Abstract
The paper relates that children are hurt in today's global world and often little is being done to prevent the problems created by a global world. The paper looks at extreme problems of poverty, war, or trafficking as well as the common problem of social deprivation faced by children of parents who work full-time in America. The paper discusses how children in the United States must be protected from abuse in their homes. The paper states that children are the future and if they are not protected there will be no future.
From the Paper
"Should Americans be more concerned about children? How is globalization affecting children in America? How does it affect children in other countries? Should Americans be concerned about social reproduction in the lives of children? These are important questions. These topics have been discussed in class, yet does any one truly understand the problems children are having not only in other countries, but also here in America? Looking at the agenda of child concern will show that globalization is affecting social reproduction in America. Social deprivation is a problem beginning in day care and continuing until they are adults. Children who work in other countries where poverty is an issue are actually given better care than children of parents who work full-time in America. Considering what has been taught in class and research will show that as students more concern must be given to children to prevent problems in their futures."

Teachers' Attitudes Towards Gay Students, 2006.
A discussion of the attitude of Roman Catholic school teachers and their approach to their homosexual students.
1,015 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the role of the Roman Catholic school teacher in the life of the young gay student by reviewing three books on this topic: "Educating for Life - a Spiritual Vision for Every Teacher and Parent" by Thomas Groome, "Fully Alive - a Family Life Education Program" by Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops and " The Courage to Teach - Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life" by Parker Palmer. The paper discusses how a teacher needs to appreciate a gay student as someone who may struggle with a sense of being different, help the child to speak openly about worries, and be able to answer questions a child may have concerning this special status and Church teachings. The writer notes that many teachers do not know that the Roman Catholic schools accept gay or lesbian students as people to be helped in their adjustments, understood for what may be greater depression or confusion as part of adolescence, and given the same message as other students to do with sexuality and chastity. The writer points out that there are prejudices about homosexuality in the minds of various people who believe they are good Catholics. The writer concludes that teachers and parents need to be educated about the Roman Catholic stand on homosexuality and be able to interpret this to the child.
From the Paper
"Parker J. Palmer's volume, The Courage to Teach - Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life, directs an open heart as the way to effective teaching. (1998) Particularly interesting has been Palmer's view of the teacher as a person who must learn from others, the heart gaining from what may not conform with one's views. This seems important in a parochial school setting if one is to respond to students who do not fit with Roman Catholic ideas of normal childhood. For instance, the Roman Catholic view of homosexuality involves awareness of gay students that will be met in parochial schools. This issue will challenge some teachers to examine their opinions and biases to do with homosexuality, at large, because the teacher must be able to provide what a gay student needs within school settings."

"There Are No Children Here", 2008.
A review of "There Are No Children Here" by Alex Kotlowitz.
995 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at how Alex Kotlowitz, in "There Are No Children Here", explores the inner-city decay and want which dooms many American children. The paper describes the experiences of the two African-American boys in the story who are forced to grow up in Chicago's notorious Henry Horner housing projects. The paper looks at how Kotlowitz portrays the violence and the drug and gang culture of the area. The paper discusses the relevance of this book to community health nursing.
From the Paper
"Having offered a broad overview of the text and a "run-down" of its main themes, the next thing which must be addressed is the issue of bias - often synonymous with "balance" - as it manifests itself in the work. Although it can be overdone, one is left with the distinct impression that Kotlowitz is a liberal at heart; perhaps never is this more apparent then when he discusses a 1955 visit by Soviet officials to the then-fledgling Henry Horner projects. One of the guests, I.V. Kozvilia, Minister of City and Urban Construction in the Soviet Union, denounced the decision of city officials to erect buildings which featured apartment walls of cinder block and not of plaster. The curt response of the Chicago Daily News to the Soviet critique of its low-cost housing was that there was "little use for luxury" in such matters in capitalist America (Kotlowitz, 1987, p.22). One page earlier, Kotlowitz is quite aggressive in chastising a number of 1950s-era aldermen who opposed public housing in Chicago and who orchestrated a number of ploys designed to frustrate the initiative."

