Introduction

The paper aims to research the ‘development of the interpersonal system’ mapped by the ‘interpersonal circumplex’ in early adulthood (ages 18-22).
The paper recounts the considerable body of previous research studying the personality changes that occur across the life span of a human being. Researchers have observed that personality traits are highly stable in adulthood, barring exceptions. The mean rate of change in personality traits remains minimal, ...

In this article, the argument employed about adolescence is constructive. According to (Schlegel, 15) adolescent is defined as a response to the reproductive capacity growth in a social context. During this stage, additional training and nurturing is very important prior to the person taking full responsibility of the roles of an adult both socially and occupationally. I like the argument that during this stage, an individual can accommodate training, but they cannot withstand the complex economic systems (Schlegel, 15). This article clearly illustrates the actual reasons behind the age groupings socially and the differentiation of roles in these groups. In addition, ...

In Michael Moore’s essay, “The Idiot Nation”, he contradicts the general assumption of the American population that every person needs to access free education, and that high school graduates are urged to continue to college and subsequently help the country reach the goal of becoming a smarter nation. According to Michael Moore, this whole assumption makes America become a nation full of idiots. He argues that most Americans spend much of their time in things that are of less importance compared to those that they should actually put sufficient interests. For instance, he uses the example that an average adult ...

Introduction

In this article, the author explores the possible disadvantages to juveniles of waivers into the adult criminal court system, no constitutional right to a jury trial in juvenile court and diversion programs. In introducing the article, Ainsworth (1996) observes that the juvenile court system was based on the premise of two basic perceptions of young people who were in violation of the law: first, young people were both morally and cognitively underdeveloped and thus ...

The article that will be reviewed is “Transfer of juveniles to adult court: Effects of a broad policy in one court”. The aim of the study is to determine the effects and implications of transferring juvenile offenders to the adult court.
One of the key points presented in the study are the possible detrimental effects of the transfer. The possibility of a longer sentence for the adolescent offender exists when he is transferred to an adult court, which is quite unlikely if he had been tried in a juvenile court. Another detrimental effect is victimization. When adolescents are place in adult ...

This article by Sheila Egoff traces the development of children’s literature over time, beginning with the Middle Ages, when there was actually no literature specifically aimed at children as a targeted audience. Because, as Egoff explained, many children were not expected to survive beyond infancy, there seemed little purpose in writing especially for that group who for the most art were not even taught to read and write. What few works for children have survived are books about “manners and instruction.” Other than those, Egoff assumes children that could read had to make do with books such as romances ...

Article Review: Trying Children as Adults

This 2002 paper by Allen discussed the increasing recent trend by many U.S. states to amend laws so that juvenile offenders can more easily be transferred to adult courts. Allen saw the trend as regrettable, focusing more on punishment and less on rehabilitation, following recent Federal legislation reducing state-level independence in the juvenile justice processes.
In his Introduction, Allen commented that whilst America allegedly holds its children in high regard, it nonetheless increasingly heads towards trying juveniles in adult courts for more and more crimes. He stated the country has gone “full circle”, starting from a justice system with ...

In California, Justice for Juveniles

The California Youth Authority (CYA) was a state prison system for youth offenders; it was founded in 1941 to keep juvenile delinquents out of adult prison and provide them with a support system for rehabilitation. It was the belief of lawmakers and social workers at thetime that a better-educated and trained youth would have a greater chance of becoming integrated back into society.
Unfortunately, 50 years later, the system appeared to have broken down, and so damaging to the youth it was supposed to be rehabilitating that the California Youth Authority was eliminated and many of its facilities were forced to shut ...

As it was already discussed in Chapter 6, the Juvenile court in the United States is well designed structure that is able to meet the necessities of dealing with the juvenile offenders. It relies mainly on the prevention from committing crimes rather than sentencing and punishing the offenders. The decisions of the court are based on the principle that everything must be done in the child’s interest. There is a substantial group of juvenile offenders who are waived to the adult courts and endure a real trial. A long discussion took place through the years about the waiving ...

The article examines the social construct of the American society and the varying effects of stratified social classes. The author looks at the different experiences that children from both advantaged and disadvantaged families go through as early as the prenatal stages of their lives through to childhood and early adulthood. The article then analyzes the existing disparities that ultimately shape the destiny of these two categories of children.

Child growing up in advantaged family

An advantaged family provides quality prenatal care hence a child receives proper diet, less exposure to toxins and good neonatal health care (Furstenberg "Diverging development”). These positively impact on the cognitive ...

