Youth

The people that youth look up to should send a positive message to the young. They should be concerned about the development of america and the well being of the children that have to grow up in our time of war.

Michael Jordon sends a positive message to kids such as "stay in school" and "dont do drugs". Michael donates a portion of his wealth to all sorts of charities and fund rasers. His work with youth has been improved on by doing disney movies such as "Space Jam". That particular movie didn't promote any drugs or any foul language.

Other celebrities such as Brad Pitt haven't performed in any motion pictures that promote good values that children should live by. Take for example Brad pitts movie "Seven".
Would you want your children to be watching a movie that promotes murder into some sort of masterpiece about the seven deadly sins? Or his movie "Fight Club", would you want yourchildren to watch a movie that promote nothing but fighting and eventual terrorist groups destroying several buildings with Nytro Glycerin?

Children are exposed to all sorts of celebrities, and you as a parent should help them along the way and find one that has set a good example to live by. Children should have a good role model like Michael Jordan who promotes charities and plays in the NBA. The idea of playing in the NBA would make any young child jump for joy at the thought of having the chance one day to do so.  

Celebrities today have a lot to do with the decisions that youth make in today's world. Celebrities should try and set a good example such as Michael Jordan has throughout his career
. The celebrities themselves may not realize it but they do make an impact on the youth of today's modern society. And they should try to set good moral values for them to live by.

Youth Of Today

The Youth Of Today
Submitted by: jayedward19Date Submitted: 07/09/2008Category: Social IssuesWords: 661Pages: 3Views: 2355Popularity Rank: 1694An alarming issue on rapid growth of juvenile delinquency is now striking our society. Youths of today are much influenced by the mass media. Cases of premarital case, unwanted pregnancy, & abortion are just some concrete manifestation and evidences. God has given us the power to fight any kind of temptation, the intellect. Through this, we can discern right and wrong, emphasizing the distinction between them. We are supposed to live up this way but because Satan is wise, he tempts us to do a thing by introducing it to us in very interesting, satisfying & hypnotizing. And as a result, we face grave consequences, physical, mental & spiritual prices to pay often for a lifetime, like heavy responsibilities, humiliation, diseases, bad memories, & unwanted pregnancies. Thus after committing those acts, we realize that having premarital sex or fornication, aswhat the dictionary says, is a sin, mocking God’s plan for a secure marriage, that we should not be easily tempted by what we see, what we hear, & what we feel.
Is Christian sex education the answer to these? Well, according to the columnist, “We believe that a good Christian sex education should be bible-based and Qu’ran-based for the Muslims.” I agree w/ him. The dep-ed should give emphasis on the proper execution of this operation because a wrong interpretation or misunderstanding may result into confusion which may lead into a grave problem, particularly sexual immorality.

Marketing Energy Drinks to Americas Youth

Background:

As I started collecting information for this paper, I soon realized that the energy drink industry is a very small (18 percent) part of the beverage industry, but a very dominant part to say the least.   Interestingly, the major players in the industry, Monster Energy, Red Bull, and Rockstar, have intentionally veered away from the conventional mediums used to promote products.   They instead have chosen marketing mediums that appeal more to their target markets and the “live life on the edge” lifestyles that they live.   Monster for example, shies away from mass market advertising; instead they focus all of their sales efforts and marketing muscle on sponsoring action sports athletes, artists and musical, events and tours.   All of this ties in with the company’s overall philosophy thatMonster isn’t just a beverage, but a lifestyle brand (Landi).   “The key is for us (Monster) to retain what we do best, which is marketing in an unconventional way and keep that feel for the brand,” said Rodney Sacks, CEO of Hansen Natural Corp.   “Monster is all about action sports, punk rock music, partying, girls, and living life on the edge” (Landi).   The companies that produce energy drinks are using the current popularity of action sports such as motocross, skateboarding, BMX, etc., to showcase their products and to further brand awareness.   It’s not coincidental that the demographic that participates in these sports and idolizes its professional athletes are also the same demographic that consumes energy drinks.   You’ll see very few TV commercials or print ads promoting energy drinks but when you turn on the ESPN produced X-Games, just about every athlete participating is sponsored by Red Bull, Monster, or Rockstar.

