Abstract
The paper uses sociocultural theory and social cognitive theory to analyze how learning is influenced by universal principles for young adults. The paper relates that the period of young adulthood is characterized in detail as a time with urgent requirements. The paper discusses aspects of each theory relevant to learning for young adults along with key universal principles which correspond to the aspects. Furthermore, the paper combines common points within both theories to elucidate a syncretic theoretical version which could be used in analyzing and aiding in the creation of enhanced learning strategies for young adults. The paper reaches the conclusion that this objective is indeed a moral and ethical imperative.

Abstract
The paper looks at an article by Richard MacClure et al (2003) entitled, "Young Offender Diversion in Canada: Tensions and Contradictions of Social Policy Appropriation." As time permits, the writer argues that, while well-intentioned, MacClure and his colleagues have produced a deeply-flawed work inasmuch as the methodology is far too narrow for the question being pursued, the focus appears to be somewhat unclear (chiefly owing to the title) and the interview itself invites concerns about bias and about how truthful the respondents really were in answering the queries of the scholars. The writer reaches the conclusion that the article suffers because its methodology is simply far too superficial and limited.

Abstract
This paper examines Hawthorne's own life and Puritanical beliefs exhibited in his novel "Young Goodman Brown." It provides detailed biographical information on the author's life and analyzes the faith and nature of his religious perspective. The paper is loaded with quotes from the novel in support of analytical literary assessments.

From the Paper
"Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in Salem Massachusetts on July 4, 1804. Hawthorne had two sisters, Elizabeth and Louisa. He grew up with great access to the classics of English literature, as he injured his foot at age nine and couldn't play outside for two years. In 1808, his father passed away, and in 1816, his family moved to Raymond, Maine, in a house on Lake Sebago. This provided Hawthorne with much solitude, which he cherished, for three years (Martin 5). In 1819, his mother sent him back to Salem to go to school. It was at this time that he began to write poetry. He also became a bookkeeper for his Uncle William. Hawthorne entered Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Mass., in 1821, and was the first of his family to attend college. He didn't know what he wanted to be, however."

From the Paper
"Posting flyers at schools and Mass targeted mailings at unsubscribed students can be used to further market the YPRC in order to supplement station purchases (which provide 97% of sales). Other mediums used in the past are phone orders and travel agents. Digital media such as the internet, traditional radio, satellite radio etc will also play a vital role in the marketing campaign. This would include search engine promotion of the Young Persons Railcard website, search engine optimization (SE0), article publication, banner ads, newsletters, email marketing, newsletters, radio ads, etc..

Abstract
This paper discusses the problem that young people face in becoming financially independent when they leave their parents' home. The writer explains that most young adults are more interested in having fun than in acquiring skills that will enable them to cope with increased financial responsibility, such as taking student loans, managing credit cards, signing leases and budgeting expenses. Further, a significant majority of college graduates aim for starting careers in metro areas, which have higher housing costs, and frequently are uninsured. The paper concludes that it is clear that young adults should concentrate on getting a job that offers suitable insurance policies, since this can go a long way in terms of helping them eventually in acquiring financial stability.

Conclusion(s)

From the Paper
"The issue of finding suitable employment with regards to the long-term scenario however, though not impossible, is rather problematic, especially when considering that the typical psychological traits found in young adults from the age group of roughly 19 to 29 has them focusing more on entertainment and fun rather than contemplating their future financial stability. Such things as investments and savings for the college educations for the kids they might have and the retirements they may avail are things that tend to be of a rather low priority as far as the majority of young adults are concerned."

Abstract
This paper examines how Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" details the temptation and eventual disillusionment of a young Puritan man, who, when confronted with the massive possible hypocrisy of the community in which he lives, is unable to adapt successfully to a portrait of the world that does not live up to his romantic ideals. It looks at how Hawthorne weaves enough structural ambiguity into the story to make it unclear for both the reader and for Brown just what the actual reality is and how, at its conclusion, we are left to a realm of unknowns and suspicion as much as he is. It shows how, ultimately, the story of "Young Goodman Brown" is the story of a young man who, once his romantic ideals about the world are tested, lapses instead into a cynicism and frustration that represents the completely opposite end of the spectrum.

From the Paper
"Nathaniel Hawthorne's Story "Young Goodman Brown" opens with a brief exchange between Young Goodman Brown and his wife, Faith, whose very name points to an obvious symbolic dimension of her character in the story. We discover quickly in their exchange of dialogue that they are newlyweds, very much in love. Indeed, the fact that they are newly married, as well as the title of "young" that precedes Goodman Brown's name all inform us that the are both new to the world of independent experience, that the still possess many romantic illusions about life, and that they are generally inexperienced. Yet, at their otherwise sweet parting, there is a strangeness. Faith asks her husband not to depart on his unspecified errand and suggests that she has had some sort of premonition, a premonition that Young Goodman Brown himself seems to share."
