The People Growth and Survival

The People Growth and Survival

No society at any time under any conditions has provided enduring freedom security justice or self-determination for all of its citizens. The problems that confront the human species today are so large so complex and so urgent that an effective solution requires a framework that considers mankind as a whole. The alternative according to Gerhard Hirschfeld is global disaster. These observations provide both the motivation and the focus for The People a book that proposes a radical departure from traditional perceptions of people in society. Hirschfeld argues that the basic relationship between people leaders and the middle class has always been fixed in human society and that the people in all societies and at all times have been subject to domination and exploitation. To change this condition-to assure that the people attain dignity and basic human rights-he proposes the creation of a much broader social framework. The work traces the development of the three sectors of society: leaders distinguished by natural talents and the ability to furnish ideas design and organization; second the people-insecure dependent defenseless and exploited; and third the middle class playing the part of an equalizer or moderator to the other two classes. The heart of the book is a careful long-range analysis of these three great historical forces leading to specific proposals of principles and procedures upon which the creation of a mankind-oriented society might be based. Whether used as a text or as a manifesto and call to action this exceptional work is a unique contribution that will ensure its appeal to diverse audiences. | The People Growth and Survival

The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Young People

The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Young People

This companion interrogates the relationship between theatre and youth from a global perspective taking in performances and theatre made by for and about young people. These different but interrelated forms of theatre are addressed through four critical themes that underpin the ways in which analysis of contemporary theatre in relation to young people can be framed: political utterances – exploring the varied ways theatre becomes a platform for political utterance as a process of dialogic thinking and critical imagining; critical positioning – examining youth theatre work that navigates the sensitive dynamic and complex terrains in which young people live and perform; pedagogic frames – outlining a range of contexts and programmes in which young people learn to make and understand theatre that reflects their artistic capacities and aesthetic strategies; applying performance – discussing a range of projects and companies whose work has been influential in the development of youth theatre within specific contexts. Providing critical research-informed and research-based discussions on the intersection between young people their representation and their participation in theatre this is a landmark text for students scholars and practitioners whose work and thinking involves theatre and young people. | The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Young People

Older People Ageing and Social Work Knowledge for practice

'Essential reading for practitioners educators and researchers within the general field of social work with older people. ' - From the foreword by Mark Lymbery Associate Professor of Social Work University of NottinghamThe reality of our ageing population means all social workers need to be confident in working with older people. Social workers are engaged in ongoing practice with older people in a variety of contexts from hospitals aged care assessment teams and mental health services to employment services housing services and rehabilitation services.

They emphasise understanding the diversity of the older population and enabling older people to make the most of their strengths and capacities. | Older People Ageing and Social Work Knowledge for practice

Visual Impairment and Work Experiences of Visually Impaired People

Visual Impairment and Work Experiences of Visually Impaired People

This book traces the development of paid work for visually impaired people in the UK from the 18th century to the present day. It gives a voice to visually impaired people to talk about their working lives and documents the history of employment from their experience an approach which is severely lacking in the current literature about visual impairment and employment. By analysing fifty in-depth face-to-face interviews with visually impaired people talking about their working lives (featuring those who have worked in traditional jobs such as telephony physiotherapy and piano tuning to those who have pursued more unusual occupations and professions) and grouping them according to occupation and framed by documentary historical research these stories can be situated in their broader political economic ideological and cultural contexts. The themes that emerge will help to inform present day policy and practice within a context of high unemployment amongst visually impaired people of working age. It is part of a growing literature which gives voice to disabled people about their own lives and which adds to the growing academic discipline of disability studies and the empowerment of disabled people. | Visual Impairment and Work Experiences of Visually Impaired People

Some Young People

Some Young People

The Richardson boys ganged up with two other big families in their buildings and at various ages had tried out most of the local youth organisations. Bert Richardson with a suitable set of brothers and mates was in the Scouts but they got ejected. Later at thirteen he joined a boys’ club for its boxing and football and belonged on and off till he was sixteen. Then he suddenly dropped out. Why did Bert drop out? Originally published in 1954 the answer forms the substance of Some Young People the report of an inquiry into adolescents’ reactions to their local youth groups. Besides answering the question Who joins what? (and two thirds of these thousand youngsters of 14 to 17 were not members of any youth organisation) the book describes some of the hopes pleasures and difficulties of such people as Frances the chocolate packer who has ambition to marry before long; and John the carpenter’s apprentice whose passions are autocycling pigeons and pigs.

