The year is two-thousand fifty –four,
The world is full of curses.
People walk the streets no more,
No women carry purses.
The name of the game is survival now-
Safety is far in the past.
Families are huge with tons of kids
In hopes that one will last
Drugs are no longer looked down on,
They are a way of life.
They help us escape the wrenching stress
Of our fast worlds endless strife…
I wake up now-it was only a dream,
But the message was terribly clear.
We ‘d better think hard about the future
Before our goals and our dreams disappear.

A rose called by any other name would smell just as sweet, wrote Shakespeare. So ,what is there in a name! But names do matter, names have their values, so does the “identity”.
Who am I ?What is my identity? Where I was born? Who are my parents? What is my socioeconomic position in society? What is my caste? What is my religion? What is my nationality? What is my education? What is my profession? All these are parameters of “identity”.
There are many issues that today’s teenagers face. Probably one of the most common is the issue of individualism or identity. The growing rate of drug addiction, juvenile crime, maladjustment, violence, unemployment, parent-child conflict are amongst the serious problems of today’s youth.
Starting the discussion of this problem I want to remind the words of God In the movie “Bruce
Almighty” , “You asked me what is a miracle….When a teenage boy says “no” to drugs and says “yes” to school that is a miracle. In modern life for most kids to say “no” to drugs may be regarded as miracle.
Soumi (name changed) is 15 years old and pregnant. She reflects, ”I am 3 months pregnant. This could ruin my whole life. I have made all plans for the future and now they are down the drain. I donot have anybody to talk to about my problem.” These pregnant youths are a flaw in today’s social fabric. Like Soumi, far too many become pregnant in their earlier and middle adolescent years. Sixteen year old Jennifer (name changed) gradually eliminated foods from her diet to the point where she subsisted by eating only applesauce and eggnog. She was hospitalized and treated for Anorexia Nervosa, an eating disorder that involves the relentless pursuit of thinness through starvation. It can eventually lead to death, as it did for popular singer Karen Carpenter. In modern families, there are exchanges like this:

Anytime we assume that all people are functioning at the same level behaviorally and emotionally in the workplace, we are sure to be surprised. Surprised when we encounter a co-worker who responses to what we thought was a simple comment with an emotional outburst that resembles that of an eight-year-old rather than a thirty-year-old.Although emotionally immature employees can be a cause for difficulty at any level according to Sherry Buffington, Ph.D., as they progress up the organization the greater the problems. Should we be able to see inappropriate emotional outburst coming? Are there signs that will give us a heads up about the emotional immaturity level of various co-workers? Look at the following signs: 1. Inability to compromise with the rules of the workplace and with co-workers. Any group of people who spend time together must be able to compromise at times. Not everyone can have their way at every turn of the

Many people are looking for ways to supplement their retirement income. There are several ways that you can add funds to your retirement account, but many of those require part time work or at least working from home. You can, however, supplement your retirement income by using the real estate that you already own. If you plan accordingly, you will not have to struggle to make a mortgage payment once you retire, and actually, you could be able to let your home help you make other monthly payments.Selling your home and moving to something smaller is one easy way to supplement your retirement income. Whether you have a home that is paid in full, or you have a small mortgage left, you should be able to work the numbers and at least save some money per month that can be used during retirement. If you are still living the same house that your kids grew up in with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, it is likely that you do not need a hou

My research arises out of projects to create systems to facilitate management of design and cost related knowledge within aerospace organisations. The aim of using this knowledge is to reduce the costs of designing and manufacturing products. This research identifies ways that problems arising from the model development process can be addressed, by a new way of providing for the creation of software. I have gained experience from projects, which have used a combination of proprietary software solutions and bespoke software. It is possible to identify the approach of User Driven Programming (UDP) as an effective software development technique. This research unites approaches of Object Orientation, the Semantic Web, and Relational Databases and Event Driven programming. The Model Driven Semantic Web [Frankel] explains the opportunities for and importance of this kind of research. The approach encourages much greater user involvement in software

Have you been in a "brainstorming" session where each person just defended their own ideas? Worse is when people don't suggest ideas at all, for fear they'll be attacked. That's no way to brainstorm. Brainstorming is using the power of many minds, and ideas should flow freely and trigger other ideas. How do you make that happen?The Key To Good BrainstormingYou have to have a good leader to have good brainstorming. The leader isn't there to impose his will, though, but to stop the imposition of anyones will. His role is to stop criticisms, arguments, and even strong opinions, at least in the first part of the session.A brainstorming session needs to be spontaneous, open and uncritical. "Bad" or "silly" ideas can lead to helpful ones, so suggestions have to be left un-judged at first. To brainstorm effectively, you can't stifle the creative process. The leaders job, then, is to make everyone feel free to suggest any

Mother responds :”It is the way we do things around here”
Boy replies : “ Why do we do things around here this way? How backdated Culture?"
