Abstract
This paper provides a summary of the relevant literature to identify a best practices approach to a wide range of social issues confronting the nation's youth today, including pregnancies, drugs and alcohol, relationships, education and more.
From the Paper
"The multiple personal and social implications related to teen pregnancies are well documented. Babies born to teen mothers are at increased risk of developing physical, social, and cognitive problems and deficiencies. Teenage mothers do not acquire as much education as teens who delay childbearing; therefore, they are less likely to find stable employment and more likely to rely on public assistance, thus perpetuating the cycle of poverty. In fact, one half of teen mothers go on welfare within a year, and 77% within five years (Moore & Rodriguez 1995). Despite what teens may hear about the effectiveness of one birth control method over another, experience has shown time and again that the only absolutely 100 percent, sure-fire method of avoiding unwanted pregnancies is to abstain from sexual intercourse - that is the bottom-line."

Abstract
In this article, the writer firstly critically analyses the health and well being outcomes for young people leaving care; addressing the areas of mental health, physical and learning disabilities. Secondly a critical evaluation of both national and specific LAC focused health promotion strategies is discussed and the impact of these on the young person's journey through care is provided, with particular attention paid to young people affected by disability and mental health problems. Throughout the essay an awareness of oppressive and discriminatory practices is demonstrated.
From the Paper
"As mentioned earlier, mental health problems are very prominent in care leavers. Once a young person reaches 18 years of age, there are often problems with accessing adult services. Young people with mental health problems can find it very difficult when they become care leavers. Mental health issues are sometimes left undiagnosed in looked after young people as doctors and psychologists sometimes feel that they do not want to "label" young people. This could be because there is still a stigma attached to having a mental health issue. However, on the opposite side of this, if a mental health issue is not diagnosed then resources are not made available to the young people when they may need them in order to lead a full and health life. Another difficulty for care leavers who move on to adult services, is that they may forget appointments and no-one is there to remind them or take them to appointments, this means that the young person is not receiving the care and support they may need."

Successful Social Programs, 2008.
This paper looks at L. Schorr's ideas in "Common Purpose: Stengthening Families and Neighborhoods to Rebuild America," about effective social programs in light of the government's response to Hurricane Katrina.

Abstract
The paper explains Schorr's belief that when committed workers strive to meet their objectives regardless of the obstacles and provide services that are specific to the population, they will be successful. The paper applies this to the situation of New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina and the response of the federal government to aid the citizens of the city. The paper discusses how the government developed a plan of action that was procedurally correct, but that did not consider the full depth of issues that were affecting the people, effectively ignoring the original goal of rebuilding once monetary support was created. The paper shows how the situation has led to public unrest and a multitude of failed programs that serve no one.
From the Paper
"Schorr (1997), author of Common purpose: Stengthening families and neighborhoods to rebuild America, discusses the issue of societal programs and the factors that must be addressed in order for those programs to be successful. Schorr (1997) includes in the work two ideas that are significant in the strength of community programs. First, Schorr (1997) challenges readers to consider the concept that "successful programs deal with families as part of neighborhoods and communities" (p. 7). Second, Schorr (1997) contends that programs that thrive have workers that are committed to the people that they serve and the founding purpose of the program (p. 2). These two issues are important because they call on society to reflect on the function of community based programs and the reason that those programs were initially created."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the physiological effects of participation by young people in organized athletics. The focus of the report will be directed primarily to analyzing and comparing the dangers of football and soccer, two of the most popular sports in the grade and high schools.
njuries incurred on the field of play have been common since the ancient Greeks refined the art of athletic contests and competition. Today the problem of physical impairment from athletics has taken on a new, much more formidable dimension in the United States because of the tremendous growth of participatory sports. The availability of equipment, facilities, and organization--there are now thousands of scholastic and community-run leagues--as well as the compulsion to keep the body ... "

From the Paper
In today?s society it has become necessary for the criminal justice system to attempt to employ mores alternatives to the traditional prosecution of cases. It was from this need that Diversion Programs were born. These programs were set up to benefit both the offender and the criminal justice system.
There are several benefits for offenders that these diversion programs offer. It allows an eligible offender to be quickly evaluated and have intervention proceed. After identified as an eligible offender, personalized help can be offered. Help such as drug and alcohol counseling, medical care and different forms of education. Diversion also lessens the trauma to the offender, from an emotional and economic point of view, due to facing possible criminal prosecution. As a whole, these programs give offenders an opportunity to be diverted out of the criminal justice system and get a second chance to redeem themselves.