Young People Social Media and the Law

Young People Social Media and the Law

This book critically confronts perceptions that social media has become a ‘wasteland’ for young people. Law has become preoccupied with privacy intellectual property defamation and criminal behaviour in and through social media. In the case of children and youth this book argues these preoccupations – whilst important – have disguised and distracted public debate away from a much broader and more positive consideration of the nature of social media. In particular the legal tendency to consider social media as ‘dangerous’ for young people – to focus exclusively on the need to protect and control their online presence and privacy whilst tending to suspect or to criminalise their use of it – has obscured the potential of social media to help young people to participate more fully as citizens in society. Drawing on sociological work on the construction of childhood and engaging a wide range of national and international legal material this book argues that social media may yet offer the possibility of an entirely different – and more progressive –conceptualisation of children and youth. | Young People Social Media and the Law

Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Despite the widespread promotion of children’s voices by activists and policy makers over the last decade the potential for young people’s knowledge to impact on adult agendas and policy arenas is by no means a certainty. This book presents critiques of participation in settings where young people are the centre of attention. The complexities and power-dynamics of youth- adult relationships are observed and analysed in a wide diversity of study environments from Hull to Sao Paulo rural Lesotho to Ghana using varied methods and over different time frames but with a strong focus throughout on context practice impacts and associated ethical considerations. The central concern of the book is not whether young people can produce better knowledge than adults but rather how to better understand the different knowledges which emerge from diverse actors within different generations in order to ensure that the maximum benefits accrue to children and young people with and for whom the research is conducted. This book was originally published as a special issue of Children's Geographies. | Children and Young People as Knowledge Producers

Posthuman Community Psychology is an exploration of mainstream psychology through a critical posthumanity perspective examining psychology’s place in the world and its relationship with marginalised people with a focus on people with disabilities.

Richards proposes that psychology has the potential to evolve and make a powerful and profound difference for marginalised people but a genuine desire for change from psychologists is essential for this to happen. Illustrating the important considerations needed when examining the relationship between the discipline of psychology and marginalised people this book is fascinating reading for community psychology students and academics aspiring professional psychologists community workers and policy makers. | Posthuman Community Psychology A Psychology for Marginalised People

Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

ASEAN has declared its intention to create a security community in Southeast Asia that is people-orientated. This book evaluates ASEAN’s progress and in doing so examines three matters of concern. The book firstly looks at the importance of constitutive norms to the workings of security communities by identifying ASEAN’s constitutive norms and the extent to which they act as a help of hindrance in establishing a security community. It then moves on to how ASEAN has interpreted people-orientated as empowering civil society organisations to be community stakeholders. The book discusses the uncertainty between how ASEAN envisages their role and the role they themselves expect to have. Civil society actors are seeking to influence what sort of community evolves and their ability to interact with the state elite is evaluated to determine what interpretation of people-oriented is likely to emerge. Thirdly in order to make progress ASEAN has sought to achieve cooperation among its member states in functional areas. The book examines this interest in functional cooperation through case studies on human rights HIV/AIDS and disaster management. By discussing the notion of ASEAN being people-orientated and how it engages with ‘the people’ the book provides important insights into what type of community ASEAN in building as well as furthering our understanding on security communities more broadly. | Building a People-Oriented Security Community the ASEAN way

Cautionary Tales Young People Crime and Policing in Edinburgh

Cautionary Tales Young People Crime and Policing in Edinburgh

Juvenile crime makes headlines. It is the stock-in-trade of politicians and pundits. But young people are also the victims of crime. They too have demands to make of the police. Drawing upon survey and interview research with 11 to 15 year-olds in Edinburgh this book examines how crime impacts upon young people’s everyday lives. It reveals that young people experience far more serious problems as victims and witnesses of crime than they cause as offenders. It shows that they report little of their experiences of crime to the police and are left to find their own ways of managing risk such as telling cautionary tales about dangerous people and places. The study concludes by examining young people's relations with the police suggesting they are over-controlled as suspects and under-protected as victims. | Cautionary Tales Young People Crime and Policing in Edinburgh
