    Dave Berry is a hilarious and captivating writer. In his article he breaks down three characteristics of what a guy, not man, is. First and foremost, he explains how guys like neat stuff, as he puts it. For example, purchasing over qualified computers for miniscule assignments. While not using the computer for its upmost potential. Or how the space shuttle is still around for guy’s entertainment. Basically, the shuttle breaks down, they fix it, and get to send it back up to space all over again. For the hundredth time. He continues to explain the next and most well-known characteristic of men. One I should have guessed, guys like a really pointless challenge. For instance trying to see who could go the fastest…

    In dystopian novels, it’s very common that society is rather corrupted, restricted, and unfree. Citizens are expected to follow orders without a second thought and behave like everyone else. Nonetheless, these dystopias are treated as if they are perfect and ideal. Why do these troubled societies are appear to be perfect? Is it because they appear to be the best option as other countries are even more corrupted? Are citizens brainwashed into believing that their homeland is as idealistic? Or is it the denial telling these residents that there is nothing fundamentally wrong in paradise? Maybe the reasons are all of the questions previously asked. One thing is for sure – ideal utopias are never what they appear…

    Gender affects delinquency because male and female juveniles are committing crimes growing in the inner cities where crime rate is high. Experts show females as taking on masculine characteristics and becoming involved in gang and gang violence similar to males (Wadsworth, 2005, p. 136). Males are arrested for crimes such as larceny and aggravated assault, and females are participating in similar crimes, which are quickly increasing their crime rate. When seeking reasons for gender delinquency, there are some explanations that described gender differences and how it relates to delinquency which is the trait view, the socialization view, the liberal feminist view, and the critical feminist view (Wadsworth, 2005, p. 137).…

    The way we build relationships with children and young people changes according to the age and stage of their development. Responding to a 14-year-old in the same way as a 3-year-old is obviously not going to work. Reassurance and approval are important as children are beginning to develop an awareness of themselves, and it is important that their self-concept is a positive one. Play workers give reassurance and approval by smiling, praising or simply being alongside children as they try out something new. Children are quick to sense adults who are willing to spend the time listening properly to them. In this phase of childhood, children need adults to talk, but particularly to listen to them and explore their ideas, feelings and thoughts. Reassurance and approval is important for children and it is important that, at times, this is given unconditionally, as children who learn that they are valued only if they are achieving or pleasing an adult can lose confidence. During these years, it is important that children learn that they can develop their own views and opinions and that play workers are interested in hearing them. Young people still need good relationships with adults in many ways these relationships are as important as ever because they are likely to be undergoing significant changes in their lives as well as physically growing up. They need to be able to turn to adults for advice, reassurance and understanding. Young people are quick to identify play workers who will listen to them and empathise. It is important that the play worker not dismiss young people’s problems out of hand however trivial they may seem. When young people feel that they are not being listened to, they often stop communicating altogether. This is worrying, as many young people ‘warm up’ by talking generally before deciding whether or not to talk to an adult about some deeper issues that are affecting them. Play workers can build good relationships with young people by respecting…