Child Witnesses, 2006.
An examination of whether a child should be presumed to be a competent witness.
755 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the practical realities of a child witness. The paper focuses on understanding the "impressionability" of a child, and the child's ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. The paper explains that many states provide procedures to limit the trauma for children, such as testimony by closed-circuit television rather than in-court testimony, although there must be a hearing to determine if these procedures are appropriate. The paper suggests that the courts accept the competence of child accusers, confident that judicial processes can address possible issues of impressionability.
From the Paper
"The legal system does not accept such rules of competence. The key rule of evidence, the Federal Rules of Evidence, states at Rule 601: "General Rule of Competency: Every person is competent to be a witness . . . ." Most states follow this rule, so that no court can categorically bar a witness who is a member of a given class (such as age) without a showing that the individual witness cannot give sound testimony. Federal law is specific. A child is presumed competent. 18 U.S.C. . "

Children Engaging in Society, 2008.
An analysis of the ideologies of children and the roles they play in society.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the specific roles that children play in society. It looks at it through the social constructions people have of children and discusses the way that children affect culture whether it is by advertisements or through the ideologies that children have. The paper also looks at the reasons why children are important in a society.
From the Paper
"More parents must take their ideology even when it is difficult to tell their children no. Children should not be empowered to do whatever they want or to receive all the things they want. Parents must be the dominant ones. The media may use a form of hegemony to get the attention of children, but it is the parents place to refuse their children at times. Parents must be able to take the gazes that their children have and let them know who does have the power. Otherwise, more children will become unproductive adults who have little knowledge of responsibility or how rough life can be. In your family, who has the ideology?"

Abstract
The paper presents a proposal that seeks to explore the long-term effects of child abuse in adults. The paper points out that the secondary objective of this study is to arrive at the victims' perspectives on their own experiences and their perception of the abuse's impact on their mental and physical health. The paper then provides a literature review of the mental and physical consequences of child abuse and looks at its cultural dimension. The paper also discusses the proposed methodology for the study.
Outline:
Abstract
Introduction
Literature Review
Method
From the Paper
"The problem of child abuse is a pervasive problem not only for the families and individuals involved, but also a community and social one. In particular, victims of child abuse sometimes become not only perpetrators, but also end up scarred mentally and physically."
"Deterrents to child abuse such as making known to the public that services such as child protection or reporting of suspected cases of child abuse by people that can help recognize signs of ongoing abuse (other than social workers) such as physicians are in place, yet resources to tackle the problem more effectively are lacking (Christian, 2003). All things considered, the solution not only lies in case surveillance, reporting and deterrence, but also in understanding the effects of child abuse in adults."

Media Censorship, 2007.
This paper argues that the current state of knowledge regarding the effects of media depiction of violence on children does not justify censorship of the media.

Abstract
This paper explains that the report of the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, in 1999, paints a dire picture of the levels of violence with which the media was bombarding children. The author points out that this Senate report presents the causal connection between movie and television violence and aggressive behavior in children as a proven conclusion. The paper relates that a review of the underlying data through scientific studies shows that there is considerable doubt as to just how perverse an influence media violence has on children. The author concludes that the inconclusive nature of the data indicates that the American people should be cautious about taking precipitate actions based on this report, and should, at least for now, resist any effort at media censorship.
From the Paper
"Reporting on Professor Eron's original 1960 study of 8 and 9 year olds in Columbia County, New York, Rhodes noted that Eron's and his team investigated a wide range of factors to attempt to measure aggression. Of these, watching violence on television was effectively an afterthought. Further, the data were not consistent: girls who watched television showed no higher levels of aggression, and boys who watched television the most extensively were the least aggressive in the study. In their first follow-up study, Eron and his colleagues did find a statistical correlations between high levels of television watching and aggressive behavior..."

Abstract
This paper relates that this literature review about adolescent smoking indicates the complex socio-cultural context in which personal conceptions arise. The author points out that, among the numerous variables affecting these conceptions are race, ethnicity, socio-cultural expectations, gender, peer group and nicotine. The paper summarizes that this literature review reveals that adolescents' conceptions both deter and encourage smoking. The author reports that all the researchers use quantitative methodologies and interpretive paradigms; however, a major limitation, which is common for all these studies, is that they are based on self-reports.

