Abstract
Recent studies reveal the significance of parenting in the cross-generational transmission of aggressive or problem behavior up to three continuous generations. Stable evidence has long recognized and documented the negative effects of aggressive or harsh and inconsistent parenting and identified the need for interventions that would foster better parenting skills. These findings provide the direct link between the incidence of child abuse and the emergence of problem behavior later in life. This paper shows that, while child abuse occurs in all social, ethnic, and income groups, it is most common among poor, under-educated, and dysfunctional families and committed mostly by parents themselves who are young, unmarried or separated, lonely, and coping with life?s stresses. This paper inquires into and understands the details that link child abuse with the development of problem behavior and what approaches can be made in addressing this reality.

"Another study offered evidence of this intergenerational continuity (Conger 2003) wherein aggression in youth is often followed by aggressive parenting and that kind of parenting, in turn, appears to contribute to aggression in children. This particular study expounded on the utter significance of parenting in the intergenerational transmission of antisocial or problem behavior, as previous findings already documented, and how normative approval of aggression, aggressive fantasies and verbal aggression maintain aggressive behavior through time."

From the Paper
"Detention centers and residential treatment facilities are replete with male and female youth that have been in and out of the juvenile justice system for many years. Although the majority of the populations in these facilities are male, the number of female juvenile offenders is continually increasing. Many of the children in these facilities have a history of behavioral difficulties that may or may not have been diagnosed during much of their childhood."

From the Paper
"The report entitled Sexual Behavior in the Human Female is the result of research conducted by a number of scientists. This report was the second, after the volume on male sexual behavior, in a projected series. Like the first book the present volume is often referred to by the phrase the "Kinsey Report," after the originator of the project, and its lead researcher, Dr. Alfred Kinsey, a biologist from Indiana University. On being asked by the University to teach a course in sex education Kinsey was shocked to discover the near complete lack of reliable information on the subject. An entomologist by training, Kinsey found that the few available studies of the subject of sexual behavior "lacked the statistical validity [he] deemed essential" and so he began to conduct his own interviews (Brecher 112). Kinsey began his research with the decision that because so much..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that social workers encounter a large number of people who have been marginalized in society, people who are formed by degrees of oppression and who must cope with the results of oppression in their lives every day. The writer notes that recognizing the source of oppression is a good beginning, and when the social worker cannot change the nature of the oppression because it is too widespread and too firmly entrenched, the goal would be to help the client cope. The writer concludes that the degree of oppression faced by a family should certainly not be increased by oppressive social work practices, and to the degree possible, social work should reduce oppression and not add to it.
From the Paper
"One area of social work and oppression that has been given much attention involves the population of women, with part of the criticism deriving from more general issues of discrimination against women. This became evident in the 1980s, especially to feminist social workers. The women's movement emerged alongside social work and was shown to be increasingly critical of its narrow analytic framework and its restricted approach to practice. At the time, the radical social work movement was male-dominated and was also often insensitive to some of the basic realities of the world of social work, such as the fact that the large majority of both clients and workers are women."

Abstract
The following assignment is for a third year sociology course. The topic discussed is collective social behaviour. The collective social behavior examined in this assignment is anti-war demonstrations. The writer uses social contagion theory and emergent norm theory in order to examine the nature of anti-war demonstrations.
From the Paper
"Collective behavior is a very broad area of study. For example, in Collective Behavior Erich Goode states, 'Rumors and legends, fads, and collective protest- these and other social phenomena make up the subject matter of the field of collective Behavior'. Collective behavior is the relatively spontaneous, unstructured, extra institutional behavior of a fairly large number of individuals. The fact that collective behavior is such a diverse area of study means that many activities can be used to examine it. For this paper, demonstrations against the war in Iraq or anti-war demonstrations as they are commonly called will be used to examine many of the theories about collective behavior."

Abstract
A report based on a study conducted into the association between substance abuse behavior and antisocial behavior. The paper reviews the results from a sample of 72 adolescent males remanded to a residential treatment facility in Delaware. Conclusions drawn include that juvenile crime is prevalent in our society and that it is increasing and that substance abuse is a strong component in the commission of juvenile crime.
From the Paper
"While the reviewed literature indicates a connection between antisocial behavior and substance abuse that may be the result of personality, genetics, and demographic factors, it is important to evaluate the general quality of the existing studies in order to determine how much confidence to place in these findings. In this regard, there are some problems."

Abstract
This study uses content analysis to examine adolescent television drama program behavior as compared to actual adolescent behavioral statistics from the National Center for Health Statistics. Issues of sexual behavior, alcohol usage and drug usage were analyzed. This work contributes to cultivation theory; the culmination of similar messages on fictional adolescent television drama programs re-enforces impressions that are not based on reality.
From the Paper
"Media can be described in many ways and forms. It is the dissemination of news, events, and information as well as a portrayal of America. It contains movies, sitcoms, dramas, comedies, news, and world events that all shape our reality of what the world is. Television more specifically is so popular because its function is to be a mirrored image of what America is, its beliefs, and ideas. Because it performs this function, it is considered entertainment. This industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that centers around two words: money and people. It does not necessarily have to be accurate for people to believe it. People will believe what they find to be interesting whether it is true or not, based upon no actual proof. This is why the media can get away with straying from the truth, because people do not care whether what they absorb is true. Truth is a very powerful concept that most people take too lightly. Most people will not admit that what they watch on television, hear on the radio, or read in the newspaper affects them. However, it has been proven through the cultivation theory that this effect is present, it does occur, and it subsequently affects the way a country perceives itself. This is how the media ultimately controls the power of thought."

