Youth Culture v. Youth Market, 2005.
An analysis of the youth culture versus the youth market in the music and clothing industries.

Abstract
This paper discusses the youth market and the youth culture as a separate entity within the overall demographic of the U.S. The paper pays particular attention to the integration of the music and clothing industry and who these industries have become associated in the minds of the youth as being consistent with their culture and self expression.
From the Paper
" Youth Culture v. Youth Market The concept of youth culture as a separate entity within the broader demographic of the U.S. population is tenuous at best because it shifts constantly from one point to another. At times various groups co-opt what they perceive to be youth culture for their own unique and idiosyncratic purposes: "Through magazines, music, sit-com style videos, cartoons, and other media, Focus strives to construct an alternative Christian youth culture that mirrors secular culture's style and consumption habits" (Hendershot, 1995, para.5). Just as likely is the current trend in Hip-Hop to turn its primary audience; a grand collage of youth from across the various demographics making up the U.S. population, into one conceptual body comprising a unique youth culture all its own (Taylor & Taylor, 2004)."

Abstract
The paper looks at the history of toys and examines what toys children like today. The paper explains that toys were originally associated with the amusement of adults. The paper is set up as a research study that uses two informants as subjects of study. Each subject was asked to bring their favourite toy with them to the interview where data was collected.
From the Paper
"Toys were originally associated with the amusement of adults (Grossman, 1999). However, according to some researchers, in the 19th century, toys became strongly linked to the lives of children due in part to the industrial revolution and the increase in the standard of living. In the 1800's kids who lived in rural areas had very little time for play. Most of these children spent long hours working on the family farm. When given the time, children played with pieces of string, bits of wood, corncobs, old wagon wheels, or whatever else was available (Grossman, 1999)."

This paper is a literature review of youth gangs in schools, focusing on a historical overview, characteristics and traits of youth gang members and prevention of youth gang membership and activity.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although youth gang activities in schools continue to increase, intensify and spread to small towns and rural areas, youth gangs are not new. The author believes that,when institutions and moral visions fail, then individuals will try to manufacture structures to replace them; in the case of youth gangs, the creators of these structures are young people, with little experience of the world and little knowledge of alternatives. This paper points out that a common sign of gang activity moving into the neighborhood or into the region of the school is graffiti, which is one of the most common ways for gangs to communicate, identify their turf, issue challenges and attract other adherents.

Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
"This is an important historical development, representing the extension of gang behavior and gang culture into new regions of the country and with new styles. While the gangs may have begun in imitation of such gangs as the Crips and Bloods, and may still wear typical gang clothing and paraphernalia, they are more of an organization of those youth who are prone to violence and delinquent behavior than they are instances of ethnic turf battles. Again, another movie might be helpful in thinking about these kinds of gangs. The movie Grease portrayed a certain class of young teen-agers who had clothing, culture, and behaviors in common. Yet, they were not seen as youth gangs, but as a faction or clique within the overall high school environment. In 1999, however, these greasers are more likely to be organized into youth gangs of the type identified in Puyallup. They have borrowed some of the behavior and culture from the urban gangs, become more organized, and engaged in more conflict between groups. They tend to harass and intimidate the other students."

Abstract
This paper presents a SWOTT analysis for SmarterKids and Walmart Toys, two children?s toy Internet retailers. The author feels that the strength of SmarterKids is their unique strategy focusing specifically on providing toys that help children learn. The author feels that one of the strengths of Walmart Toys is the reputation of the ?brick and motar? Walmart itself.
From the Paper
"With the rise of the dual-income family, the traditional mother role is not often present, with parents instead juggling work and career. This creates an opportunity to respond to a new market of parents who are specifically seeking toys that help their children learn. If this learning combines play and learning time, the parent has effectively made better use of their time."

Toy Guns, 2003.
A discussion of the danger of toy guns, the effect they have on children, their involvement in crimes, cases of mistaken identity, and laws involving toy guns.
854 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes how toy guns are becoming a danger to society because of their similarities to real guns; some are so realistic that even police officers cannot tell the difference. It shows how many people, including children, die as a result of these cases of mistaken identity and how, by being allowed to play with toy guns, children get the impression that they are acceptable, which can lead to aggressive behavior and a careless attitude toward real weapons. It looks at how New York City lawmakers are seeking approval for a bill that would potentially ban the sale of toy guns altogether.
From the Paper
"It is a parent?s job to teach their children about gun safety. Kids learn just about everything from their parents, including their views on gun use. Allowing them to play with toy guns is sending them the message that toy guns are OK, when, in fact, they are not. Children may not even know that guns are dangerous because they are sold as toys. In addition to creating a generation largely unafraid of guns, ?some studies have linked toy gun play with aggressive behavior, and some child health professionals counsel families to limit this type of activity? (Collins 1). Children are already confusing toy guns with real guns, leading to serious injury to both the child and others and when playing, they are in effect practicing to shoot a gun."

Abstract
This paper describes peer-to-peer youth program, which is designed to provide disadvantaged youth with opportunities to acquire basic educational and life skills that will promote success at a difficult stage of life. The author points out that the program will pair a high school senior with an adolescent aged 13-16 for a 90-minute period every other week. The paper relates that the education component offers students basic study skills, test-taking strategies and tutoring if the peer leader is knowledgeable in the subject matter.
From the Paper
"Today's youth face many difficult challenges as they attempt to seek support for their problems. Peer-to-peer counseling has been known to provide an effective means by which young people may express any personal or academic concerns that they might have. The proposed program will provide peer-to-peer interaction for disadvantaged individuals aged 13-16 who are in need of additional support at a particularly vulnerable stage of life. High school seniors will serve as peer leaders, and they will also provide their younger counterparts with basic skills and training, divided into two primary components: Education and Life Skills. The education component offers students basic study skills, test-taking strategies, and tutoring if the peer leader is knowledgeable in the subject matter. "

Abstract
This paper presents an insight into the Nazi youth movement and illustrates how these children were used by the German military machine. The paper describes how the youth were initially lured into joining Hitler's youth movement and, ultimately, forced by law to join. The paper discusses the role played by the youth in the war.
Outline
Introduction
When Did the Movement Evolve and Why?
Youth Group History
What Was Hitler?s Involvement?
How Did They Lure in the Youth?
Who Ran the Clubs?
What Role Did the Youth Play in the War?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In hindsight, we now know that Hitler was obviously not thinking of the young German children as he suggested but instead he was focused on an objective of achieving the ultimate power for himself and his supporters. With all that power in his hands, one question comes to mind in regard to the Hitler Youths: Did Adolf Hitler actually control the Nazi youth movement? Because Adolf Hitler is considered today as having been an absolute ruler or tyrant over the Nazi Party and the German People, it is hard to imagine that he did not institute the programs that led to the youth movement."