• The findings showed that there is a high correlation existing between religious attendance and mortality risk among the majority of the middle age United States adults (Hummer et al, 2004). In the United States, religious attendance and adult mortality are largely considered a graded fashion among the middle age adults.
• The study suggests that churchgoers have the high likelihood to live longer compared to the non-attendance. The reason behind this is that churchgoers are in a better position of living healthier and much more responsible lives. The non-attendance particularly stand out clearly with a fifty-two percent higher mortality risk ...

There are a number of benefits associated with technology in the life cycle of a human. This is because technology tends to grow with the people as the people’s needs evolve.

It is, therefore, important to identify the different periods in life that individuals use technology in a prevalent way.
The developmental periods are primarily the adolescent period which is characterized by age 13 - 18 and the young adulthood period that spans age 18 – 40 ...

1. Do you think Randy has sufficiently categorized his salespeople for motivational purposes? Why or why not? Is it practicable to provide non-financial incentives to motivate salespeople in each of the four career stage groups?

Categorization of salespeople always involves a trade-off between over-generalization and the practical applicability of these categories for HR strategy development. It is always possible to find additional sub-categories that reflect more precisely the peculiarities of the sales force of a firm or that capture individual needs of the employees. Thus, introducing a separate category for working mothers could help to address the needs of this group in a better way. However, extensive categorization would increase complexity of HR policies and would make it hard to develop and execute an HR strategy in an effective and cost-efficient way. Therefore, the decision of Randy Stuart ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was associated with various behaviors, including violence, impaired emotional regulation, and aggression, which are associated with criminal behavior. It is estimated that TBI affects 8.5 percent of the population, but the highest prevalence of TBI, which can be up to 60 percent, is recorded among prisoners (Williams, 2012). Because TBI is associated with elevating risk factors for offending behaviors, and because it mainly occurs during early stages of life, it is important to investigate clinical implications of treating TBI to reduce criminal behaviors that may be associated with previous brain injuries.

According Boston, Merkel, while professing her incertitude about the ability of Europe to establish a common regulator for ...

Furstenberg analyzes the seemingly unnoticed socially stratified society in modern day America. Through this article, the author looks at the disparity between those in the lower social-economic ranks which he refers to as the disadvantaged families and those who are at the top of the social ladder, which he refers to as the advantaged families. His analysis is centered on the stages of a child’s development from prenatal stage to childhood and ultimately to early adulthood and the different experiences that children from the two family categories have which ultimately determine their position in the social ladder.

I chose this article because it examines the fundamental issues in contemporary society. This is so because it examines the cultural ideologies that degrade the old age in society. These cultural norms are motivated by the media, which attribute the female body with consumer culture. Therefore, society should realize that aging is a sense of maturity and should embrace it as a Self-identities associated to the appearance and performance of the bodies. Similarly, aging should be based on feminist and gender ideologies because it cut across gender, race and class in various societies.

It is important to study about language and verbal behavior because it helps understand other people in a better way. Language or verbal behavior is defined as an operant behavior, which is strengthened by other people’s mediation (Skinner, 1957). This can be well explained as a practical relationship existing between the behavior of a person speaking, as well as the conditions in their environment. However, in this relationship, an important question, on how reinforcement between the speaker and the other people occurs arises.
According to research, it is clear that children acquire a number of language skills mainly without any instructions. ...

Article Summaries

According to Scarr and Richard, the influence of intelligence is due to genetics and environmental variables that are difficult to segregate. Psychologists often argue about the nature and the nurture of genetic variation fixes in the human behavior (Scarr and Richard 262). Some offer that genetic differences are negating to change in behavior. This belief has limitation since it fails to distinguish the environmental and the genetic sources of individual differences in behavior. In this case, one is not in a position to assess the impact of heredity in behavioral domains since all people have a gene complement expressed over development.

We are closing Guantanamo but we refuse to close our own abusive juvenile correctional facilities.

The juvenile-justice crisis in America can be illustrated by the recent Dickens-like scandal uncovered in Pennsylvania, where two judges ruling over juvenile courts were found to be taking kickbacks in exchange for committing thousands of juveniles into privately owned facilities. Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael T. Conahan took over a million dollars each to deliver “justice.” Many children with minor offenses were sentenced for years in private correctional facilities, without legal representation; one child spent a year in a center for stealing a bit of change. It took a constitutional challenge to set him free. Over 5,000 youths were affected by this ...

The greater the depth of composts, the more pronounced were the beneficial effects. Also, it was found that the immature composts, having higher percentages of acetic acid, required less depth of mulch to have the same effect. However, it was noted that the immature compost use would be most suitable where: a) the vegetable crop and the ...