The Power Of Youth

THE POWER OF YOUTH

There is a great potential in young people. It is like dynamite. Dynamite can do great good when used in the right way. It can pave the way for new buildings, schools, lakes, highways, and numerous other projects which will benefit mankind. In the wrong hands, though, it can be used to take life, often thousands of lives. Young people have the same potential for good or bad.

Adolph Hitler understood the power of young people. After he came to power in Germany in 1932 one of the early actions he took was to outlaw all youth groups, especially the religious ones. In their place he formed the Hitler Youth and the German League of Young Girls. In these organizationsyoung people were taught to revere Hitler and serve him without question. The boys were taught that it would be an honor to lay down their lives for Fatherland and Fuhrer. The girls were taught that it was their duty to bear children and obey the Fuhrer. The youth of Germany were taught that they were the master race and it was their destiny to dominate the world. What happened as a result of Hitler harnessing the power of youth? A significant portion of this generation of German youth committed horrible atrocities in the name of their Fuhrer. In fact, Hitler did such a good job indoctrinating a generation that it was a detachment of Hitler Youth who died in the final battle for Berlin in 1945.

Role Of Youth And Millennium Development Goals : Challenges And Opportunities

    "Role of Youth and Millennium Development Goals : Challenges and Opportunities"

Introduction
Millennium Development Goals   are eight   international development   goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 international or organizations These eight time-bound goals provide concrete, numerical benchmarks for tackling extreme poverty in its many dimensions. They include goals and targets on income poverty, hunger, maternal and child mortality, disease, inadequate shelter, gender inequality, environmental degradation and the Global Partnership for Development.

Adopted by world leaders in the year 2000 and set to be achieved by 2015, the MDGs are both global and local, tailored by each country to suit specific development needs. They provide a framework for the entire international community to work together towards a common end – making sure that human development reaches everyone, everywhere. If these goals are achieved, world poverty willbe cut by half, tens of millions of lives will be saved, and billions more people will have the opportunity to benefit from the global economy.

India have   been positive trends on certain social indicators, particularly those that respond to vertical, campaign-like approaches: the near eradication of polio; a significant increase in literacy rates; and the enrollment of both boys and girls in primary school. However, progress has been slow in areas requiring systemic changes, such as in the provision of good quality services (i.e. primary health care and community-based nutrition services). There has also been limited change in the practice of key behaviours related to child well-being, such as hand washing and exclusive breastfeeding. The HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to spread and poses a significant threat. Issues related to child protection, including trafficking and child labour, are becoming more pronounced.

Role Of Youth In Peace

Mahatma Gandhi used the term “Satyagraha” to refer to a kind of active but absolutely non-violent resistance to oppression. In his words:

“Truth (satya) implies love, and firmness (agraha) engenders and therefore serves as a synonym for force. I thus began to call the Indian movement Satyagraha, that is to say, the Force which is born of Truth and Love or non-violence, and gave up the use of the phrase “passive resistance”, in connection with it, so much so that even in English writing we often avoided it and used instead the word “satyagraha”... [Satyagraha in South Africa, 1926 from Johnson, p. 73., (found on Wikipedia, Satyagraha)]

To counter the hatred which exists on BOTH sides of the Israeli-Palestine conflict I call on all peaceful, freedom loving people to engage in satyagraha to bring a swift end to the violence and guard the dignity for the Palestinian people.

