Juvenile Justice Reform act of 2018 Major Issues with the System Every year, in the United States, millions of juveniles come into contact with the nation’s juvenile justice system. Once in this system, these juveniles are often treated as adults, a major violation of their fundamental rights and special protections under the law. This is a major limitation in the law, which has seen hundreds of thousands of children tried and prosecuted by the country’s adult justice system.[1] In particular, when children are prosecuted in the adult courts rather than the juvenile justice system, they are denied and deprived of their freedom as well as rights to a fair trial. In a sense, it is without a doubt that this juvenile system appears more hurting than helping the youths. It should be noted that its creation was designed under the premise that children had a better opportunity of changing if given proper rehabilitation. However, it is apparent that this system partly fulfills this role but instead aims at incarcerating juveniles even for mistakes that never warranty confinement. Nevertheless, while some…
Do you have an ethical obligation to address this issue? Social work goes hand in hand with advocacy and social services. Being a social worker, I am held by social and advocacy ethics to address matters of advocacy. Many people seek social work services. When social services cases observe a common vein, advocacy comes in to find changes in the system. System changes address social needs on a deeper level, covering common issues for the entire community. Advocacy gives voice to the society’s needs, bringing them to the attention of relevant authorities, who then put policies in place to address the raised issue (Dalrymple et al., 2013). It is, therefore, the moral and ethical duty of a social worker to address advocacy issues on the society they serve.. Elaborate on the difference between providing service and advocacy. Providing service involves directly or indirectly addressing a need that a client has to ensure its resolution to the client’s satisfaction. Service provision is focused on a client at a time. Even though many clients may come with different versions of the same…
Gender Gender refers to the socialized roles of being male or female. Conformity refers to the urge people have to try and conform to social behaviors that are generally accepted by their gender peers. Various scholars have focused on finding out how gender affects people’s alignment of attitudes about issues and behavior. Skinner et al. investigated whether gender typicality affected the self-esteem of 203 African American students towards conformity. Male and female participants ranging from 16 to 19 years were selected for the study. Issues such as racial centrality, self-efficacy, and social pressure were used as measurements in the study. The results depicted that male participants were more gender-typical of their other males when compared to females. The study also revealed that male participants felt more pressure from their social environment to conform to traditional male roles than females. The study, however, noted that girls gave in more than boys to conform to gender roles than boys despite the pressure being even. The study also showed that youth who were more aligned with their racial groups had lower self-esteem in…

anti-discrimination acts Discrimination is the unjust treatment that one, for example, an employee receives, which mostly is based on sex, race or gender. Flora, who was looking forward to working as a sales specialist, was asked to take a test, and it was not rightfully correct. This is because salespersons’ skills and knowledge are not tested in the math and general aptitude tests that she was given. Her failing the tests led to disqualification for the position, thus treated as discrimination as she could have been given a chance to showcase her skills on selling rather than being given other types of tests. Title VII allows a test to be used during selection. Still, it should not be used based on discriminating against others based on gender, race, religion or culture. It feels like Flora wasn’t supposed to be given the test as they do not apply to the job she was being interviewed for (Campisi, 2019). The tests should be administered to the right internees in that according to the position one has asked for. Not all posts need…
Duma approves law allowing Putin to remain in power beyond 2024 The Russian parliament today Wednesday unanimously approved changes to the Nation’s Constitution in the third and final reading, a move that now allows President Vladimir Putin to remain at the helm of the country’s leadership for an additional 12 years after his current term comes to an end in 2024. In favor of the proposal, 283 lawmakers supported it, more than the qualified majority of two-thirds, and no votes against it were registered.

On Tuesday, the extra-parliamentary opposition announced protests under the slogan “Russia without Putin” that are expected to take place within the next ten days. The opposition,…

Innocence and Truth Innocence keeps the soul happy and maintains a friendship with the truth. Besides, integrity has courage towards men. Those, as mentioned earlier are the sentiments written by the great novelist Henry Fielding in some of his satirical and humor-filled works. Indeed, the scholar’s opinion is agreeable concerning some artistic pieces, including short stories and movies. However, Fielding’s opinions, to an extent, contradict the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Young Goodman Brown. While Fielding’s sentiments on innocence and truth encapsulate most of the life stories and written art, this opinion is not entirely accurate with Hawthorne’s short story. Hence, innocence and truth are controversial sentiments in Young Goodman Brown. Young Goodman Brown is a satirical literature that depicts several themes such as morality, religion, rebirth, and love. Moreover, innocence and truth are underlying elements closely observed through accurate analysis. Overall, Young Goodman Brown presents two primary themes; loss of innocence and coping with the truth. Loss of innocence is visible when individuals who do not know some awful concepts or do not consider their existence know the atrocious aspects…
