Industry Analysis: Youth Development and Afterschool Programs
Youth development, often referred to as positive youth development, is the combination of positive experiences, positive relationships, and positive environments. Youth development aims to engage children and adolescents in positive aspects of their communities, schools, etc. in order to help foster positive relationships, experiences, and environments (“Positive Youth Development,” 2014). However, youth development is a very broad term. It can be applied to programs within schools, after-school programs, community programs, recreational sports programs, summer camps, families, peer organizations, religious youth groups, etc. (“Positive Youth Development,” 2014).
For the purpose of this program, we will be examining the Child Study and Development Center on the UNH campus. This is a very unique environment which serves families with infants, toddlers,

In the mid 1900s, people began to place more emphasis on the importance of positive experiences in both childhood and adolescence (“Chapter One,” 1996). “Increases in juvenile crime and concerns about troubled youth led in the 1950s to the beginning of major federal funding initiatives to address these issues” (“Chapter One,” 1996). The great popularity of and necessity for youth development programs came as a result of this. Problem and risk reduction youth development was initially more prevalent, but more recently, especially in the last 20 years, leaders in the industry have realized the importance of positive youth development as a means of preparation for the future as opposed to prevention and correction of risky or troublesome behavior (“Chapter One,” 1996). Currently, there are many organizations that promote positive youth development. For the purpose of this project, we examined the Child Study and Development Center as a youth development
In 1860 through 1900 America experienced a huge period of industrial growth. This was due to 3 reasons. The first was that there was a huge tide of immigrants coming to America, second is that there was a lot of new inventions, and third being that the Civil War stimulated mass production techniques. Immigrants provided big companies with cheap labor, and lots of it. From 1880 to 1921, 23 million immigrants came to the U.S looking for work and opportunity.
One positive attribute that came from Industrialization was that it provided better financial opportunities. Masses of different types of mills and factories started to show up like Flax Mills and Cotton Factories. These factories had many demands such as workers. Most of them had bad effects such as health conditions, but there were many other factories, such as the textile factory in Document 3 where it was stated that “Soon the production of exports outpaced the import of goods” (Document 3). This made most companies in England very wealthy compared to other countries like France because they could sell more than they bought.
With the rise of industrialization occurring during the late 19th century the conditions for laborers in any industry affected by this revolution worsened due to the demand for ever increasing efficiency. Industrialization occurring at the end of the 19th century created a degrading work environment that led laborers to unionize and demand the opposite. Along with better machinery that came with the industrial revolution, management practices also became more efficient. Due to the introduction of better machinery, the need for craft workers decreased by a margin and the need for workers without such skills increased by a larger margin (MindTap, 3.3). With the mixture of an echelon system of management and unskilled labor conflict arose and
What would the world be like if it was not industrialized? Between 1700-1900 industrialization had propelled Europe and the United States forward. Economic systems changed governments and helped societies succeed. Utopian ideas and industrialization led to progress in social life and influenced governments from the late 1700s early 1900s through progressive capitalism, new socialist ideas, and unproductive communism. Progressive capitalism changed the world.
By the end of the civil war the creation of the large-scale industrialization was developed due to war profits such as weapons and foreign investments such as trading commodities with different countries. Therefore, during the years between 1865 to 1900, industrialization affected the United States society in many significant ways through business, government and labor. Many business corporations were involved with the government. In document 2, the author is political activist and impacted government workforce by illustrating an image that shows big businessmen are controlling the senate. Money equals power so since the Business companies have, almost full power over them, they can clearly manage anything they desire.
War profits that were invested into the industrialization, helped the economy become stronger. However, industrialization was insanely horrible for the United States during 1865-1900, for the reasons of working conditions, corruption and the boom and bust cycle. The working conditions in the factories, that the workers faced were scandalous. These horrible working conditions resulted in the workers performing strikes because of unhealthy environments, low wages and overcrowding.
Everyone knows about the industrial revolution and how it had a significant impact on the world, but the question is, was it positive or negative? So many things happened during the industrial era that led to our world now, that’s why this essay is going to be talking about the specific impact that industrial revolution had on the world. Industrialization has changed the world for better for several reasons: firstly, it has improved children’s working conditions by creating new laws, secondly, new machinery made quicker production of resources, and thirdly, created clean living conditions for people. The opposition may argue that industrialization was awful because of how people suffered. However, industrialisation had more advantages than
Industrialization had a massive toll on America and Europe. Industrialization is the period of social and economic change that transforms a human group from an agrarian society into an industrial one, involving the extensive re-organization of an economy for the purpose of manufacturing. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because there were many job opportunities, although it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were that the children were forced to work so they could help out their families, air and water pollution, and horrible working/living conditions.
Industrialization was a time in which the lives of Americans were changing drastically. It was an era, that help shape America to the form that it is today. During the Industrialization, many may argue that it was a time where our people and land was treated horrible. But, this time period led us to greater and farther things that we didn’t know was possible. This Revolution was a step towards a dramatic and positive effect to America.
The Captains of Industry were certainly one of the most important factors in the development of United States in the period directly after the Civil War. While there is some merit to the argument that the industrial leaders were Robber Barons that did more harm than good, their contributions to American society clearly outweigh those negatives. The Captains of Industry quite literally revolutionized the American way of life that gave the U.S. the highest standard of living in the world prior to the outbreak of World War I. This was made possible due to the emergence of corporations in areas such as finance, steel, oil, and railroads. When these men combined with other factors, such as the mechanization of agriculture, immigration, migration,
After the end of the American Civil War, there was a long period of republican dominated politics. These republican politicians heavily favored industry, and as a result the United States quickly became an industrial powerhouse in the world. Many entrepreneurs, some of which include John Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and Cornelius Vanderbilt, staked their claim in American industry and shaped the post-war nation. The growth of American industry led to major shifts in the structure of American economics, disagreements over the role of the American government, and changes in American lifestyle. The growth of big business resulted in major shifts in the structure of American economics.
The industrialization of Great Britain led the world to modern technology because of all of their ample amount of natural resources and political stability. With multiple entrepreneurs looking for new factories and capital to invest in those factories, they continued to show the world they were the leaders in urbanization at that time. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily positive consequences for society because of modernized machines, it was actually a negative thing for society. Industrialization’s negative effects were child labor, separated families, and bad quality of life.
In the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution had significant influence worldwide, causing countries to compete against each other for industrial power. The British were the first to be heavily involved in industrialization, making huge technological advancements, which made them superior in strength compared to other countries. They made use of this advantage and sought to increase their power all around the world. Japan and India’s path to industrialization were caused by Britain’s influences. Japan was forced to open its trade ports to the Western powers in the mid-19th century, and India was colonized by Britain, which made them subject to factory work and exploitation.
Before the Industrial Revolution occurred, people often manufactured their own items in their homes. But then in the late 1760’s, industrialization became key. Industrialization is the introduction of new machines, and other technologies in an area. This brought many jobs, and even improved transportation, communication, and banking. It even boosted the America’s population about 57%.
A Vision for Change (2006) has set out recommendations with regards to child and adolescent mental health. However, it can be argued that there is a lack of progress regarding the issues young people have highlighted as priorities. The youth organisations discussed, Mind Out, NYPs, BBBS, work from a personal development youth work model. (Kiely 2009, p. 22) They are concerned with enabling young people to manage their lives and integrate into existing society.
