What are risk factors for children to become involved in gang activity?

/in /by

In the increasingly violent times that the U.S. is experiencing, it has been observed that children in some areas are terrorized by street violence. Gang warfare can easily turn a quiet neighborhood into a war zone, where children might become inadvertent victims. Although some children can’t cope with the fear, a few are able to rise above it and confidently move ahead.

What are risk factors for children to become involved in gang activity?

Describe some of the effects of gang violence on children.

Describe some of the characteristics of children who grow stronger by surviving in these environments.

Discuss how parents in these neighborhoods could foster these characteristics in growing children.

Paper requires 3-4 paragraphs followed by a reference page in APA format.

You probably have noticed in your educational career that some people are very good at remembering facts and therefore, do well at tests that require memorization. Other students, on the other hand, struggle with tests that require memorization.  To understand how memory works, this exercise will ask you to trace the memory system from the stimuli to long-term memory.

Use your textbook and research from the Internet to learn the process of memory, from beginning to end. Your description should include the following:

· Identification and description of each step in the human memory model; as you describe these steps, use an example to illustrate the process

· Discussion of factors that enhance or impede information flow in each step of the process

· Explanation of proactive and retroactive interference and how you might counteract their effects while studying to facilitate maximum retention via long-term memory

· Explanation of other kinds of forgetting and a discussion of strategies that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval

Submit this in a paper of 2–3 pages. You can use illustrations to demonstrate the process.    Be sure to document your references using APA format.