From the Paper
"Thesis Statement: Toward a More Egalitarian Church
One of the most important questions that any religion must ask of itself is how it will appeal to each new generation, for a religion that cannot enlist the children of its members to follow on in its teachings will become a dead religion, no matter how true its doctrine may be. Some faiths ? such as the Shakers ? have staked their institutional lives on being able to recruit entirely new generations simply by the power of their doctrine and liturgy and have failed to do so in part because their vows of celibacy forbade them access to the most natural body of followers that most generations have ? the children of the members.
So how may the Catholic Church find a way to involve young people more closely in the formal practices of the church? What is the..."

From the Paper
"There has been a dramatic increase in violent crime among youth in recent years. Random, unprovoked attacks by adolescents, known as "wildings," have become increasingly common in large urban centers such as New York. In addition, there has been a rise in the number of young people who kill. According to FBI statistics, the arrests of murderers under the age of eighteen increased by more than 20 percent during the 1980's, even though the population of American teens decreased by 2 percent during the same period (Toufexis, 1989, p. 52). Killings by young people are often brutal and compassionless. In addition, the murders are often committed over trivial things, "like a pair of sneakers, a fancy shirt, or a bit of loose change" (Kramer, 1988, p. 7). Reported incidents have included such situations as drive-by shootings, shootings of friends, and..."

Guns Kill People or do People Kill People?, 2002.

Abstract
In this study on gun control, particularly in the United States, the writer explores both sides of the issue from a political as well as a moral standpoint. The writer works to present fair presentation for both sides and then draws it all together in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"As the world moves into the future it takes with it lessons of the past. Gun control is an issue that is not black and white. Those who oppose it do so for many reasons and those who support it claim to do so for the same. Gun control is not a one shot deal either. If gun control is enacted there are many options with which the bill can be written into law and fine-tuned for the individual needs or desires of that state. There will probably come a time in which the United States Supreme Court will have to decide what the constitutional authors meant when they penned the second amendment. Until then it is a stand still with both sides taking aim at the other."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the combination of our social selves and our socialization into the society of our birth and development. The paper looks at the ideas of how we develop a social self, how society plays a huge role in this process and how these two become interlinked in our personality. The paper concludes that our social selves become a central aspect of how we are.
From the Paper
"Human beings are born with an ability or nature to become social beings and if the child is raised typically they will develop their social self, or become a part of society in one facet or another. This social self is developed as the child begins to feel emotions and correspond these same emotions to the selves they recognize as their parents or guardians. From these insights, it is important to then consider the impact that this has upon the type of person which we become."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although a child?s family is the most influential force in a child?s social development, environmental factors, such as friends, school, church, and other social organizations, also have an effect on socialization. The author describes many types of social organizations, including fraternities and sororities, religious groups, fine arts groups, and sports groups, whose members share similar goals and interests and play a role in the socialization process. The paper states that what makes us human is our ability to pick up societal norms and social cues from people and things that exists outside the boundaries of the immediate family.

From the Paper
"Religious groups are also important social organizations that aid in the development of socialization process. Social organizations that have a specific religion at the core can include; a church, mosque or temple, or a gospel choir. Membership to these religious groups allows individuals with the same belief systems to come together to worship and form friendships. The purpose of these groups is to strengthen the faith of members. This strengthening may be accomplished through mentorship, guidance and increased knowledge of the standards of the faith. Religious groups also provide individuals with a support system, which aids in the process of socialization."
