The Young Ones

Each room has one or more televisions and a robust speaker system lining the walls. The rooms themselves serve a variety of functions, many of which would seem beyond the scope of a standard church. There are many signs denoting activities held at all times of year. There are multiple cafes and plenty of sitting space, which are always busy on sundays. Before a service begins, the members of Willow Creek converse in these spaces. Past the main entrance, there are several sets of staircases and escalators, leading to separate floors with rooms and winding hallways of their own. Near the stairs, a magnificent fountain cascades a waterfall all the way down to the basement level. Most of the churchgoers’ children stay for each service in the basement, as this floor offers both a safe and hassle-free childcare option for the parents, as well as the opportunity for the young ones to gain knowledge in religion and god at a young age, and in an entertaining…

people who can go to college have the opportunity to study their desired majors and for the ones who are undecided on what they want to major still have the opportunity to finish the prerequisites yet gain knowledge while they are there. I don’t find it fair that some people who are in college because their parents told them even though it’s not the student/persons decision, it is most likely to have parents content that their child is attending college, therefore there are people wanting to…

For this reason, research is very crucial, especially when it relates to children and young people. It requires that various concerns relating to consent, ethics as well as the methodology of dissemination be in the best interest of children and the young people. There is a significant impact originating from the influence and nature of variations in the relationships that exist between those being researched and researchers in the process of investigation. Thus, it is crucial to understand the…

who do not meet their standards? Not one human life is experienced the same, making it inevitable for people’s interpretation of life clash with other’s. Life consists of stages of happiness, fear, or sorrow, but how people handle the uncertainty of life, reveals a lot about their character. Some are faced with a life time of sadness but see the beauty in life, while others are blessed with opportunities but are never fully happy. In “Everyday Use”, and “A Clean, Well- Lighted Place,” we see…

His theory however doesn’t look at the resilience of children and young people, as he believes that all children are the same so will be unable to fully to cope with the situations; children are able to cope with different circumstances on various levels and it will all depend on how resilient they are. While younger children may not be able to cope with the loss or even fully understand it older children may be able to cope with situations. Harris (1998) believes that parents do not shape…

themselves a successful life. Young adults should aspire to be their best selves on a day to day basis. "The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times" (Paulo Coelho xi).

Chaser” by John Collier, “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury, “To the Virgins, To Make Much Of Time” by Robert Herrick, and “To a Young Girl at a Window” by Margaret Widdemer. The writers utilize symbolism to demonstrate the importance of spending time wisely, since the past cannot be undone. Herrick writes his poem as an experienced person speaking to a young novice, in order to communicate the message of making good use of one’s time. The entire short poem concerns Herrick’s view that a…

These young people commit horrible crimes when they are young and end up getting very long sentences (Rideau). A person who commits a crime in their twenties doesn’t need to be in jail for the rest of their lives. This won’t help the person at all, and it obviously hasn’t reduced crime at all. It does no good for our society to exile a young person for the rest of their lives. As I stated before, it would be more beneficial if prisons could help educate these criminals in making better…

with children and young people as they may not completely understand what we are saying. For example, the younger the person is the more simpler and clearer we should communicate. If the child is very young, we would need to talk in a way they would understand. This can include talking in a generally more simple way. We may need to talk with a different tone of voice than we usually would to keep the child engaged, as the may get distracted easily and not fully listen to what we are saying. If…