From the Paper
"Rasmussen-Cruz, Martin & Nuno-Gutierrez's (2006) purpose was to explore tobacco consumption and motives for use among university students. The research question was: why do university health sciences students who are informed about tobacco risks consume tobacco? The design was a basic quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study. The method was an online survey of 282 students, aged 15 to 24. The authors used an interpretive paradigm. The results were that conceptions involved motives such as coping with emotional problems, reported by 76 percent."

Outline:
Abstract
Case Presentation
From the Paper
"Through effective CBT intervention, significant reframing occurred, changing perceptions, thinking and behavior. For example, one goal for CBT with Mary was increase her levels of self-respect and self-esteem, as different from false bravado as a defense mechanism forcing her to act tough and repeat her assaultive behavior patterns."
"Another goal was to effectively deal with her past experiences and leave them in the past rather than continue to relive them in the present. It was believed that this approach would help reduce her dysthymic and conduct disorder symptoms."

The Illinois Children's Mental Health Act of 2003, 2008.
This paper describes the Illinois Children's Mental Health Act of 2003 as an example of public policy process.
2,380 words (approx. 9.5 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 72.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that the Illinois Children's Mental Health Act of 2003 creates legislative policy stipulating that a mental health plan, which includes intervention and prevention, will be developed in the state for all children from the age of birth to 18. The author points out that the state desires to implement social education relating to mental health care to change attitudes negatively impacting children with mental problems. The paper concludes that the policy process is a long and extensive venture and that it takes a great deal of commitment to the policy's ideas in order to realize its goals. The author stresses that, when creating policy, the initiators must continue to work with the issues until they have been implemented because, when others take control of the plans, the policy will be altered in a manner that was not intended.
From the Paper
"The inclusion of the focus on academic achievement and the Illinois education system in the Act may indicate that there is a hidden agenda connected to the legislation. As stipulated in the Act there is a concern that the mental illness of students adversely affects their "academic readiness and school success." While there is no doubt that all Americans desire their children to be considered high academic achievers, it should also be considered that, under the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), school districts are required to ensure that students can pass standardized tests in order for the schools to remain operational."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how differential attitudes towards different social groups leads to differential treatment and thereby outcomes, for the families of abused children. The paper provides scholarly material supporting the above contention and also looks at what the social work profession can do to discourage such sentiments while simultaneously making itself more responsive to victims. The writer explores a selected client system and looks at how families existing within different socioeconomic or racial contexts can experience variable treatment at the hands of social workers. Specifically, the paper explores the seriousness with which child abuse is addressed by social workers when that abuse occurs in non-white homes or is perpetrated by a woman and not by a man. The paper also looks at cultural factors which social workers overlook at their peril and what can be done by social workers to mitigate the effects of child mistreatment. In the end, the writer maintains that there are flaws in the system but also hope for the future.

Abstract
Family Unit in Different Contexts
From the Paper
"At the same time, social workers face a number of challenges that professionals even a generation or so ago simply did not encounter. For one thing, our society - by which it is meant Anglo-American society predominantly - is changing rapidly and becoming more diverse than in the past. As a result, social workers working with troubled families must deal with cultural and religious assumptions and cosmologies that were scarcely present before the 1970s - or even 1980s. The end result of all this is that people from different cultures must be communicated with in different ways and allowances must be made for the fact that certain procedures - such as physical examinations of an abused child - may cause pain for the non-offending parent (assuming he or she has been reared in a "traditional" faith such as Hinduism) in a way that they would not for someone reared in a more secular manner. Similarly, religious families already wracked by grief or by pangs of guilt do not need social workers to inject their own cynicism about religion into any discussions occurring between the parties."

Icon Barbie and the Female Image, 2007.
An examination of the impact of the concept of Barbie as the "perfect" woman.