The nine rules of a satyagraha campaign are:

1. harbour no anger

2. suffer the anger of the opponentassaults or punishment; but do not submit, out of fear of punishment or assault, to an order given in anger

4. voluntarily submit to arrest or confiscation of your own property

5. if you are a trustee of property, defend that property (non-violently) from confiscation with your life

6. do not curse or swear

7. do not insult the opponent

8. neither salute nor insult the flag of your opponent or your opponent’s leaders

9. if anyone attempts to insult or assault your opponent, defend your opponent (non-violently) with your life

10. as a prisoner, behave courteously and obey prison regulations (except any that are contrary to self-respect)

11. as a prisoner, do not ask for special favourable treatment

12. as a prisoner, do not fast in an attempt to gain conveniences whose deprivation does not involve any injury to your self-respect

13. joyfully obey the orders of the leaders of the civil disobedience action


3. never retaliate to

"AIDS AND ROLE OF YOUTHS TO CREATE AWARNESS ABOUT AIDS AMONG PEOPLE"

most commonly AIDS is called as silent killer, The main reason for AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) is HIV (Human Immuno Defiency virus).   when this virus   enters our body, immediately changes into RNA, and then spreads quickly. After that it starts to destroy the white blood corpuscles. Because of this our resistance towards diseases gets decreased.

actually thr is an difference between aids and hiv..that is, the final stage of the hiv virus is called aids,at this stage the human body cannot withstand even an ordinary cold.

In the year 1996 according to the survey, about 5000 persons per day were affected by AIDS in the whole world.
In 1996, it was also discovered that the virus can be controlled to a certain extent.
The survey in 2002, says that about 3.97 millions of people are suffering from this disease in India.

Role Of Youth

A Jew and a Muslim were involved in a dispute. They took their case to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him and his family).  The Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family) ruled in favor of the Jew. The Muslim, who in reality was a hypocrite, was dissatisfied with the Holy Prophet 's (Peace be upon him and his family) ruling and decided to go to Umar (may Allah be well pleased with him) who was known for his harshness against the disbelievers. The hypocrite (munaafiq) thought that definitely Umar would not rule in favor of a Jew against a Muslim. Since unfortunately when Allah takes away Faith (Iman), He also takes away intelligence. The Hypocrite who lost his case in the Supreme Court goes to appeal in the Lower Court. When they went to Umar and explained the situation to him and how the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him and his family) had already ruled in favor of the Jew, Umar made his decision. Umar's insight (firaasa) and the fact that the case was brought to him after the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon

How Media is affecting today ‘s youth with sex Mass Media plays an important role in socialization , social development and acquisition of cultural and social norms of a person . It has become an important socialization agency in determining the attitudes of young people from different countries , races and the like . And among the mass media , television is said to be with the greatest potential for transmitting information and beliefs from one group to another (Wimmer ,1997 , p .484 ) It has undeniably taken all other mediums of communication in reaching and influencing people . It has offered the novel concept of “being there , of immediacy which gives telecasts authority and significance possessed by no other medium of communications .Through continuous innovation in television programming , people learned to appreciate what has been shown in their TV screens what is obviously shown and eventually lead to imitation and social influence when dealing with other people .All of this means that under certain conditions TV will be an influential force in shaping what children think about certain topics .Complicated though the task is , some researchers have identified some of the conditions , the topics , and the children to which the social learning theory applies . Moreover , they have specified some of the effects that may result when television does the socializing (Dominic ,1996 .p528 ) For some people they think TVs are heaven sent and is one of the best human achievements , but things we see on them may have corrupted our society or has it benefited us . One good theory on this topic is the Social Learning Theory by A . Bandura where he considers vicarious experience to be the typical way that human beings change . He believes that the ability to use symbols sets humans apart from the limited stimulus-response world of animals . “Humans don ‘t just depend to stimuli , they interpret them ‘ He says that learning through modeling is more a matter of abstracting rules than mimicry . It is not simply “monkey see , monkey do ‘ Concerned with mass communication , Bandura used the theory to explain media specifically the effects of the television . He believed that it is a major source of behavior modeling and through this medium one can acquire attitudes , emotional responses ,and new styles of conduct (Bandura 1972 ) There is reason to believe that media presentations including those adult and other entertainment programs are important sources of information on topics such as occupations , crime , law enforcement ,alcohol and drug usage , the environment and the minorities . Many people believe that media can be both the cause and solution to problems regarding behaviors and prejudice , sex intolerance and violence which are significant problems in the youth of today .The young viewers tend to have more faith in the television version of reality and believe that what they see on television is the manifestation of reality . As they were heavily exposed to the show , they create in themselves attributes presented by the television shows being watched .
