Adverse Effects Associated With American Adults Who Experienced Corporal Punishment As Adolescents
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The application of corporal punishment – infliction of physical punishment upon the body – in contemporary American schools has been virtually stamped out of existence over the past several years due to notion of human rights and what is considered to be acceptable discipline by today's standards. Present-day disciplinary methods strive to impart a sense of mental reinforcement – both positive and negative – in order for the student to learn right from wrong, leaving the physical hands-on approach of corporal punishment as nothing more than a distant memory of times when bodily harm was the only employable method.

[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing all the aspects of anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is a eating disorder which is a considered the refusal by an individual to maintain normal body weight but instead loses weight either by diet, exercise or purging with an attempt to obtain an ideal body weight; however, the individual never has the perception of reaching that ideal weight. Anorexia causes severe physical damage and in many cases may result in death. The largest portion of the population affected by anorexia is teenage girls and if untreated can lead to a 20% morality rate. Treatment of the disease decreases the mortality rate to 1 to 2% but treatment is a difficult and long process. While 60% of those treated enjoy a full recovery, 20% continue with the disease and the other 20% relapse back into the disease. Treatments proven to be the most successful are those which combine elements of hospitalization, psychological counseling on individual, group, family and support levels and some pharmacological treatments to decrease depression.

Attributes and Value of Youth Work
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper discussing how work experience can affect adolescent workers. In many developed nations, adolescents choose to work at wage-earning jobs to contribute to further education, the ability to have a higher level of discretionary funds available or even to support a young family that may or may not have been planned. Youth workers can have a wide variety of reasons for working at wage-earning jobs, which in turn provide significant learning opportunities. The youth worker finds opportunity not only to learn skills to build on, s/he also has the opportunity to learn much about himself and to more closely define the individual that s/he is. The paper explores Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Erikson’s expansion on it to determine that it is the third level, that of belonging, that can be of greatest obvious beneficial effect for teens. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