Abstract
This paper examines the influence of the image of the Barbie doll on the female gender. The writer discusses Stacy Handler's (the granddaughter of the Barbie creator) struggles with weight, self-worth and social acceptance as a young female in society. It explains how many young girls have developed eating disorders while trying to emulate Barbie physically and how this has had many psychological repercussions. In its conclusion, the paper shows that until society is willing to comprehend the damage that it inflicts on children through these unrealistic expectations, the concept of Barbie as the "perfect" woman will continue to negatively impact the female gender.
From the Paper
"The Barbie doll was introduced to the American public in 1959. The idea for the doll was conceived by Ruth Handler who, with her husband, founded the Mattel Toy Company ("Inventing"). Handler has toured Europe and found the German "Lilli" doll a possible appealing toy for young girls. However, the "Lilli" doll was considered to be too risque' for the young American girl and Handler set about making a doll that would embody the American ideal of femininity. Barbie as a housewife, Barbie as a fashion icon and Barbie as a teenage tennis player were just a few of Handler's visions ("Inventing"). With the assistance of a clothing designer Handler set about creating fashions for the Barbie doll and it was not until these fashions began to catch the eye of parents that the Barbie began to gain in popularity."

Theories of Delinquent Behavior, 2008.
An analysis of the delinquent behavior of a troubled teen using both the self-control theory and social control theory.

Abstract
This paper presents a case study which illustrates how latent traits and environmental factors combine to create delinquent behavior. Specifically, the paper explores the family life of a troubled teen and the failed interventions which sought to rescue him from a life of crime. The paper also looks at the consequences of the young person's actions and considers how his behavior fits in with orthodox descriptions of delinquent behavior. Finally, the paper discusses and analyzes the social control theory and the self-control theory which offer potential explanations for his behavior and suggests that one of them appears to offer a more accurate insight into "Steven's" plight than the other.
Table of Contents:
Abstract
Self-Control Theory and Delinquent Behavior
From the Paper
"Ultimately, this writer believes that both the social control theory and the self-control theory offer significant explanations for Steve's delinquency. However, the self-control theory actually appears rather more pertinent insofar as Steven was, by all accounts, a rebellious and even violent child from a very early age. As well, it is commonly known that his parents were dominant factors in his early life - because of social isolation, he spent far more time with them than with anyone else (he was, in fact, home-schooled at one point by his mother) - and both Steven's father and his grandfather had serious "run-ins" with the law. This evidence suggests that a genetic predisposition to antisocial behavior may run in the family and, to the extent this is true, then Steven's problems are the manifestation of a latent trait that has always been there and perhaps will always be there."

Child Labor, 2008.
This paper discuses issues relating to child labor in the Third World.
1,580 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that child labor is not only a practice that can be exploitative and detrimental to the welfare of the child, but it also negatively characterizes the conditions within the country. The author points out that child labor has long been established within all countries, including developed countries such as Canada, the United States and Western Europe. The paper states that dismissing child labor outright reduces the opportunity to identify the wishes of the children themselves in respect to their ability to support or supplement the earnings of the family as well as reduces the opportunity for developing countries to affect positive change by evaluating their own child labor practices and its impact on their economic position.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Basics of Child Labor
Child Labor and International Organizations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Child labor is criticized based upon the conditions of the workplace, the wages child workers receive, and the consequences of working as opposed to receiving an education or participating in other normal childhood activities. Sites where child laborers work are situated in developing countries where there are minimal provisions in place to ensure the safety of workers; this outcome is exacerbated when the children do not have the ability to facilitate change through representation or through equal association with those who hold power within this environment."

Leisure Activities and Rates of Crime, 2008.
A discussion of the activities theory approach to understanding rates of serious crime.
1,774 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the relationship between routine leisure activities and crime. It discusses the activities theory approach and attempts to explain the relationship between macro-level indicators of leisure activities and the rates of serious crime. It also discusses how the way people usually conduct their activities can indicate how likely they are to be victims of crime.
From the Paper
"All in all, it would seem that Messner and Blau (1979) satisfactorily proved their hypothesis. In doing so, they also validated the routine activities theory and Hawley's (1950) human ecology theory. It may also be noted that Cohen and Felson (1979) made a similar hypothesis, using the opportunities for crime aspect of the routine activity theory to predict that crime rates would become higher with greater dispersion of activities away from households and families."
"We can conclude from the above that there is compelling evidence to suggest that the incidence of crime increases in proportion to the amount of time that is spent away from the household."

