By: Ed DeJesus | - In the midst of the highest levels of unemployment in the past 50 years, a unique opportunity has opened up for President Obama to change the course of opportunity for youth and he is missing it.

- What The Obama Administration Needs To Know About Reaching Youth
By: Ed DeJesus | - In the effort to guide our youth in a direction that promotes financial economic opportunity, continued growth, and enhanced education, it is imperative that the Obama administration take a long hard look at the signals that they send. Time has proven that the old method of doing things is simply that—old.

- Is The Warrior Gene Responsible For Youth Violence?
By: Bianca Tora | - Youth violence is a growing concern of our society. The question that has most often been asked is whether it is caused by nature (genes) or nurture (environment).
While many studies point to youth violence as a nurturing issue, new research points to heredity as a genetic component that cannot be entirely taken out of the picture.
Gangs have traditionally been regarded as a sociological phenomenon. Poverty, lack of education and poor parenting skills have all play ...

- The First Batman Comics A Different Batman
By: Vince P.Platania,Jr | - The first Batman comics were written in a pulp style representative of the times. In these early stories, Batman was not above using firearms, or even harming or killing criminals with little to no remorse. Being a detective more so than a superhero, Batman was more akin to a private eye than a capes and tights crimefighter, despite his appearance. Things toned down a little when Robin joined the Caped Crusader, but were still kept in that pulp tone.
Bill Finger, the co-creator ...

- Experience Co-ed Camp In Different Ways
By: Mari milian | - Nature is burgeoning with contrastingly complimentary shades. The sun and moon, earth and sky, fire and water, snow and sand, deserts and rivers.

- School Shootings Aren't Caused By The Type Of Student That The Media Tells You About
By: Ruth Wells | - Teachers, principals and counselors: As most of you are aware, some of the recent school shootings were apparently committed by students who were not known for their acting- out behaviors, but instead for their relatively quiet withdrawal and depression.
