    c: the paper was published in 2002, but due to its subject, its still relevant. the website at first seems a little suspicious but due to its URL having .edu and it being a university website (that I did a quick google search on, i trust its information. r: It explores the culture of gangs and gives a good intro to the topic. Little older than i would like but its still all very relevant. a: PHD mike carlie, a professor at a university. All checks out on google. a: all statements that aren't his have a reference, grammar is perfect. p: its to inform and isn't bias.

      This article is related to my project because it talks about how teenagers are not aware of their surroundings, instead they are more focused on facebook, MSN. It also shows an example of how teachers could help teens become more aware by doing simple things in school. As my topic is about apathy and teens being unaware, this article helps a lot.
  • The benefits of being socially aware are endless. Everything from becoming an informed voter to donating to a needy cause is influenced by one's consciousness of current affairs

      By being socially aware, teenagers can have so many more benefits compared to if they are not aware of their surroundings. Being aware can help us in the future and now by, as they say in the article, becoming an informed voter for example.
  • Joseph Miceli, a high school religion teacher, says that discussing current events within the standard school curriculum is "a very practical and effective way of making learning more interesting and real." Although many teachers do an excellent job of making current events relevant in the classroom, Miceli questions whether or not it is consistently used within all subject areas.

      Although teachers are very good at their job, Joseph Miceli wonders if teachers are teaching us enough about current events going on around us. If certain teachers would start to put more emphasis on this subject, teenagers would maybe begin to learn a bit more about their surroundings.

  • Although today's youth are more media savvy than ever before, there seems to be a missing link within the information chain. From soldiers' deaths in the Middle East to fundraising events in their own community, today's teenagers are often uninformed about current events and world news.

      This statement here represents perfectly our topic. It is a fact, teenagers are often uninformed about current events and world news and it is'nt necessarily a good thing. They now have more "important" priorities in their life such as facebook, texting , being with their friends etc... that they don't take the time to see what is happening around the world. Basic knowledge, and some teenagers don't even know stuff about their own country.
  • "Students would rather spend hours on social-networking sites like Facebook and chatting on instant messengers like MSN than searching Google for important world issues," says Clarke.

      Technology plays a huge role in today's generation... and I believe that it could be the cause as to why teenagers are not as aware of their surroundings now. They are more occupied in the latest web invention instead of simply taking 10 minutes of their time to Google stuff about world issues.

      While this is interesting, a newspaper report quoting one teenager is not the most credible source. It's ok if your other sites are excellent.

Who Shaped Our Behavior? Peers or Parents? - 2 views

  • According to Harris, children are most influenced by their peers.  They adopt many behaviors of their peers in social settings in order to be accepted by their peers.

  • The fact is that we decide who we would let influence, inspire, or corrupt us.
  • Peers influence our behavior but parents play a part in which peers we choose to associate with.  Our behavior in public and at work is largely determined by our childhood peers but our family behavior is determined by the early lessons we received at home. 
  • Parents influence at-home behavior and peers influence behavior outside the home, that is, the behavior in the social setting.  We learn how to make friends and influence others by first experimenting with our peers and then we transfer these skills to the adult world of coworkers and friends.  But, how we behave as partners and parents is more likely to be shaped by what we observe in our families as children.

      This section could help us because it explains how teenagers change their behaviours when at home compared to with their social groups. People will always be different with their friends than with their families.
  • It is true that children adopt or mimic certain behaviors in social settings in order to win acceptance of their peers.  How desperate children get for peer acceptance and approval depends on the sense of individuality (or lack of it) their families cultivate in them.  Children whose parents encourage them to think independently learn to question rather than to blindly follow.  Such children might be less influenced by their peers.

      This could help me and my partner for our project because we understand that teenagers try to immitate people to become socially accepted by them. We also understand that teenagers are desperate for this acceptance and have parents who teach them to question important decisions have more independance that those who are 'followers'.

      This web page could really help me and my partner on our search to find the correlation between different environments that teens are in and the behaviour they adapt for that specific environment. This text explains a lot about the mentality that teens have and their influences.

Fear of Authority - Social Anxiety Forum - 1 views

      I believe this post will aid Jordana and I with our project as it gives us a 1st person look into why authority has so much power? We can see that this man almost went crazy just during a simple encounter with a police officer. This article shows us that we have been taught to respect and fear authority. Thus, I believe this post will help Jordana and I explore deeper into why society allows authority to overpower us.
  • I think about how I lost complete control of myself, and how I wouldn’t have had to deal with the embarrassment of being searched if it weren’t for my anxiety. In this case, my anxiety stemmed from what I guess is a fear of people in authority, which I guess is an aspect of my SA. Anyone else have similar experiences?

      I think the author of this post made a point that was interesting. He asks himself why he acted so foolishly during a routine encounter. Thus, asking himself why the authority made him so anxious. This is a perfect example of what Jordana and I are exploring. Why do people act intimidated and make decisions (do things) they don't want to when in the presence of an authoritative figure?

    This seems to be less credible than the other sites - a blog? It's ok because the others are excellent.

Teenager's Search for Identity - 1 views

      We often forget about spiritual life and the presence of religion in a teen's life. It is also a great and important factor on identity.