Bias in Gender Roles, 2008.
This paper discusses the portrayal of males and females in children's books.
1,974 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Many children's books contain myths and stereotypes which, although they appear to be commonsense understanding, are actually completely inaccurate. Children learn from text and images that represent the culture, and then they organize their perceptions of the world based on that information. This paper makes use of symbolic interactionism and structural functionalism to argue that gender as it is depicted in children's books has a social purpose and that very young children are capable of interpreting the meaning. The four themes of gender bias, gender role socialization, gender-based traits, and pseudo gender equality are discussed.
Outline:
Introduction
Gender Bias
Gender Role Socialization and Stereotypes
Pseudo Gender Equality
Conclusion
From the Paper
"At the same time, Gooden and Gooden provide a persuasive rationale for the over-abundance of males in children's books and picture books they surveyed that were published from 1995 to 1999. The authors were all simply accepting of the traditional view of the work role assigned to the male, and these values were therefore promoted in the books. Diekman and Murnen found that even in nonsexist books for children, gender segregation and the traditional idealization of femininity result in an unequal representation of the sexes. The patterns pointed out by these authors exist for a purpose. That purpose, as is perceived through structural functionalism, is to maintain social equilibrium which depends on male dominance and female subservience. Symbolic interactionism allows us to see that very young children are aware of and are quite capable of interpreting and internalizing these patterns through the books they encounter."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the implementation of a health promotion project for at-risk youth in Toronto, which addressed several issues. The writer notes that the youth in the project were homeless, marginalized and had matters related to substance abuse, addiction, alcoholism, mental illness, such as severe depression, and risky sexual behaviors such as prostitution. The writer mentions that other issues relating to physical illness included hepatitis B and C, HIV, AIDS and STDS. HIV was linked to IV drug use, incarceration, and unprotected sex. Further, the writer points out that additional issues included withdrawal behavior, low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence. The writer notes that the majority of the youth exhibited varying levels of anger, frustration, as well as feelings of hopelessness and detachment from their environment. The writer concludes that among the limitations of the initiative was the problem that the young people encountered many structural barriers such as questions about health insurance and consent for care.
From the Paper
"The youth who might not have been reached would be young people at Covenant House and the Turning Point Shelter who do not bother with the drop-in facility. Other youth that especially need to be reached may still not have cut their ties with the street. They are simply sleeping at the shelters. The best way to reach them is to ensure that the youth who do attend the Evergreen Center will transmit information about it to other youth. In addition, Ontario Works is the gatekeeper of information for the youth."
"I knew that the initiative was important to the community aggregates because of their response once they had an opportunity to share their frustrations and concerns. They demonstrated an interest in coming to the center, and many of them developed a loyalty to the center. I conducted a survey of the youth at one point, and also collected stories and data. The youth indicated that hey learned a great deal of information which addressed their health concerns. They also demonstrated interest in making improvements to this community."

Childhood Nutrition, 2007.
This paper is an article review that discuses three factors affecting children's acceptance of new foods.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is based on an article by Leann Birch titled 'Development of Food Acceptance Patterns' in the July 1990 issue of "Developmental Psychology". The author points out that knowing what affects children's eating patterns can make a difference in whether a child is healthy or obese. The paper relates that the three factors affecting whether a child will try a new food and the patterns of food choice a child will have are culture, biology and individual experience. The paper stresses that the role of the caregiver is to teach children the importance of eating nutritious foods.
From the Paper
"When children sense the stress and concern over whether the child will eat a new food, they often refuse due to the anxiety they are feeling about them eating it. For instance, a young girl was asked to eat barbecue ribs. She could tell that her parents did not think she would like it so she refused. When the young girl began dating and she was asked to try barbecue ribs by her boyfriend she tried it. She found she loved barbecue ribs. Later, she told her parents that she could sense that they did not think she would like it so she refused."