"THE EFFECTS OF TELEVISION VIOLENCE ON CHILD BEHAVIOR: SUMMARY
This study examined the relationship between viewing by children of television programming with violent content and manifestations of violent or aggressive behavioral tendencies by children. This study is important because criminal activity generally and violent behavior particularly committed by children in the United States is increasing as the overall rates of both violent and non-violent crime in this country are declining to some extent.
Social learning theory is posited as the way in which viewing violent programming on television is translated into violent behavior by children. Children begin to imitate adult behaviors at the earliest ages. The ability to imitate behavior is both useful and necessary for child development. While.."

Abstract
Anti-social personality disorder is defined as ?a psychiatric condition characterized by chronic behavior that manipulates, exploits, or violates the rights of others. This behavior is often criminal.? (A.D.A.M., 2003). Another source describes adds that individuals with anti-social personality disorder violate the rights of others ?without remorse or loyalty to anyone? (Butcher, Mineka, & Hooley, 2004). The causes of anti-social personality disorder are not known, though many sources have provided theories that can be used to explain the development of the disorder. Two of these theories are considered in this paper. It begins with a consideration of Sigmund Freud?s theory and then looks at the theory of Albert Skinner. In each case, the theory is first described. This is followed by a consideration of how an individual would develop anti-social personality disorder based on the theory.
From the Paper
"In Freud?s theory, the focus is on the subconscious mind. Freud?s theory describes how every individual is born with a basic set of desires, which he calls the id. These are essentially selfish drives. Individuals then develops an ego, which works to control the id. As one source explains, the ego?s function involves ?seeking optimal compromises between the demands of biology and those of the real world" (Seamon & Kenrick, 1994, p. 421). The next stage of development is the superego, which is described as being developed at around age five. One source describes both the superego and its development saying, ?young children form a superego, or conscience, by identifying with the same-sex parent, whose moral standards they adopt? (Berk, 2004, p. 253). These three parts of the subconscious then combine and interact with the outside environment. This means that an individual determines their behavior based on both the subconscious and the demands of the outside world."

Introduction
Gang Overview
Female Gangs
Differences in Behaviors Between Male and Female Gangs
Female Gangs: Still a Cause for Social Concern
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Early on, sociologists and the media portrayed gangs as groups of deviants who were not clearly in violation of any laws, but were considered to be in violation of folkways. However, today the term "gang" conjures entirely different images. Instead of a group of boys hanging out on a corner, gangs today bring forth images of lawless groups, images that cause people to feel angry or fearful. Today, gangs are most often thought to be involved in violent crime and drug-related activities. "In other words, gangs have become to be viewed as groups of individuals involved in illicit or illegal drug-dealing accompanied by violence" ("Youth gang", n.d.)."

Poverty and Single African-American Females, 2002.
A literature review on the social problem of poverty and single African-American females.

Abstract
This paper examines how single African-American females are a major constituent of poverty in America and how many of the children living in poverty in America are the children of African-American families headed by single females. Through a literature review, it examines the rising poverty rate for single African American females even though general the poverty rate among African-Americans seems to be declining. It discusses how this can be attributed to the disparity between wages for men and women and how many families headed by a single female are entitled to child support but do not receive it. It also looks at the influence of geographical location and the direct problem of black children living under the poverty line.
From the Paper
"While the above statistics suggest poverty among Blacks is declining, 47.5 percent of families headed by single African American mothers had incomes below the poverty line; more than half of families headed by single African American women were poor; single-mother African American families experienced poverty at a rate dramatically higher than married-couple or single-father families; and in 1998, the poverty rate among single-mother African American families with children was five times higher than that of families headed by married couples (Center analysis, 1998). One reason for this is thought to be the disparity between wages for men and women, and another is the fact that many families headed by a single female are entitled to child support but do not receive it (Center analysis, 1998)."

Abstract
This research will examine the influence of social norms on the participation of females in athletic activity. The research will examine studies showing how strongly social expectations and socially determined sex roles limit participation of adolescent and adult females in physical activity, and then discuss ways in which cultural pressures are reflected in female-student behavior in elementary school physical-education classes and school-recess activities.
From the Paper
"Introduction
This research will examine the influence of social norms on the participation of females in athletic activity. The research will examine studies showing how strongly social expectations and socially determined sex roles limit participation of adolescent and adult females in physical activity, and then discuss ways in which cultural pressures are reflected in female-student behavior in elementary school physical-education classes and school-recess activities. Based on this research and on observations of behavior at an elementary school, this study will suggest possible changes in the physical education curriculum that can encourage activity for girls and help them connect it to positive social experience."

Abstract
This paper uses the characters of Janie from "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston and Rigoberta Menchu? from her autobiography, "I, Rigoberta Menchu? An Indian Woman in Guatemala," to discuss the portrayal of strong, ethnic females in literature.
From the Paper
"The protagonist in Their Eyes decides to thwart conventional thinking and strike out on her own, seeking approval from herself. Janie decides that she is not content with a loveless marriage. She internally feels that the only true way to live is to live a life filled with love. Disenchanted with her state of affairs, she seeks ?confirmation of the voice and vision? (Hurston 15) and wants to find the ?acknowledged answers? (Hurston 16) to the questions she has inside. The decision to not be satisfied with status quo definitely aids Janie in the exploration of her purpose on earth. Rigoberta too has a decision to make that will transform her life."
