People don't just want these teens in their life, but the future of Earth depends on them to help. Earth as some of us know is in danger with erosion and pollution. With these teens, we might just stop a significant amount Earth's problems with the help of teen activists. Malala Yousafzai is conscientious with the things she does like helping girl’s education. Alex Lin is ambitious with the things he does because he never gave up. And Iqbal Masih was cooperative with the things

Then the sermon started and let me just say it lasted quite a long time. Most congregations I have visited, which have been many, the preacher is very within his thirty to forty-five minute time frame; I cannot say the same for this preacher. Now, most sermons can seem long when there in your own language but when they are not and you don’t understand anything that is being said they seem to drag on for hours. This sermon actually did that. The preacher preached for close to two hours and to my surprise everyone stayed awake and very active with their “amens” and

Autonomy: This theory is interesting because there was a story about this in the media. I believe it was a few months ago where a young girl refuse chemo. The basics of this story was that a 17 year old teen had a treatable form of cancer but refused treatment. I didn’t look into her decision as to why she refuse chemotherapy but that what she had decided rather it based on her personal beliefs or religion maybe perhaps in some crazy way she doing it for someone else. However, superior court rule against this and I believe force the teen to get treatment. The court states the teen was not competent of making this decision based on her lack maturity. I actually am tore on this story to because I agree with one’s decision making but if I had cancer I would fight till the very end. Nevertheless, everyone has their own views and opinions on this.

We woke up around noon and ate with the team and headed to Carver Arena to watch the 1a third place game and 1a championship. Everyone just ended up in the game room instead of watching the games. Tyler Smithpeters ended up breaking his foot while we were in there. Coach, his father, almost came unglued on us even though it was just a fluke accident. Tyler went to the hospital up there and they ended up taping it up and letting him play.

There are many organizations and teen activists who all share a common goal: protecting and preserving the rainforests of the world. They take action in several different ways, making an impact slowly but steadily. These people and organizations are standing up to the destruction of rainforests around the world, and have made a large impact on saving the plants and animals that live there.

Many people are abandoning their Animals either because they can’t take care of them, or they don’t want to take care of them. Many Animal Centers and Teen Activists are trying to save these Animals. One of these Activists is Faye Carey. She gave Animals a second chance at life. She started saving animals when she underwent a week of work experience at Animal Control Last November.

I think one reason that the author chose to write this particular book was to bring light to the terrible atrocities that were committed during the 1980s in the country of Guatemala. I feel that he felt that he had to show the world what it taken place in the small South American country the size of Tennessee, to inform the world of this terrible time in history. I think he also wrote it to show that teens in America really take their freedom and the opportunities they have for granted. In the mindset of most American youth we believe that anyone can grow up to be a millionaire, or we can all go to college and make something of our lives. Whereas in Guatemala young people such as Gabriella who are both poor and indigenous did not have an opportunity

An aspect of religious language that was extremely prevalent in this service was the evaluative component of it. When talking about religious language, evaluative means that it deals with morals and gives instructions. Religious language can be a sort of guide to how it’s followers should live and the sermon I attended was exactly that. The purpose of this sermon was to teach the congregation how to deal with unrest in the mind. The theme of the series of sermons have been mental and emotional health. Therefore, the sermon I attended was filled with instructions and explanations on how to heal. For example, Pastor Mike Ashcraft recommended that students who are struggling should keep a journal and log their first and last thoughts of the day

The sermon started well: I had managed to capture my congregation's attention and had communicated all I had intended to when all of a sudden, I became self-conscious . My stage fright came rushing back and I started crying. This event prompted me to join The Lectors Association.

Disaffected youth are juvenile who are angry and hopeless with the law but include thugs, dropouts, and drug users. They rebel against law or parents. Apparently, such juveniles are prone to exhibit a unique behavior that may expose them to potential victimization. Some of this example include environment and technology.

The intricate nature of youth means that while some argue it is a universal stage of life, it is seen by many as a formation of sociocultural elements. Social construction can be defined as something that has been shaped by the values, interests or practices of a culture or society and this is evident in the youth demographic through its revolution in recent years. The markings of youth are social in formulation; highlighting the way in which young people have been influenced by differing trends and movements. Youth is a transitional phase, its age bracket extending and blurring; transcending global divides and traditions. Thus, it is the social context that surrounds youth which suggests that it is not a universal stage of life. Ultimately, the idea of youth when viewed in a historical and cultural context as well as in relation to other socially influenced concepts such as adulthood, can be observed as a social construction.
