Juvenile Gangs.
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) Generally, for purposes of this discussion, a gang can be considered to be a loosely organized group of individuals who collaborate together for social reasons. Modern day gangs also collaborate for anti-social reasons. Gangs generally have a leade, or group of leaders, who issue orders and often profit from the gang's activities. A gang claims group identity through "their colors", certain types of clothing, tattoos, brands, or other gang ID. Many gangs also adopt certain types of hairstyles and communicate through the use of hand signals and graffiti on walls, streets, school work, and school property. It should be acknowledged, that, it is not illegal to be in a gang, and indeed many adults are currently involved in activities that meet Webster's definition for a gang. However, many gangs of today, especially youthful gangs, break the law to provide funding for gang activities or to further the gang's territory, or reputation on "the streets."

Loss Of Their Mother, Living With An Alcoholic Father: Impact Upon 3 Teenage Girls
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. After their mother's death, the eldest daughter (18) fell into the role of mother of her younger twin siblings. Up until recently, the twins used to ride horses everyday; their reason for stopping is unclear but presumed to be directly connected with the manner by which their entire lives have been turned upside down. One of them has become very promiscuous and verbally abusive, while the other has become promiscuous and a pot smoker. The eldest daughter, who is a good girl and very serious about her caretaker position, is frustrated over how the girls are not looking to her as a role model. Although she tries to socialize some with her friends and maintain a semblance of normalcy in her own life, she is generally very depressed and has been on an anti-depressant since her mother's death. What pains her the most is how her father is an 'absentee parent.' Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Middle Child Syndrome
[ send me this paper ]
31 pages in length. With the trials and tribulations of Jan Brady firmly entrenched in the American psyche, one might have thought that the Middle Child Syndrome was nothing more than a spoiled brat acting out her insecurities no
differently than any other child. However, since the time of The Brady Bunch more than two decades ago, the psychological community has come to realize that there is, indeed, an issue of self-esteem with regard to middle children. Parents who have three children do not consciously realize the varied ways in which they relate to each child, inasmuch as the eldest child typically maintains
a role of responsibility; the youngest assumes the role as baby; and the middle child gets lost somewhere in the shuffle. Given no identity like his or her siblings, the middle child comes to feel left out and unimportant – two of the most detrimental aspects of health self-esteem.

Napier And Whitaker's "The Family Crucible"
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. By following a family's therapeutic treatment through the various stages of healing, Napier et al (1988) are able to create a link between family relationships and the manner in which they impact the individual as both a member of that family and a separate entity. This obvious connection to anthropology enables the authors to continue applying such a concept even as the family structure continues to change; it becomes quite apparent that even though this was the case, there were issues within that particular family structure that also remained the same. Even within the relationship itself, individuals often do not embrace the same meaning. In one session, the family's position is noted as being highly indicative of inner turmoil. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
